did 8am to 8pm at the hosp on fri, 10am to 6pm on sat. rest on sun but 8am to 6pm on mon. I want a break!
yest, observed this 2hr +++ operation of a hemicolectomy. Thats where u cut right through the abdomen, open up all the layers of fat and muscle then cut some large bowel up and staple the ends back tog. It was gross watching the surgeon taking this metal jug(like the kind u see in restaurants) of water, pouring into the abdomen with intestines to give it a wash. Also the wash where the hose with water was stuck from the other end was gross with faeces coming out onto the theatre floor...green stuff. gross. so after a while, i was getting tired of staring and felt light headed, so i took a step back and it was worse! cos now i saw the patient as a whole with midline incision and intestines out of it.....just like what I see when cats/birds get run over by cars and intestines spilling out.
Anyway, op went well. I got to hold the retractors for a while and talked a bit to the surgeon and registra who found out my name. Met the registra today and he called out my name...i was in shock and gave a little scream(in the hosp)...yeah so inappropriate.
stuffed my face at lunch time with free sandwiches courtesy of a drug company. I like asparasgus with chesses the best.
Good News! I have found a new home for my pet fish. I realised the paediatric ward has a fish tank with regular fish living in it. So asked if they would take my fish and they said yes....so now i don't need to wish my fish dies before I leave. Cos my frens would ask what will i do with mr fishy when I leave here. I cant bring him home. I cant donate him to the dried up river. can't donate him to the park pond(he prob wont survive) . so i just said I would wish he dies so that prob is solved. Now, I will wish he lives forever more!yay!
Andrew the anaethetist is nice...greets me and talks to me. Just like it when doctors are nice and it doesnt make u feel awkward.
Oh, today at antaomy tute, Dr Alistiar brought in chocs for us to eat...so we passed it round and after passing to me a few times( i ate half the packet), they passed it to him and i thought he would take 1 and passed it back. He took the whole packet and put it back on his table. SO, i made this groan like i wanted more....and everyone laughed. so he got the hint and passed it back to us! then i cont to finish the packet.
Later in the tute, he was going round asking students to report on the fractures in hte xrays. I hoped he did not pick me cos i suck at it. I started sneezing continuously for about 10x. when i stopped, he said, "are u finished?" I said," sorry i think i am allergic to something." he says," i think its because u are nervous that u are going to answer this xray. and so pls tell me what u see on this xray". I gasp and try to divert the question by saying i need some tissue(when actually i did not). He actually went out of the room to get me tissue! so when he came back, I had to report the xray! darn!
