Everything went on really well today.

My case presentation in front of the batch and 2 profs.

And the most important thing is when the ptn said sorry to me for being grumpy to me last week when i was trying to obtain a history from her, every other things didn't matter anymore.

thanks to the one who gave me the case. he's gone and i miss him. ;)

thanks to those who listened =)

thanks to the ptn ;)

random...=.=lll

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

I know it's no big deal....

But it's big deal for me!!!!!!

My first subcuticular suture on a real patient was done today!!!!!!!!!!

with a bit of "intentional tremor"...

with a bit of cold sweats...

10 cm long of subcuticular was done...

but it was EXCELLENT - that's what the reg said...

=)

=)

Thanks Dr. B

Stop it...

Stop annoying the heck out of me...

Stop guessing stupidly...

Stop asking me whether is that guy my boyfriend or not when I've answered for 3 freaking times already...

and to u who is annoying...

I am not interested in you!!!

Should I?

After 3 weeks of surgical posting, I kind of made up my mind to become a surgeon in the future.

But, after being put on the spot to see a ptn in ED upfront and trying hard to dx but failed terribly. This is what the surgeons need to do in seeing an urgent surgical ptn. I am not sure whether I will be able to bear with all the stress and hardwork.

Yup...I know it's always not easy if one wants to excel in something. Be it training to be surgeon or even cooking up a good meal.

After witnessing how "chaotic" a surgeon's life could be (having to wake up in the wee hours to perform surgeries), I am apprehensive about my decision.

But, it's the first time I felt so much into it as compared to the other specialties that I like.

Should I?

though there's still a long way to go...

I want to remember...

today...

I want to remember today...

Scrubbed in for an inguinal hernia repair surgery..(i know i know..not such a big deal)

But, i was really grateful to the surgeon to let me

see all the structures layer by layer...

cutting thro all the fibres and fats so that i could have a good view of external oblique muscles..

feel the external ring..

feel the spermatic cord...

identify the ilioinguinal nerve...

put my little finger thro the herniated peritoneal sac and feel the intestines...

answering all my "silly and weird" questions...

and talking and making it a very pleasant learning surgery...

I really like surgery...

Thank you Dr...

Baking spree...=)

One fine friday night, with all these ingredients, I made...


CUPCAKES and MUFFINS for Hui Ling's 24th birthday!!!!


Hope u liked it...=)

Hohoho!!!=)

With a well-rested brain(slept for 8 and a half hours), I went for surg 2 ward round at 7 am...

And I ended up with...

Only 4 inpatients "round-ed"..

2 ED ptns review..

1 met call..

1 emergency laporotomy which then revealed a GI perforation related to non-hodgkin Lymphoma (MALT). Not to mention taking pics of the "HOLE" and weird looking transverse colon.

1 mastectomy..

1 carpal tunnel decompression surgery..

and a fully hyped up ME after seeing a toxic abdo with perforated stomache and DISTENDED transverse colon, pectoralis major muscles in which a live-beating heart is pumping o.O, median nerve (real one)..

still hyper after 6 hours of standing and peeping in between surgeons and under surgeon's arm or armpits..!!!(sigh...medical student wat...)

Oh ya..and a scene where a doctor turning scarily-PALE and nearly fainted in the theatre...hehe...(I hope he doesnt see this)..

I LIKE SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How lah....Now i feel like i like surg too after thinking that Cardio might be interesting, ID might be challenging, Haematology might be interesting too, Renal sounds fun and Neuro has always been mysteriously captivating...

tough choice, tough choice...

haha...
