I can't believe how time flies! Entering the month of Gawai, it will be the 8th month I am working as houseman(HO) in Sibu Hospital. As usual, I am doing the countdown, another 17 months to go! While waiting for the time to come, I promised myself to enjoy my housemanship years. Be positive! It is just 2 years of my whole life! And now, I am so happy to be in O&G department, it is just that I will be going to Gyne soon. As a normal human being, who loves the period of adaptation?
Two days ago, during my PM shift, I went in for an emergency EUA (Examination Under Anaesthesia) + Vaginal Wall Repair. Seriously, this is my first time entering this procedure in OT. I don't know, as for my surgeon, it is just a simple and minor procedure but as I never saw it before, I did not want to miss this opportunity. Thankfully, my surgeon is a very nice person. She taught me while she was doing the procedure, allowing me to feel this and that. I always believe that nothing is worth more than the experience that you gain during your training! Or else, you will never learn! Corrugated drain was inserted for this patient.
This morning, as usual, being a postcall HO, we will review the patients in postnatal
ward, discharging them if they are well. I came across this patient and today, her corrugated drain need to be removed. I am quite happy to have the opportunity to remove it under my MO supervision. My colleague was weird to see that I was contented to have an opportunity to do this small little procedure but as for me, if I do not know how to do this simple things or little procedure, how am I going to talk about those procedure such as Bilateral Tubal Ligation, Caesarean Section and etc. Obstetric is not all about doing caesar only (^_^) How about Ultrasound scan? Is it a black and white creature staring at me (^_^") This one I guess I need more practice.
Tiring working and oncall, but tiring doesn't mean that I am not enjoying it. Great to have one day off tomorrow! Happy Sunday....time to go to church! I am so sleepy by now, my panda eyes are getting worse. Miss my friends in medical school, especially my old housemates. Hope they are doing well in their respective hospitals. I wonder when are we going to plan our unplanned holidays :P as usual...
