last 2 days in ED..

Me with Mo Phaung n Regina @ ED's procedure room (LAST DAY!)

Orthopaedics room was cool.. met a 'yah yah papaya' female hand Dr with slang, as what Diana described her as.. But she was actually not so bad lah.. we went to observe the I&D procedure, and 'assist' her by holding the pt's hand up.. and surprising she said 'thanks a lot'! At least she appreciated my help~ Seen a few cases, like a woman that cut herself when slicing soap and the wound is so deep that the tendon is exposed (not the whole tendon). Diabetic foot, # finger.. Later we get to observe the Dr doing CLOSED M&R on an elderly women, who had a # at her wrist i think.

* M&R = Manipulation and reduction. In closed M&R, the Dr will do a nerve block via IV bolus and he/she will straighten / pull the pt's hand in alignment.

Was assigned to CCA / Resus room, but wasnt much cases or any resus case.. so we went to walk ard and stayed in the procedure room after the break.. Saw one super bloody case, A chinese national man came in for I&D.. thumb got pus and his thumbnail have to be removed.. Later, a small girl came in cos she got scalded, suffered from superficial wounds.. lucky her.. and the EN did dressing for her.. Ard 8.30pm, a middle-aged Chinese man came in from the fever area, cos his wound was slightly open and the Dr have to suture it back.. but the pt was very nice lah... he can even chit-chat with the Dr man.. haha.. =)

Next week in MOT! hopefully it will be good and fruitful posting!! =DD

HAPPY 21ST B'DAY to my horse XL!! HEEEE~~ (grow up to b an ADULT 'horse' ald!)
