My Day @ Hospital Away~

Today was quite hectic. Woke up at 7.30am, went to anatomy lab at 9 and then to the hospital at 10. I have to do my case write up and hence need to take pt history and physical examination. Everything seems fine and dandy until BAM! A surgeon that doing her ward round appeared! Dun dun dunn!

She noticed us (me+my partner) and asked us to join her round ESPECIALLY when she know we already do quite some stuff with the patient she gonna attend. No reason to refuse right? WRONG! After finished talking and examining the pt, she look at us and start a pop quiz! These was some of the conversation recorded inside my brain....

S-surgeon,U-us,M-me, Mm-me in monolog mode, F-friend
S: So, u guys a 2nd year med student rite?
U:yeap
S:As u can see, this patient have this and this (Medical content is omitted for the sake of confidentiality and too tired to write). Can u explain why is that happening?

....
Mm: hell, why this doctor suddenly asked a question without warning! Oh no, she staring at me.. Calm down, look cool...

M: I think that happen because of this and this.
S:urm, ok. thats quite rite. so explain more.

Mm: Shit, there is more to it? Stop torturing me already! I dont mind if this is one on one situation but please dont put my on the spotlight with all this interns and nurses staring at me! Oh wait, let me give SOS signal to my friend.

Bep...Bip... Bep...
Fortunately, my friend get the SOS signal and help me.

F: We only know that much. sorry.

Mm: Why i didnt think of that?

After that, few more question being thrown in. LUCKILY, i can answer most of the question as i just read about them few days before! At least im not making fool of myself.... Satisfied, the surgeon moved to the next pt but my partner and i quickly escaped by using some trickery (we told her we have a lecture after this... which correct but not until 2 more hours but who give a damn!)

2 Hours later, i went to the lecture in RNC (hospital lecture hall) and endure 3 hours of lecture! Then i went home, have dinner and now writing this stuff. Life is great don't u think?
