Filipus Dasawala, BMedSc

Just received my degree in medical science :D

2.5 years more...

Finished my first rotation!

Okay, though I intended to post each week about my experience in different hospitals, I could not make it due to several reasons, such as, internet connection and work hours.

To make things worse, during my last rotation week, I got sick, pretty bad, which kind of frustrating because I still got one more presentation, one portfolio exam, and final written examination.

In the end, I think somehow I was able to pull it off.

I cannot wait for my second rotation in the eye department.

Tales from the ED part 1

I have been meaning to post about my first week, but since last week is a holiday, I found myself doing a lot of household chores and taking elective night duties.

Okay, here I go.

First day. What the heck I was supposed to do here? Ok, I will just follow the residents. Please don't ask me to do a thing, I am here just to watch.

On the contrary, I was ask to measure the vital signs and put in NGT and Urine catheter. My thought went blank. I ended up measuring the vital signs and load the patient with RL only. Apparently, the patient must be moved to the resuscitation room.

Second day. Hey, it was not that bad. Make a status? Nervousness plus uncooperativeness equals disaster.

Third day + electives. Excitement and Exhaustion.

I started to get the hang out of it. However, tomorrow I'll start at a new hospital. Hopefully, all goes well like it has been.
