Hospital Attachment

I was on a week's attachment at GHKL (KL general hospital) for a week together with evie, lay in, li yeen, shang, anu and wen hao. overall it was fun and we learnt alot. we were attached to the surgery unit, and was divided into two deparments : vascular, and breast&endocrine(B&E). Most of the staffs there were pretty friendly to us, it might be due to the fact that they're used to getting students running around anyway. Yup, so in B&E, we saw alot of breast exams and mastectomies. Tue and Thurs were clinic days, (thurs was more to endocrine) and we also observed thyroid exams, an inguinal hernia case plus rectal exam. While we were in the OT, we ran around theatre hopping as we like. some of the surgeons pretend as if they didnt see you at all but at least they didnt shoo us, but some were kind enough to explain what they were doing or why they were doing it. among the ops that ive seen include mastectomy, correction of an anal fistula, laproscopic cholecystectomy, and a colorectal cancer case where part of the descending colon was removed...

And the one thing that i'm gonna miss most abt that place? It's that blue carrier shaft thing, that subs the lifts (very slow, and always crowded). The best thing abt these shafts.. are that they are FOR STAFFS ONLY. Nyehehe.. and we could use it as we please, because we have the green pass!

The other vascular dept were gonna have a vascular clinic week nx week, and they asked them to help out.. so im gona go back on monday to help out! :D:D and gonna fly to uk to see someone i hvnt been seeing for 6 weeks now.....
