Well...end of another week again.
Friday's ward was great.
Met a heroin addict... nice lady too. sigh...i think that society shouldn't discriminate against them
some of them just don't do drugs because they like the highs or the kicks or their just bums.
SOme take it to block the pain and forget their sorrow...
Don't u guys get it?
And we had a new consultant as tutor too.
I think he's more down to earth that thursday tutor.
He made us stand in the corridor and do a 'kit check'
Those of us who had our stethescopes dangling from our necks got it promptly removed and coiled up and stuffed into our pockets personally by him ( yes, i was one of them...well...i was never able to stuff my in my pocket and i never dared to coil it up as well as he could )
then he did a spot check for tendon hammers,
and since only only one of us had it, he ended the tutorial with a stern warning that next friday he wanted to see us in '' Full KIT" with stethescope, pen torch and tendon hammer and that he would be doing a spot check. cool...
yup, then he brought us to see this old lady,
and then led us through end of bed examination and then got us to do some examinations for him
he got me to do this totally new superficial tendon reflex tests (which we had never been taught)
The hoffman and somehting else i forgot...
man....... he was there guiding me to do it...and it was UNNERVING...
he's a nice quite guy, but it's the quite powerful sorta feeling that u get from him.
do there i was desperately flicking the lady's 3rd finger distal phalanx ( tip of middle finger) trying to get her freaking thumb to flex,
and he was positioning my fingers, telling me to flick slowly, showing me how to do it again...
and when i finally go the boody reflex he said " you'll never be good at sal...dol" ( it's this board game where u flick counterrs into pockets in the corner)
oh well...guess i'll have ot keep my day job then.
well...that's all that i have to say.
ha! in library using hotspot now...
man...talk about coincidence...
all 3 of us here at this table are using IBM of I think the same T or R series....
CHeers!
