d maka-move on!

First week of second sem went very well, I guess. All the firsts were okay! First quiz for M.S., first IFC (indwelling foley cath.) insertion and the first case in the OR (operating room).

During our first day of duty in the OR, there were no cases left for our RLE group. Our time of duty is from 2-10pm. We're like, "Sino'ng may balat sa pwet?!" At that time there was only one of us who had a case from the past OR duty. Then after an hour, there were 3 emergency cases. Two of which are emergency CS (cesarean sec.) and one exlap. The exlap patient did not survive though!

The next day I am one of those SNs who will surely have a case. I was praying for the MRM (Modified Radical Mastectomy) but I was assigned to scrub in the ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) R femur and tibia. It was cool. Hehe. Dr. R was very noisy and claims himself to be the fastest in his field, maybe just a lil slower than Dr. C. Resident Dr. L will be a very good surgeon, I must say! I think the anesthesiologist is the owner of the handsome BMW parked in front of Lev. I wasn't really listening when they were talking about the cars they own. Dr. D (everyone's crush?! except me!) explained to me about the greater trochanter chorva. I've only seen the "greater trochanter" printed in books but not in real life. So, oo na lang ako. Anyway, the operation was very brutal. Hehe. I had to help in retracting and suctioning. My left arm was very fatigued after. How's that for a first case? I just have to figure out on how to make a pathophysiology for a vehicular accident! I only scrubbed in for the ORIF R femur. A new set scrubbed in for the ORIF R tibia.

'Yun pala! natalamsikan ako ng blood sa mask at sa eyelid. Buti talaga hindi sa mata kundi walk out siguro ako! Dapat sa mga ganung dirty case e naka-goggles! Sumenyas na lang sakin yung isang residente na "It's okay." Sana wala na akong ortho case! Hehe! Pero okay lang din kung meron.

Dameng requirements... As usual!
