My recent motto 'Do everything the right way' and so far, its working well. Yea, I've skipped 2 clinics this week but only because I failed to wake up for the first one and because of an on call later today in the evening.
I would like to say that i nailed my on call night. Not so many of a "Uh ..... " night. Useless information in my brain was finally a bit wee more useful today. So, what are the most common type of cranial lumps in paeds? hematoma in scAlP (periosteal and aponeurosis). how in the world could i have remembered that from med school years ago?!
I guess one thing is still quite true about peads attachments. No matter how much of books I could potentially digest at home, it never measures up to a day of specialty clinic. And that's mainly because everything I read, is non tpical for an adult, let alone in paeds.
There was a female specialist registrar, chinese, probably a taiwanese, bringing me along in the wards round. Damn, finally I've met with a non consultant that knows their stuff. Me and Daniel said to ourselves 'So, that's how it is to always make sense, it's just so simple'. How come WE can't do it??
Looking at the patients in the clinics, I just realized I'm at least at the top of 95th percentile for being such a lucky person. I'm not sick, nor in severe poverty, nor do i need to stick a needle in me 3 times a day such as in diabetics. Gosh I am lucky.
Today marks the end of the first week in paeds. With any luck, I'll get a bike tomorrow and do the one thing I've been wanting to do for a while now. The place where something FIRST happened in Aberdeen. I hope that place hasn't change.
