Invigilation

4 Days of community medicine exam!

i was on duty in the department on all 4 days.

the 1st 2 days i had ken and vishesh, and the last 2 days i had geetanjali and amitanshu.

we were briefed by rashmi ma'am, who was in-charge of conducting the exams.

basically, from scouting for patients for the examinees to take history from, to organising and managing the rotation of all the students to all the examiners.

basically it was a challenging job demanding decent management skills as well, and i would like to believe we aced it!

we were literally on our toes, running around, helping students, helping patients, helping examiners, from 8am to 3pm! everyday!

i have to say, the help i got on the last two days was much much more than what i got on the 1st two. vishesh was always late and ken was always on the phone!

i was surprised how helpful amitanshu proved to be, and geetanjali turned out an asset for the students!

it was a nice experience overall, feels so great when the students you helped come back to you and thank you from their hearts!

just like i felt for my seniors who were there to help me during my exam days!

thanks to them, i am able to carry forward the karma!

geetanjali and me on the last afternoon of exams, feeling a sense of accomplishment!

rituparno striking a pose, just before his spotters, while sharmila cant help but 'peep' from the background! :P

sharmila couldn't stop singing nitesh singh's praises! apparently nitesh did a great job when he was on duty during their pre-lims.

examinees doing the spotters!

nandu the peon and the cleaning lady chat after the exams are done!

sharmila was never happy with the help she got! she wants more! :P

short stint in the ER

yesterday i learned to suture a scalp laceration!!
yehhhhhhh. did alright.

poor lady fell and hit her head against something and on her forehead she got a nasty 7-9cm long cut and the skull below could be seen! it was that deep!

she got 7 stitches!
prolene 000 suture material.

done with GONESA

done with gonesa after 2 weeks there.

GONESA is basically an italian-funded NGO working for young children in nepal among other things.

this is their little classroom for little kids .

how well behaved, right ?

the clinic at gonesa, with 2 dedicated sisters treating the sick.

this is where i got to do my job. i.e. sit and get bored.

:P

not really, i did see a few ill kids and gave them some medicine.

you see the old one on the right?

MAN, does she talk! :P

Gonesa?

really? seriously? Gonesa (GOod NEighbour Service Association) is a waste of time!?

its been 5 days of posting, there is no protocol for what one has to do there. those people hardly talk to anyone who visits. no instructions about the job, or where to sit or what to do.
its like a complete waste of time. from the people who have already been there, information came that we have to treat sick kids there. but i didnt see any sick kids neither did i see them treat anyone.
weird posting. useless.
