its over

my internship is over, and i am sorry for the almost 3 month long hiatus in updating my blog!

my life was very busy on the personal front, which i am very happy about :)

my last posting was in surgery. had a nice time working in it. orthopaedics was a part - my last week in it wasnt so great :P

but orthopaedics is one posting where they let you participate in surgeries a lot.

anesthesia was interesting too, got to perform lumbar puncture and try my hand at intubating a patient's throat before giving him anesthesia!

eye posting was quite lame, as after almost 2 years of studying eye interns dont remember what was taught, so basically didnt learn much. did a few syringing of eyes and tonometry though.

ent posting was a similar experience like eye. i got to remove a nasal pack. child's play basically. mainly what inters had to do was write discharges :P

the only thing i missed is getting a chance at a surgery. lucky ones did get.

once the internship was over, i went around thanking the doctors who were kind to me and whom i appreciated. asked for blessings.

mainly missing the company of my best friends now. and the settled life that we had for 5.5 years in pokhara!

its time for a new beginning but waiting for my old mates and my soulmate to join me soon.

wish me luck.

Yesterday

the university exams have begun and so the interns on exam duty scramble around doing their best to help.

rebecca, tsering and prashanna here. tim is just an onlooker, while sambhav is not in the pic.

on my duty night yesterday in post-op room. i saw this cute scene where this kid was touching the mum's cheek :)

mum underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gall stones via a scope)

looking forward to more sleep.
