4 more months... before freedom

Soooooo September at last.. Final month on my 3rd rotation: Internal Medicine, before I start with the 4th and last one: Gyencology and Obstetrics... So hard to wait.

Here I am, listening ES Posthumus, taking a short break from cleaning patient's wounds on the IM ward (mostly ulcers). Bit tired as my parther and I deal with +20-30 patients per day, everyday; nevertheless I felt like writing this journal to let people know that I'm alive :laughing: I survived the AH1N1 infection, mostly cuz it wasn't the real disease (PCR went negative), so I'm still exposed with all the cases that arrive (last 3 were a severe asmatic girl, a pregnant woman and now a cardiopathic patient).

Love doesn't go well.. many troubling things to mention... she's a bit difficult, but it is ultimately a secondary directive as it is for her.

Anyway art continues, slowly but it does keep going. I'm advancing with some colored versions for some artworks I've posted, as well as drawing new artworks or completing old ones.

Good thing its saturday, tonight I'm gathering with some friends to watch a film... Ice Age 3 on DVD... I hope they'll come.

Got AH1N1 myself? :S

Lol after being exposed to 2-5 confirmed cases (hospital personel included) and several suposed cases seems I've become one myself.

4 days I've been with throat sore, er mucus, otalgia and some other upper airway symptoms. It's been 2 days with 38.8-39ºC Fever (not so sure what's that like on Farenheit degrees).

Still I keep working... exposed to all other non viral threats on the Service of Internal Medicine at this hospital I'm working at :laughing: I hope this won't go worse.

Trapped with a possible AH1N1

So now I'm doing my 3rd unit at my Medicine Internship... which is Internal Medicine. A 14 years old patient was admited to my service 2 days ago who's on isolation due to a probable case of AH1N1. I've had contact with this patient like 3 times (since I have to check on him daily) with the proper protection still.

The only thing that worries me is that I've been with sneezing for 4days and today I started coughing.

I hope I didn't catch anything here... not just this so called AH1N1 virus but some other serious diseases that are around on this service like Nosocomial Pneumonia or Milliar Tuberculosis :paranoid:

Well... as always I'm too busy to continue so I'd better be going for now.

Yet another night shift at the Surgery ED Ward

:yawn: Well it's 00:21h here at the Hospital I'm doing my medicine Internship; SURGERY is my current unit til the end of June, pretty easy stuff, I've been doing lotsa stuff on my own these last 2 months and given many chances to do cool stuff, except the fact that I haven't been granted with an appendicectomy for myself yet... June should be my chance.

Right now things seem to have settle down a bit... no patients for now, which is a good thing so I may rest a bit; after all, I'm doing an inter-daily ED shift and still means getting up early tomorrow to attend the Surgery Main Ward (I'm at the Emergency Department one) before the Assistant MD checks on the patients before 08:00h.

So i wanted to greet you all and announce that even though I'm busy here I keep doing my artistic stuff in here and keep drawing dettailed stuff, got a lot to be scanned next time I got to Trujillo, which will be this saturday by afternoon. Still not sure If I'll upload it.

I see dA is getting a cooler interfase everytime I get to visit it, which is nice.

See ya all for now, I gotta check up on a patient's X-ray I ordered 30 mins ago.

Working hard in here :o

It has been 3 months already since I began doing my Medicine Internship, I miss home, haven't gone back there since Dec 31st. My first unit was Pediatrics and Neonatology, I did it great, gained a lot more patience and skill with dealing with children and I was practically on my on at the Emergency Department Day and Night Shifts. The babies at NEO were kinda hard at first but eventually got it over.

Now I've just started Surgery as my 2nd Unit, I'm on my 1st Shift already but since there are no patients atm I'm Using the PC at the General Medicine room.

Anyway I don't have much time so I just wanted to login and say hello to everyone. If i get a scanner someday I'll upload the stuff I made over these three months.

Hmm, I got patients, time to go.. see ya for now.
