code blue

ok,trying to recall every details that happened yesterday.it was quite and exciting day (tiring of course!).from 8am-6pm,i just had around 30mins of seating time.(huhu, hoped some calories were burnt). started in the morning before neuro unit had their ward round. i was looking at of the stroke pt's file,then the intern/resident came and she said that she needed that file for the round and we are invited to follow her.of course la kan we wont miss this opportunity.it was kinda really exciting because she was explaining almost every single thing she's doing to us and i had the chance to write in the report.seriously!!i'm very the very excited to sign my surname in the file.i never really used my surname on its own before this! then after seeing a few stroke patients, our neuro unit started their round and we followed them.but it's not as usual bcos we didnt start the round in the ward but at the ED. before that there's one neurologist(whom i dont know his position) reported to us the lists of casualties that we have to see.there's actually 3 pts atthe ED..three!! at the..ED!! a lot of things happened and i think this entry will be extremely long,so i'll just make it into dot points
- suddenly the ED nurse ask us, the meddies, to help gowning this 1 emergency pt who came with severe renal colic.cant really describe how i fell being involved in an emergency for the 1st time.plus the fact that it's soo unexpected.eventho it seems like nothing to help the gowning, but still, it's something big from a view.so touched and feel appreciated when the ED nurse thanks us for being extra help and nathalie did say ' well done'.for such a simple thing, well done?? i'm soo touched!!!
- watched another lumbarpuncture
- there's one new elective student from england into our unit.cant really describe how 'jaw gagging' i was to hear her british accent.quite enjoyed the round with her because at least i'm doing something by filling her in with info as we went on.she said she'll be lost if we didnt fill her in.no worries, mate.we r also a student!
- chris said that my jaw can be repaired with $17,000!!
- saw a nystagmus. intranuclear opthamoplegia to be exact!

-went back home and didnt go straight to my usual 'sleep'. did soem ironin and organising the wardrobe and bookrack.
-went to sleep at 3am bcos tried to finish up reading the ebcp.
