The new Begining...nephrology...
I have finally ended surgery and had already spend 2 days at nephrology...
so far so good...I am very happy to be back in a medical based posting...since I've never had any exposure in nephrology while as a houseman, this is a good time for me to fill up the empty gaps...I guess this is one of the problems when you are attached to a hospital that is too specialised...we had exposure in hepatology and cardiology, but not nephrology...i wonder why also...
I had already done 2 stab PD on my second day at nephrology....really cool, finally get my hands on it...though I must say that it can be a rather dangerous procedure...since you're going in blind, there is always the risk of bowel perforation or viscus injury...have to keep praying that you dont drain out blood or faeculent material...I have already seen all these complications while I was in general surgery.
My first Femoral catheter was done in nephro...cool man...the catheter itself already costs rm 200 ++, failure is not an option...now he can do dialysis...
The team is smaller in nephrology (as compared to surgery)....but the HOD is one great person...he spends a lot of time doing clinical work...my respect for him...I have great MO's to work with...hope that I can keep up the standards around here...not feeling as depressed as I should (I have this tendency to feel depressed when I join new postings, cause I'm like a dumo there...), though there are so many things that I still don't understand in nephro...my consultant said, "its okay, you're going to be blur this week, but don't worry, you'll learn".
