last day
3/4pm there was this skinny old man with pneumothorax. was very alert and responsive and all, not bad. looked at his CXR, discernible air space. Chest tube was done. by this dunno who doctor with a very nice stethoscope. the stethoscope is the electronically enhanced one, so funky. most experienced guy arnd in A&E that day. it always feels very weird that they do such things with the patient awake, sigh. ok, nvm. was surprised at how fast the procedure is. wonder how funny it feels to have this tube coming out of your chest.
the guy was transfered to alexandra hospital, like many others today. ttsh must be really really short of beds.
5-6-7pm was a crazy time in resus coz so many people came in. at one point all four resus stations were occupied.
there was this old woman, ?stroke, BP initially was 200+/100+. intubation done to for breathing, totally unconscious, doc did the use pen scratch on the sole of the foot thing, i was like ahh.. helped push her to take CT Scan. wah gotta transfer all the oxygen, monitors, stuff. then push out past all the pple. first time seeing a CT scan being done and staying inside the control room! the scan is so fast. their computers are so nice too, such Big screens and lots of buttons.
CT scan came up with no bleeding i think. then they sent her up to ICU. i went too. neuro ICU. $1000 per day, cool. their ICU is sooo nice. gosh i've never been in there too. got indiv rooms for each patient. got so the whole bank of equipment in there. got nice colour monitors showing rhythms. look like this space station kinda place.
found out that they have a separate set of lifts for staff to use, and for transfering pple. very mafan, their doors like to have buttons at different places all the time, and then some need cards.
then there was this old man who got IV at the neck!! wah. finally saw one liddat!
what else... there was this nice motherly looking doc who was explaining alot to us, and a nice male nurse who was explaining a lot too. there was one grumpy idiot male who was being an idiot. surprising lot of china sounding nurses there. and doc with accents.
there was a guy coughing up blood.
there was a guy with BP 60+/30+.
there was a policman bitten by a insane woman at woodbridge. IM ATT.
there was a guy dripping blood from his finger onto the floor.
there was a woodbridge guy with chest pain and acting funny.
there was a pretty young attractive doctor.
there was a whole slew of CXRs in the resus.
there was a motorcyclist hit by a car but not very badly injured (relatively)
there was a person earlier in the day, multiple trauma, multiple fractures, cardiac arrest, DOA @ hospital.
ok that's all i remember for now.
