a cylist

rode my new[actually my bro's] cycle trek3700 today....could covered just 14kms in 1hr 20mins....this is the first time am riding a geared mountain bike and think its pretty cool

moral of the story-

1-bang traffic sucks really

2-never ever listen to ur mom regarding directions

3-my stamina is too poor...

p.s-

15 days of day duty[labour] coming up from sund....am already sweating!!:(

miracleS

miracles in life-

1-a just born asphyxiated baby surviving after almost 10 minutes of nonstop cpr[by myself and a paediatrician]+adrenaline trail....we had almost decided to declare it dead to the party concerned...after successfull resuscitation it was shifted to nicu immediately.[but our concern was the amount of brain damage baby would have suffered due to the episode]

2-a lady delivering a "healthy" baby instead of urinating in bathroom...

3-an anaemic mother surviving the delivery and coming out of it as healthy as any mother....

4-me not delivering a single baby yestersay in 24 hours

p.s-

god is indeed sending his much needed blessings upon the needy!;)

she came,saw and delivered.....referring to a patient whom i delivered within minutes of getting admitted at 4 in the morning

p.s-

yesterday was my coolest duty...only one delivery in 24 hrs with lots of sleep in between;)!!

do nos matter?

3+3+6+4=16!

p.s-

no of deliveries conducted by me till now[in 4 days]....

my twitter link...http://twitter.com/pratapu[just in case]

little moments of joy

i feel overwelmed and indeed very happy when i-

-see the baby's head suddenly popping out of the mothers womb[oops!] and rotates[called restitution]

-for the first time hold the baby in my hands and direct it towards the mother lying there exhausted[really appr them for this kind of hardship they undergo]....

-take the baby for suctioning and on putting the tube inside its tiny nose it Sneezes[atchoo!!]

p.s-

just check this out...a womans quest for 100 kisses in paris....wth!

a senior staff in my college to my friend[male!] "tell me if u taking mrcs exams,even i will take so that we can study TOGETHER"!!!!...wth[2]

 

Delivery man

after 12 hours of labour duty-

i have delivered[independently] 3 babies[statistically quite less compared to my other cointerns]

assisted for about another 3!!...

p.s-

still amazed[and surprised] with the way i conducted my first one...just some moves here and there and within a few secs i had a healthy female child crying in my gloved hands[for which the mother gratefully thanked me!!:)]

Mr Catcher

My first day in obg was as wierd as it can get....first of all its a subj which seems so greek and latin to me[learning theory and doing it practically r so diffn] and a 12 hour continous night shift in the first day itself was something hard to digest[though we had done many double duties in med]...Luckily now am in a ward[srlw] where cases r quite less and luckily i can sleep atleast for 4-6 hours during night shifts.

p.s-

1-yesterday as soon i entered the room i saw many preg ladies lying on the bed ready to be delivered...it was such a weird feeling...didnt know wht to say or do..i just had to like a zombie roam around a bit for some company[other cointerns:P]

2-from drugs to equipments used seemed new as if i had read this subj long back...guess i have to do my home work properly...!:(

3-2 days brk now...next duty is on sunday!!...

4-the best part is that sisters do most of the work here[unlike in med,surgery] and we just have to sit back and order them/impress them[?]!!..;)

life goes on

new place,new people,new work!!...

atlast my surgery postings came to an end today with a pre-ot duty...didnt had much work[post duty] except for preparing 4 patients for ot tomo....finally had to say bye to our pgs and come home..Obg[from tomorrow] now will be in a diffn hosp with diffn setup,people and faculty!!...[wish me good look!!:)]

p.s-

me doing my last wound suturing @ casualty on monday night.....it was a classical assault case with a chisel!![as usual]!!..lol..

could anyone make out tht am a lefty?;)

updates

a very beautiful song sung by Md rafi..."Likhe Jo Khat Tujhe"

p.s-

1-just 2 more days in surgery!

2-watched taking of pelham 123....it rocks![just like any other Denzil washington movie]

3-down with a leaking tap[running nose]...perhaps a nosocomial infection[or swine flu?!-who cares!:P].

croak like a toad, then go ahead! And with all your might! Make them hear you!" -

A day at the casualty

yesterdays night duty was one of the worst night shifts i had in surgery....

10-12 pain abdomen cases who come all the way from remote places and that too most of the times  @ around 12 in the midnight....

5-6 rta[road traffic accident] cases 

countless assault cases[bread and butter of surgery emergency!!] with bruises,cuts and broken bones.....[one old fellow had got punched directly on the face and one of his tooth had fallen off....now how the hell am i supposed to find a dentist in the middle of the night!!]

p.s-

bullet i got to see from the pistol of the DGP who had come for a shootout case[with the victim].
