miracles do happen...

a guy who was pushed off a train to brought to casualty with both his legs cut into 2 pieces[leg pieces in a plastic bag]...

me[as CMO] to ortho resident-i think he is dead bro!

ortho resident-he is breathing asshole...common boys its time save him!!

miraculously he is resuscitated and brought back to life  with fluids etc by the ortho and casualty team!!


this what gives me more happiness...not some OBAMA winning some damn election somewhere....CHANGE wont happen to us right?

p.s-

now tht obama wins..every tom dick and harry sitting in their office here wants to fbook it...wht crap!!

time factor...

when a case comes to casualty...

time taken

for history taking-15mins [with my full blown butler tamil]

for xray -30 min...yeah thats how our emergency works here....everyone here [except the docs] work at their own pace whether the patient convulses,faints or dies

for me to see that x-ray and come to a diagnosis-another 15mins....

means just for a simple cough case i spend a useless 1hr [of my life] and end up prescribing some lame tonic or tablet [cant prescribe genuine ones available outside since the patients cant afford.....they come to casualty with a 5rs/10rs note in their pocket!]

p.s-

1-another night duty yesterday-not much cases but still no decent sleep..coz i had to attend a call at 3am for a simple asthma case....

2-happy ganesha chathurthi :)

joke[s] of the week....

whats the similarity between washing machines and girls??

















?







?





even if one of these is not available

then we have to use our own hands:)

p.s-
one of my friend replies back to this sms joke "wives dont like washing clothes!!"...wtf![actual joke]

p.s.s-
really excited abt AVATAR...going tomo but my only concern is tht how will i wear 3d glasses with my power glasses[0.5-ve] on??!!...any suggestions??...

fish market...

have u ever been to a fish market?[non vegs]
i have never been to one[am a egg eating veggie] but guess it will be somewhat similar to the ops in our departments on mondays...lots of people[with all sorts of complaints] shouting and running here and there and we like vendors trying to convince[or somehow escape] them somehow.This is so coz all the weekend cases would have been accumulated[unless its an emergency] and they on monday would just drop in into opds[even more so in ophthal since emergency cases r too less] causing the mad rush.

p.s-
Luckily for interns work is to just do LS and measure iop using tonometry

lady wolverine

just more days am out of this department...no more casts,night duties,pulling etc.
Never enjoyed ortho and wont be taking it as my pg.

watched Boondock saints-very stylishly filmed movie with good storyline...do watch it if u r a fan of such movies[like man on fire,usual suspects]

today had been my last OT[major postings] and was feeling all nostalgic...if i dont take a surgical field it will be last time ever i will wear a OT dress....

my personal[private] picture blog is now 165 posts old and it feels so good to see my yr old snaps....

p.s-
She-wolverine-snap taken by my co-intern after a k-wire fixation to a lady...

Quote of the week...

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble-

Agatha Christie 

in boys club

after ladies club its time to be in a boys club..i mean after obg its time for ortho postings...its been 2 days since it has started and till now[as expected] havent come across a single female[any age,height or weight!] in the department[not considering sisters and ayas]....

even the cases i come across are so monotonous...either fracture/rta[rd traffic accident] or some chronic pain case...and now itself i have realised this subj is not my cup of tea[as pg] and hoping to finish it as soon as possible and move on with my other postings.

p.s-

1-a thief when caught red handed and tried to escape fell from a roof top and unfortunately landed up in our department[me on duty] yesterday with 3 broken bones.!!

2-i really miss those cute babies[and babes] in obg!!:(

3-thanks Saranya for the award!:))

medical joke of the day

medical joke of the day-

according to B &L surgery text "anterior hypospadias are surgically corrected only for cosmetic reasons"!!;)

what people say

Patients to male interns-doctre

Same patients to female interns-sister,aunty....lol[which obviously pisses them off so badly]

i so pity my female collagues...lol:P

my name is...

While working in wards[obg] i come across many people with so weird funny names...like this one lady whose name was "Akkamahadevi"...looks like her parents were too impressed with the goddess and wants to  recite it their whole life.Likewise i have seen many couples where husb's and wife's names sound so similar like Gangappa/gangamma,manjunath/manjula,Mangappa/mangamma etc....dont know whether they married for their names or changed it after marriage....

p.s-

my close friend has contracted swine flu while he was on duty...and luckily has managed to get 10 days leave with attn[that too in med]....everytime i mess him he tells me that he is fine and enjoying his life like never before...lucky dog!!

lateral thinking

uses of IV[intraveneous] fluids....

1-N.S-use it for face/hand washing in case ur duty room water supply is cut[like today]

2-D.N.S-cold it and use it as drinking water.

3-as iv fluids.....

p.s-

1-my duty room water supply sucks....while brushing my teeth today had to run for water and fially used ns which my friend had kept in the room...

2-some quite pretty mallu sisters r there in my wards[ppc]......some soothers for my eye balls!!..:D.

happy diwali:)

When i was a child,i spoke as a child,

i understood as a child,I thought as a child

But when i became a man, i threw chidhish things away -

KannadigariGAY :)

Full vodhi.. Yenjoy madi.

The recent High Court ruling on Gays has created quite a stir in
Karnataka and has made the average kannadiga take a re-look at his
daily life.

The native Kannadiga family man wakes up in the morning (belaGAY) and
discovers that his whole family could be GAY.

His father is heard telling his mother : maganGAY, magalGAY, soseGAY.

His wife says appanGAY, ammanGAY, gandanGAY...... and she loves
malliGAY.

He gets ready for breakfast........ thindyGAY. here the talk is about
nanGay, ninGay .

His favorite home-made sweet dish is holGay.

At work, they talk about : YaarGAY,AvaruGAY, IvaruGAY, hinGAY, hanGAY,
elliGAY, alliGAY, bossGAY, secretaryGAY.

At his children's school, it is TeachersGAY, StudentsGAY, puneGAY and so
on.

For entertainment, he goes cinemaGAY

The Judiciary and Police are no different. It is JugdeGAY, PoliceGAY,
KalruGAY and so on.

Even the non-living things are GAY inclined. The Kannadiga says
busGAY, trainGAY, flightGAY.........

Finally, at the end of the day, he heads back home..........maneGAY.

And what does he find on the way.......... the road is lined with
sampiGAY trees.

And deep into the night, his wife tells him methGAY.

Animal bite!

A 24 year old man comes to opd and says that he has an wound on his right index finger and needs our immediate attention....when i further enquired about it he said with some hesitation "i was bitten by my 23 yr old friend".Such cases[any bite] usually needs to be done MLC[medicolegal case]here and when i told him about his situation he just disappeared from there and never came back.

p.s-marathon duty coming up...from sunday morning till tuesday afternoon!:([2 back to back duties]

Picture of the day

everymorning when i go to fetch the milk this particular street dog greets me with his tm "namah"....looks like someone is forcing it to be a bakta...lol

It Pays to Remember Names and Faces

Two men approached each other on the street with a look of
recognition in their eyes. One said to the other, "Now wait a
minute, don't tell me, I know I know you, but I'm not sure of
where we met. Let me see if I can think of your name. I've got
it! We met in Miami Beach two years ago."
"No, I've never been to Miami Beach."
"Hold it, don't tell me—oh, yes, it was on the boardwalk
of Atlantic City that we met."
"Sorry, I've never visited Atlantic City."
"I've got it now! Chicago in 1953!"
"Nope, I was not in Chicago in 1953."
"Well, I know we've met, where do I know you from?"
"Idiot! I'm your brother!!"
