Looks like I"m falling back into my poor blogging habits... Gotta get on top of that.
So I"ve just started paediatrics.
First day down and I"m quite liking the fact that paediatrics is so organised.
Surgery was a poorly organised and poorly maintained rotation in my opinion. Sure, the coordinator is very nice, but as stated by another surgeon "JW needs to learn to email and stop living in the 70s".
We"ve got plenty of teaching sessions in paediatrics and the first day was buffed with introduction to history taking and examination in the paediatric patient, as well as community health. Both lectures were quite interesting and very relevant.
Anyway, I should probably go get ready. I don"t want to be late on my second day!

It"s been a long day
Ah, Matchbox Twenty...
Where was I?
Oh yes, blogging. Just to switch things up, lets Tarantino this a bit. I"m going to start with the end of this story:
I had a nap. This morning. Before lunch.
Now lets flash back to the beginning:
-fzztwhirkdsafh;gssssssooooooooooooooooo-
Waking up at while its dark is not good.
Ward rounds was uneventful, though there were some quite interesting patients (with one a possible CoC subject!), the fact that it was bloody early kind of toned down my interest.
We then attended a presentation by our very own registrar, who was amusingly anxious about the whole thing, though us students didn"t really mind, we were kind of more interested in the breakfast that was provided...
A very impressive breakfast spread it was, with sweet pastries, mini quiches, a large variety of fruits and what I"m going to call "slices of closed pizza" (otherwise known as toasted focaccia).
Afterwards I went to have a chat with one of the interesting patients, taking a history and performing a basic physical examination of all systems. As a random point of interest which came up during our conversation, we found out (despite the over 40 year difference in ages as well as residence in different states) that we had previously shared the same GP! Small world indeed...
Such a long day, in fact, I"m quite tired...
