my peads rotation

well.this week is my final weeks in peads department. The last thing on my mind right now were to get my clerking assignment done before week end.

Like the previous post that I had mention, clerking in peads is like a whole new different thing from my other rotation before. Come to think about it, it does become a challenge esp to student whom is not really familiar with peads clerking system. I mean like, if you were to stay in Medical, or Surgical, you can simply obtain all the information required from the pt him/herself. But since that working in peads would simply means that you are dealing with newborn, infants, and children whom can barely speak, how are you going to obtain the information. Not to mention all the movement, and crying during the physical examination.

1 thing that i also find out during my peads posting were, taking blood sample be it routine check for FBC to obtaining sample for Blood C&S was hell of a job in peads.

Ouh ya, before I forgot, quick update about what happen when I am at work today. Today is my second day working in SCN and NICU / PICU. Some hospital call it Neonatal but there are some called it as peads ICU. It was an eye opener of course but I regret not being able to see how phototherapy is done. I know the fact that I wont be dealing with this cases when I enter my temp placement or even permanent placement, but at least if I got the chance to watch how the procedure is done, it would be beneficial since I can tell others or better still that others wont tell me the story as the other way around. Or maybe I could share my experience to my patients if happen that I have to work in Health Clinic.

Well, guess that was enough for today. Anyway, my roomate were not here since he had to do his district posting for about a month. Means I can have the room all by myself lah...Muahaha...

Will update this experience later. (As this would be among the last post that I will put up here before finishing my study)
