It is hard to describe, but when you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll know what I mean.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been covering the Dengue\/Haemato\/Nephro wards known as G3 these past few days. Any mortality due to dengue is a huge deal, so everyone is anal about it. TDS rounds actually do mean TDS rounds, and post bolus review are done on time! I\u2019ve learnt quite a bit during my stint here, but they weren\u2019t all boring medical management. There were some exciting moments too. Here are some epic moments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Boss, the patient, 32 year old female, DF day 4 in febrile phase is currently undergoing her menses, day 2, claims heavy flow, current HB 10.5 perhaps I can do a GXM and hold for 1 pint of whole blood?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoe, give her some Provera and take a chill pill la dei, no need GXM all.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another case where there was a patient who has had a history of his IJC bleeding throughout the day finally got his IJC changed. However, the bleed at the new site restarted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, the new IJC site we added yesterday is bleeding. We\u2019ve already compressed with some adrenaline, how boss?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not gonna change his IJC on a weekend, just continue compression.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another case where a dengue patient is leaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh Hell No, he is leaking! HOUSEMEN, DON\u2019T JUST STAND THERE, THERE\u2019S A PATIENT HERE LEAKING, GET YOUR BUTTS HERE AND BRING A BUCKET\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a case where I\u2019ve given a patient some IV Nexium; Presenting the case in the morning;<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, 42 year old female k\/c\/o HPT\/DM being treated for DF d6, early defervescence w\/ warning signs, started her on some IV metoclopramide for her vomiting and some IV Nexium for\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWHAAAAAAAAT! Karthik, you don\u2019t have to give them the BEST that we have, if all you jokers keep prescribing esomeprazole for everything, it\u2019s gonna be Nil in HTAR just like IV Augmentin! Give Zantac!\u201d<\/p>\n
Later that evening the specialist changed it back to Nexium..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are more cases like this, but the reaction of MO\u2019s and Specialists at times is quite funny It is hard to describe, but when you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll know what I mean.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anyways, enough of that, back to consuming more beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
