It's a normal morning during the holiday which I just laze around. I woke up early to go to the hospital again.
Sleepy as usual because I slept late last night.
We are supposed to go to the opthalmology department to learn something about the eyes. When we reached there, there was very very little people there. It's closed. To make things worse, there is only ONE patient in the opthalmology ward!!!So, we decided to turn back and go home. However, it was raining heavily.
We have no other place to go so we went to the medical ward. I was so excited my sleepiness went away when I saw a patient with very very prominent veins all over his trunk! SVC obstruction! Oh wow, I thought my medical knowledge left me. I m glad that they didnt.
Hmm,,there is an infectious disease specialist,a Chest Medical officer, internal medicine specialist and his medical officers and house officers there. They all have really different views on this patient who presented with an interesting history -- no symptoms at all except recent shortness of breath ,dry cough and runny nose! oh and he had a virchow's node (strong family hx of gastric ca btw)!
After all of them went off, I talked to the patient. He is a really really nice man. He seemed quite restless when the doctors' discussion went all over the place.
Oh well, I hope he gets well soon! The medical ward just never fail to excite me!
