From now on I shall call you PKV.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the stories. <br />They are all one hundred percent true.<br /><br />When you say "are all docs like this" what exactly do you mean?!!!<br /><br />Very interested to hear your interpretations!<br /><br />And yes. Sometimes we do send terminal cancer cases home...but then it's on mist morphine so that they can die peacefully at home, surrounded by their loved ones instead of in the awful hospital!<br /><br />I work in the front room (casualty and trauma) departments so once I've made a diagnosis and stabilised the patients I send them on to the other doctors at the back of the hospital in the wards ( either the surgeons, medics etc...)<br /><br />Hope to catch you back here!<br /><br /><br />Femail doc: It most definitely was not in my contract. If it was, perhaps I would have reconsidered! Nobody prepares you for life in the state sector. As a student you kind of have an inclination but the full force of the horror only hits you when you start working!<br /><br />Take care!Dr S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17841252320450369002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-34632573220444118672009-09-02T02:43:39.489+02:002009-09-02T02:43:39.489+02:00Good lord woman, was that in your contract?

Dr.S... why not?? I thought on Deluded'...hmmm... <i>Dr.S</i>... why not?? I thought on Deluded's blog, so dropped by... Gooood I did!! Seriously??!! Are all Docs like this?? Or at least all the one's I know ARE!! Do you guys manage to get a terminal cancer patient (metaphorically) walking out of your clinics like a 6-year old kid?? I'd love to see such a thing!! ;)<br /><br />And I totally agree Docs can have a larger than Holly experience!! I mean all you need to be is a little ignorant and then have a blast doing your job!! I'll keep dropping by... Wonder what it is that Docs go through to be the way they are, but its fun to hear their verdict on any damn thing on this planet!! :D<br /><br />Later gater, see you when I see you... :DPranav Kumar Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737070061768735375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-43012365418244706912009-08-28T12:05:33.329+02:002009-08-28T12:05:33.329+02:00Ketan: We have the highest rate of Tuberculosis in...Ketan: We have the highest rate of Tuberculosis in THE WORLD.<br /><br />Despite having good nutrition, wearing masks and taking all the possible protection we can muster, it is impossible for us to escape the TB bacillus. I'd say out of all the patients I've seen in the last two months, 80 percent of them have had TB, have TB currently and have concommitant HIV.<br /><br />We are exposed to it in an excessive way. And our hospitals do not have the facilities to isolate patients suspected of having TB, or even those who are diagnosed with it.<br /><br />Three of my close medical friends have developed pulmonary TB. They were all healthy individuals<br /><br />My colleague working at another hospital contracted Multiple Drug Resistant TB and ended up having to have a lobectomy.<br /><br />My medical school colleague developed TB meningitis, and died in her final year of medschool!<br /><br />They say that everyone living in the western cape has been exposed to TB, which is why we never do mantoux's on anyone over ten, as it is then a pointless test.<br /><br /><br />Whenever I start showing symptoms of some LRTI I immediately go and have a chest x-ray done.<br /><br />I'm totally paranoid about it!<br /><br /><br />Boefie: "there's no business like show business" - true, especially when you do it babe!<br /><br />Stupidosaur: Ha ha haaaaaaaaaa! Shit after shit! Love it.<br />I'm working on getting my husband to star in some hollywood blockbuster, except that - if he then becomes famous all sorts of little actresses will then want to get their paws on him and then I'll have to kill them.<br /><br />Deluded: he was not a student. He did say that he was a Professor of Music at the University of Cape Town. But somehow, I didn't believe him.Dr S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17841252320450369002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-74493260180453999982009-08-26T03:38:00.060+02:002009-08-26T03:38:00.060+02:00No wonder, I suffer from an insurmountable stage f...No wonder, I suffer from an insurmountable stage fright--both theatrical and worldly.<br /><br />Why don't you employ an equally psyched <b>v</b>ooooman as a decoy to protect yourself from those vile vermins?<br /><br />If you don't starve yourself and suffer from protein deficiency in the process, I don't think TB bacillus should actually be able to infect you. Also, most of the pathogens entering through the respiratory tract have a predilection for cooler nares. Shivering could cause you to lose glucose faster (subsequent protein breakdown) and also increase your blood costisol (further suppressing of cell-mediated immunity). So, not sure if keeping that window open was such a good idea, afterall! ;) I'd love to know what you think on this. You don't keep the psyched patients restrained? Is it illegal to restrain them? Why're their so many psychosis patients around in your hospital, seriously curious?<br /><br />Interesting post, again!<br /><br />And that pic was scary!Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-89079085979412876962009-08-25T08:58:04.614+02:002009-08-25T08:58:04.614+02:00There's no business like show business...There's no business like show business...Boefie Bronkhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179753100428102919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-16408337167880404862009-08-25T08:39:57.700+02:002009-08-25T08:39:57.700+02:00oh.
