imagine the pain

life this week is exciting as hell!

imagine: 3 emergency cases in just mere 2 days. and i get to send one of the patient, who unfortunately collapsed due to his stupidity (drug abuse), to CGH. and i got to see a live urinary catherisation! they actually inserted a tube, which is about 20cm long and a thickness of a finger, into the urethra. you know? the hole which your urine is passed out? yes, INTO THE HOLE.
imagine the PAIN.
moral of the story: do not do drugs. and never piss medics off.

there were 2 more e-cases; heat exhaustion and chronic back sprain.
it's really exciting to see real-life incidents like such. and we actually get to practice what we've learnt in bmc and finally understand the power of those knowledge.

i know it's not right for me to say this, but hopefully there are more e-cases to come!
