No Room for Boredom
We're in bedside care (NS4, KDHI) for eight hours, thrice a week. [Taking vital signs, bedside care, nursing care, etc]. That's an awfully long time to work on two or three patients. So you can either be bored.
Tuesday. As I scanned my patients charts, I found out that one of my patients will undergo a close tube thoracentesis. It's a minor operation. On his chest Xray, a homogenous density is noted in his left lower hemithorax with meniscus obliterating the hemidiaphragm and cardiac border. It means, pleural fluid noted on his left lung. Therefore, it should be drained. Gets the pic? Hehehh.
I don't have enough information about thoracentesis, of equipments, procedures, of what to do. Informations that I haven't read and heard of. Those are those times when I found myself at the bottom of the ladder. I'm very nervous and my palms were starting to get sweaty.
I guess something was pulling me from ward to the operating room -err- emergency room. Look, I was assign in the male ward then all of the sudden, I'm already in the emergency room. I learned, it is necessary to make yourself available. Oftentimes, you have to be flexible and prepared to change directions quickly. It was just recently that I assisted the patient for diagnostic nasal endoscopy. I knew if I didn't take the opportunity, I would always wonder what would have been. Besides, there will be mentors to help you along the way.
Asssiting for an operation is very challenging. I'm in fact experiencing difficulties. But I'm still assisting it quite well, I suppose. You can only imagine how nurses offer a lot of comfort to the patient who is about to undergo major event in his life no matter how simple the procedure.
I enjoy the adventure and lesson that day brings. It was a so-good-liaison. The doctor discussed while doing the operation- about the anatomy and physiology of the case, the procedure, do's and dont's in assisting the patient undergoing thoracentesis. Maybe it is his ability to build consensus or a desire to share what he have learned. Thanks Doc G.

muntik na akong di nakapasok sa Educ9 class ko kahapon dahil sa strict implementation ng NO ID NO ENTRY policy ng skul. naiwan ko sa bahay ang ID ko .. waaaaa! nakapagtataka dahil biglaan yata. ewan ko kung bakit baka marshall law na. o dahil sa malapit na ang election... heheh.. malayo pa bahay namin at ilang minuto na lang ang nalalabi at start na ng klase. kaya di ko mababalikan sa bahay yung id ko.. ayaw ko naman umabsent dahil sa once a week lang ang Educ 9 at baka i announce na kung ilan ang nakuha naming score sa nakaraang midterm exam. sigurado naman akong nakapasa dun. hehe.. pero gusto kong malaman kung ilan nakuha ko.. kaya nag isip ako kung paano makakalusot..
a. Mag over the bakod. Pero di ko yata kaya kasi tinaasan na ang pader. mga 30 feet na yata sa tansya ko. e 2o feet lang kaya ko. di kaya ng energy.
b. Magmadaling pumasok. Di pa rin kaya dahil limang tao ang nasa gate. may mga tauhan pa ng airforce, student vanguards at and dalawang security guard.
c.
d..
e..

richard: Buwan na naman ng mga puso. At tiyak, magdidiwang na naman ang mga motel niyan dahil lalakas ang kanilang kita sa panahong ito. Nais ko lang ipaalam sa mga bumabasa ng blog na ito na hindi ko ipino-promote dito ang sex... dapat safe sex. At nais ko rin ipabatid sa lahat ng tao na ang Buwan o Araw ng mga Puso ay hindi inalaan para sa mga mag-aasawa o mag-sosyota lamang. Ito ay para sa lahat. Hanggat tao ka pa rin at may tumitibok diyan sa dibdib mo, ito ay para sa'yo...
