Internals!

so soon? thats what i feel whenever some test/exam comes up! but these internals do really come very frequently in the final year, what with internals in all the postings you attend and theory as well. well, obg internals fast approaching, am trying to fast reading! still have quite a bit to read.

skin postings are still going on(no internals in this one posting,thankfully), get over this saturday.we saw a case of pemphigus yesterday and a case of hansen`s today.
lucky the patient was so co-operative today, imagine 30 odd "doctors" examining your hypoaesthetic patch, palpating all the nerves that can be palpated superficially(half of them tender for him), each one asking the same questions, ....

found an interesting and funny image!

Good luck with the internals!

I saw one guy with pemphigus. Foliaceous, I think it was. It was badly infected and the stink was unbearable. Pretty horrible.

@brocas yes,we are the "doctors" ;-)

@ adorable pancreas thank you. the case we saw was pemphigus vulgaris.
the infected cases do stink horribly, this hansens disease guy had an abscess on the palm-lower forearm and it was stinking quite badly too.

That`s the postings i have right now, i am supposed to have anyway, but as the PGs have their exams going on, i don`t think it will start until friday atleast(more likely monday as thursday and saturday are holidays). that reminds me, saturday is the d-day,elections, its the first time i will be voting! The boy in the photo(photo is not mine, though i suffer from the same condition) has a skin disease called acne vulgaris . i have been suffering from this condition since 6-7 years, with exacerbations and (not exactly) remissions. i have been put on isotretinoin treatment since almost 2 months now and the pimples have cleared up(at long last!!!!!). its a 3 month course and lets see how long this remission lasts! The drug itself is a retinoid(a vit a analogue), has a page full of side effects! is prescribed only as a last resort in cases untreatable by other drugs and means(like mine).
