about time our medicine postings started, they did from this monday. already we have seen quite a few interesting cases, 2 pleural effusion cases, copd with cor pulmonale, anemia for evaluation. but the most interesting case is about a guy who has diffuse, dull aching, bilateral chest pain since 3 years and breathlessness and bilateral pedal edema since 1 month. he also has cough when he gets breathless, a/w scanty sputum! evening rise of temp. also since a month. to top it all, he says he has diarrhoea since 3 years-hard to believe when he says he dint take any real treatment for it. its a case referred to our hospital(victora) from jayadeva. obg internals was okay. couldnt blog because net connection was down for almost(or more than) a week, first time this has happened with bsnl broadband. at last, bangalore royal challengers won a rare game yesterday, the last 4 overs were scintillating to watch! 3 wins off 12 games, they have moved off the bottom of the table at long last! p.s: th...
first of all, belated wishes to all my colleagues- happy doctor`s day! i remembered something yesterday when i was looking at an aquarium.... i was in the 6th standard and very much wanted to have some pet(a dog was my demand) at home, my parents always used to object. on my birthday that year, my maternal uncle, knowing how badly i wanted to keep a pet at home, decided to `present` me with some aquarium fish. the problem was there was no aquarium at home! so i decided to use a large bottle as a temporary haven for these exotic looking fish. a fish bowl was ordered from a nearby pets and aquarium store! to my dismay, the fish started dying one by one, one every day. this happened on 3 successive days and there were only 2 left. i was heartbroken! i could not decipher the reason for the mysterious deaths of my for-some-time-beloved companions! i felt like crying! it was definitely not lack of food, i think i used to feed them excessively(could that be the reason?). it might have been to...
my recreational activities this week were related to jules verne..... i finished the e-book twenty thousand leagues under the sea on thursday. if i compare it with the other works of verne that i have read-journey to the centre of the earth, around the world in 80 days, this book was too lengthy, too many descriptions of the flora and fauna of the seas! it really gets boring at too many places..... but the story overall, the concept of a submarine, visiting the south pole, discovering the submerged atlantis, make for a worthwhile read. especially when you consider that all this was written way back in the 1800s.... the highlight of the book is the part where they get trapped while returning from the south pole and how Captain Nemo,`the emotionless` and the crew and passengers aboard the Nautilius handle the situation. fantastic read overall! the other activity realted to verne is :i watched the movie journey to the center of the earth on wednesday. i had read the book some 2 years ago,...
