Medicine postings!

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...

From no internals to surprise internals!

last week, we were told we would have no internals at the end of postings in obg and instead we would be evaluated topic wise, we would be given a topic to prepare for, the previous day, and questions would be asked on the same and marks given according to the overall performance in several topics. this happened on last saturday and this monday. the rest of the days, our profs, asst. profs, lecturers were all busy and today this happened: "oh, you have internals today right?", asked the person who had told us we would not be having internals, at 10:30 in the morning. i was thinking- NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, we dont. but nothing came out of my mouth, not from the others` either.... we did present 2 cases. my internals were okay, except for 2 silly mistakes, one because of a slip of tongue..... i have been in an irritable mood ever since. nothing much to write about, except more internals- we have surgey theory on friday. and paediatrics postings begin from monday, hello kids!
