4th Year, 5th Rotation = 3rd week - Urology

Urology week has just ended. It was enjoyable, I would say.. I was just hoping that I could spend more time in theatre. I only saw a prostectomy! I had to missed a nephrectomy and an orchidectomy for tutorial.. *sigh*

I'm starting Vascular surgery next week for only 3 days!! Then I have an exam on Wednesday.. Wish me luck~!

4th Year, 5th Rotation = ENT aka Otorhinolaryngology

Wow.. that is mouthful!
Anyway, I'm on my 2nd and last week of my ENT rotation here in Limerick (it's freaking cold here btw)...
How do I feel about this rotation? Hmm, I'm kinda enjoying it so far.. Apart from the fact that I have to see wax (oops, I mean cerumen) everyday.. =P
I guess this subject is important especially if you're going down the GP lane.. You'll be seeing ENT cases everyday in your practice, so a good knowledge base on ENT is going to be in handy..

Btw, I saw a tracheostomy tube being cleaned and changed last week.. not a pretty sight and definitely not a good experience for the patient..

And my first experience of a very rude patient in OPD.. How dare she, to be calling the sweetest and nicest nurse ever, a B*tch!!
