besides keeping up to date with the latest season of scrubs (7), i have also revised seasons 1 and 2. well done. good effort.
and i have also started watching ER from its humble beginnings. i realised that i actually learn a lot more medicine/surgery watching ER than scrubs. scrubs is almost useless in terms of learning.
i find it funny though, how in ER, doctors wore protective eye gear in assessing a trauma patient who was not overtly exsanguinating, but failed to do the same during an emergency ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. 3 out of the 4 who was scrubbed for the operation did not wear glasses or protective eye wear. and the other one person was wearing her normal glasses. tsktsk. fail fail fail!
ok back to more revision... i am reading devitt and barker by the way, not just watching ER. good book. if u stumbled upon my blog or if u have always been a reader, i am gonna let u in to this little secret.. this book really helps exam prep, it puts everything into perspective. not that i do extremely well myself, but it helped me pass semester 9, hopefully it will help me pass my sem12! so yup. a little incentive for u.
another thing i've realised over the week, is that in each hospital, there is a unique team of surgeons. there's bound to be one surgeon who is notoriously snappy and impatient, who would bypass investigative imaging and wheel patients straight for exploratory laparotomies. from open to close in 10 minutes etc. and there is bound to be a guy who is patient and meticulous taking allllllllllllllllll the time in the world to perfect every aspect of patient management. and then all the other surgeons who aren't extreme just lie in the middle, constantly amused by the spectrum of "speed". then of cos there's the kind and gentle surgeon, and the aloof and much feared surgeons who throws retractors at the scrub nurses........ more on that next time!
