I HAVE MANAGED TO FINISH AND SUBMIT MY STUPID INCIDENT REVIEW REFLECTIVE REPORT A FULL 9 DAYS BEFORE THE DEADLINE OMG.
how miraculous is this?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
this is actually the first time i would have done something and handed it in more than a day before the deadline!!! MORE THAN A WEEK BEFORE THE DEADLINE, IN FACT! even more miraculously, i was informed of the deadline a mere two days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
surely i deserve more than just a glass of champagne for one of the most heroic feats in my entire life?!?!?!?!?
(i know, my life sounds quite pathetic when i say something like that HAHAHAHAH)
-
anyway, on to other life-altering happenings...
- i assisted in the insertion of a central venous catheter yesterday!!! the reg used the ultrasound and inserted the needle and guidewire, and i did the dilation and inserted the catheter and sutured it (omg i need to relearn how to tie a surgeon's knot - which i realised is just a fancy way of tying a normal knot -_-)!!! first time suturing anything to something living!!!!! but this was after me tearing my sterile gown while trying to wear sterile gloves properly -_-
- i participated in a non-invasive ventilation (NIV) study day today - i thought it would be horribly boring but it wasn't! it was much better than expected! i think i can now give a short tutorial on the basics of CPAP and BIPAP! everything makes so much more sense now! (pearl: use CPAP for type 1 respiratory failure, BIPAP for type 2 respiratory failure!) also tried a CPAP facemask on - weird experience!
- ahem. I WILL ALSO BE SPENDING THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF MY WORKING LIFE IN DUNDEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope i get the rotation i want!!!!! (oncology, ITU, care of the elderly, GI medicine, surgery and GP - am only REALLY interested in oncology and ITU!!!)
i also need to stop 'reflecting' here - need to save it for my portfolio. barf.
OK PEEPS. LATERZ Y'ALL :D
