Time walks by so fast and apparently I have done my internship as a co-ass for almost 7 months. I have passed surgery, dermatology and venereology, anesthesiology, obstetric and gynaecology, pharmacy, and the last radiology department. Then here I am in my lovely hometown, Makassar City, for 2 weeks ahead to spend my holiday. Yapp, we get 2 weeks holiday during 1.5 years of our internship. Just a short tiny break that maybe we should call it "pseudoholiday" =P
There are still so many departments that I have to pass after this holiday and the next one is internal medicine department. However, I enjoy my life as an intern so much. I think it is much better than facing all the textbooks and handouts everyday. Although it seems to be so tiring sometimes (especially after doing the night shift without sleeping at all and still have to study for exam), but facing patient face to face and working as a doctor is such a wonderful experience and chance that God has given to me. I hope I will still feel this way (or better) for the rest of my internship period and even more until the rest of my life. Amen... =)
Writing down here in my culinary and traveling blog maybe a lil bit not appropriate to talk about my internship story but if you have good stories, so why don't you share? =)
Surgery department is my first lab as an intern. It was quite shocking because the schedule is so full. The lessons are also so variable since it consists of 9 sub-departments. But here it is, in this department, for the first time I did the real wound suturing. It was a breath taking event when I first came to emergency room (E.R.) for doing my first E.R. shift on that beautiful morning. Then suddenly when I met my friend that had done the shift on the night before, he asked me to enter the minor operation room and do the suturing. What?!?! I just came and I directly have to suture?!? Furthermore, the person that I need to suture is a long-haired guy with a gangster face x__x Thankfully I and my friends could pass it well =) the other story from surgery department is when I met a 5 years old boy with cancer in his brain. The cancer decreased his consciousness, so that he only could see with blank stares and could not talk anymore. I still remember that night when I sat there with his mom and listen her sharing their beautiful moments together until she couldn't resist to cry. Another unforgettable moment when one of pediatric surgery resident allowed me to cut hernial sac during my night shift at operation room, wohoo! =D
Anesthesiology made another great experience. Involved in preoperative examination, anesthetized the patient, woke them up, until followed up their recovery makes me know further about the patient anxiety, hope, and feeling about their surgery treatment. I also learn to do the intensive care at ICU, such as doing the suction in the appropriate way or even communicate with body language to patient who had run tracheostomy =P Story from rescucitation room (RES) is amazing too. CPR and defibrillation always make us looks like the real doctors, lol.. But seeing the patient passed away while their family standing besides and crying out was not a good moment. However it keeps remind me that Lord Jesus is still the real Doctor above all the doctors in this world and He takes control above all.
Obstetric and gynaecology gave us a bunch of stories to tell. But one thing for sure, take this note "labor pain is super duper painful so love your mother because delivering you to this world is just like an intersection between her life and death". There are unforgettable stories too here. I met a lovely mother (keep worrying about her baby condition and asked me a lot of things about how would the labor and delivery happen, yet thank me so much and ask me to come after she delivers the baby), funky mother (using piercing and telling her love story), fierce mother (yelling out loud during the night that she wanted to poop instead of her laboring pain), and so many more. Paradoxically, in this department I also met women who had late stadium cancer, must loss her baby, and many others sad condition.
Dermatology and venerology, pharmacy, and radiology have their own story too. But I think this post is quite long already so I need to end up here. I hope the next departments will give me a bunch of great experience and build me to be a great Christian Doctor in the future, amen =) (please say amen too =P)
Since I am in my hometown now, I remember about my tumblr which I have before I started to make this blog. I already wrote down some of my culinary experiences in Makassar there. Probably I wanna share them here soon =) please enjoy ^^
