review surgeryy...~~

well,i like how the title sounds..ahaks!inspired by today's class actually. We had PH n MBM review surgery class today..PH was so helpful i would say coz i haven't started my review at all so having the class just now of course kinda giving me a brief picture on wut i have to revise which basically everything?For MBM,nothing much really but still it was a good reminder.

But earlier in the morning, we had our first hospital visit. Sooo darn grateful i got mine in QMC!spesifically in respiratory unit.Our tutor which is Dr Simon just gave a briefing of hosp etiquette and what is it like in hospital.Then we also got to interview patient in ward D57. i partnered with anis we interviewd, no chatted with a 63 yr old man Richard. He was so nice and friendly,was so fun chatting with him. Brief of his history:
-living alone with wife, have 1 daughter who works as embroidery designer
-retired (b4 diz worked as technology technician)
-got chest pain n breathlessness started around 40 months ago
-thought it was a normal chest pain due to healthy lifestyle,normal cholesterol level,b.p etc
-admitted to hosp but then released
-still active playing table tennis in tournament n all
-then got breathlessnes again + indigestion + cushing pain on chest till both arm
-angina!
-now been admitted 4 nearly 2 weeks waiting to be transfered 2 city hosp
-doesn't like hosp food(who does???)

alot more actually but that's the important part i suppose^^
few learning outcomes:
-symptoms for an illness might varies in different person
-talk more!get interview structured..dnt just jump frm one thing 2 another..
