Urology rotation

so today is the start of the second block for the 3rd years. I am thus no longer in CUH poking around in the neurology team, bleeping people and saying hi to nurses to ask for patients. I also will no longer be able to wake up half an hour before 9 to get ready because the hospital is only 5 minutes away from my house :'(

today I start in the Bons. It's a private hospital, where the parking lot is always packed with expensive cars. It's run by nuns - thus it's full with them, and little statues and pictures of their version of Jesus and Virgin Mary are everywhere.

even though I resent the fact that I'm attached to the urology team (who wouldn't resent staring at balls, penises and vajayjays everyday?), things are way more organized in the Bons, the doctors actually have time to see you, and there are regular consultant-delivered tutorials, which is exciting (but also kinda scary).

so this morning I saw a testicular mass being removed, and also a frenulectomy. the surgeon was saying how the lad really should've been circumcised due to things that I can't be bothered to write here, but he refused it because of some things he read off the net. hah. WUSS. penat je hensem.

well.

here's to hoping I won't be asked to do any physical examination or procedures involving the genitalia -


*sigh.

macam impossible je kan?


Atiqah
p.s. today marked the first day I wore a pair of srubs - selesa gila weh. sungguh tempted untuk curi sepasang.
