Derm

Dermato posting..

Rumours in med fac are usually true unless proven otherwise.. Derm posting is strict man.. Everything arranged nice nice already and they put in systems to make sure we cannot zao4 un-noticed.. though there are still some leaks..

Anyway, real impressed with the current NHG paperless clinics.. Wa.. everything on computer, then the patient just use the same queue number to go see doctor, go treatment room, go billing counter etc.. But wonder what happens if there's a viral outbreak, i mean on the coms..

Spent one morning in the treatment room today. Though managed to see some stuff like cryotherapy, skin and nail biopsies.. but most of the time is spent slacking and reading cause got quite few patients. What to do, even the nurses can chit chat.. of course we got time also..

Was following a male nurse and one of the first cases was a suture take out.. He called the number (of course by the computer) and in came a lady with a sobbing young girl.

"Oh no.. poor thing gonna cry.." i thought

The nurse appeared to have handled many such cases and reassuringly said to the girl:" Come sit down.. don't worry hor.."

The mother brought the girl into the cubicle and the curtains were drawn.. Of course wj and me didn't dare to step in and observe and make the girl more afraid.. The nurse carried on his pacifying and told the girl to sit on the couch when the mother said:
"It's me lah... i'm the patient not her!"

Hai.. assumptions..
