Mates, I'm back from my two weeks rural placement at Inverloch. Rural placement this year is much much better than last year. Staying in a 6 people cabin with chi hau and peter and get to know more about other friends. Nice beaches, Wilson Prom, Cape Paterson, GP visit and Hospital visit made my days in Inverloch.
I will briefly summarise my rural weeks as I'm damn sleepy now, can't wait to jump into my bed now as Melbourne is getting COLDER now!!!!
GP Visit: I have my own consultation room with all equipment like medical director. Felt like I were a real GP on that day. n_n
Hospital Visit: being allocated to pathology department, learning how to draw blood, bumping into a nurse doing an ECG on a female patient, getting scrub on and went into theater, helping the surgeon to cut the stitches during a femoral hernia removal surgery(did feel like junior intern) and learning hospital based first aid, mostly about how to use defibrillator. Ohya, sneaking into hospital pharmacy before heading back.
Indigenous day: Boring
Life- story: didn't manage to get a good elderly.....She was always rushing and gave some lame excuse to finish our conversation. Wasting my time to make the cute gift to her.....
Clinical skill Day: not really learn much as I alrdy knew injection, suturing and ECG...only plastering is the new skill to learn....
Dairy Farm Visit: quite interesting to see the milking process.
I drove to Wilson Prom and Cape Paterson during the weekend. Enjoying the pretty scenery at wilson prom but the journey took so long....will upload photos about rural when I have the motivation to transfer them from my camera.....I'm really a LAZY boy......x)
