learning

one thing u need to master if u want to be a good doctor is to do a good episiotomy
and being good at reparing it
For those who didnt have a slighest idea what the heck is episiotomy...
it's a method of making an incision to the perineal area to assist delivery process...
Dalam bahasa melayu " memperbesarkan lubang untuk memudahkan proses pemberanakan"

During my stay in O&G.. I did a lot of this :)
heheheh... Some women begged me to do episiotomy to speed up the delivery proses.
Usually, in real situation - episiotmy was done without any anaesthesia
WHy? becoz during delivery, the ladies already in extreme pain..
So.. another small cut wont make any different....
But, if the mother insist on local anaesthesia.. we would surely give lor...

The cutting part is the easy part... repairing the episiotomy is the hard one...
I still remember my 1st episiotomy... took forever to finish stitching the cut!
But then.. after a while... pretty much getting used to it.
In a way, it's the best way to learn to stitch...
I think, if u are able to stitch episitomy perfectly...
u can stitch pretty anything.. :P

Now that I'm in ortho department
there's a lot of T&S procedure
T&S means toilet and suturing...
dalam kata lain... mencuci dan membersih..
so.. since I'm so used to "suturing" during o n g...
it made my life in o n g a lot easier :)
maybe I could be a surgeon one day :P
well.. maybe..

definitely maybe :)
