Surgery

Another department over with.

5 down, 1 more to go.

The last 4 months passed by very quickly that I didn't even realize the time flying by.
Surgery was an interesting experience.

It was a very 'teaching' department.

Weekly Surgical department activities.

Monday : Houseman teaching.

Tuesday : Lunch and drug talk

Wednesday : Mortality and Morbidity

Thurs : Pre op assessment and sometimes MO teaching

Friday : Breakfast + journal club/MO teaching/grandward rounds/department meeting

Everyone who goes through Surgery will also go through the suturing workshop where the MOs specialists and even consultants teach housemen how to suture properly. There aren't many places that the HOD teaches Housemen how to suture, right?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's a very activity oriented department.

Previously they have had family days and other outdoor activities but then I didn't have the chance for those (came in at the wrong time).

I did have fun in the department, although there were some things that I didn't like about it..as I said before, colleagues are the most important thing in making your working life fun.

I will be joining Anaesth next Monday. I don't really know what to look forward too, all I know is that it is going to be cold (because I think we will be in the OT most of the time). Time to dig out all my long sleeves..
