On ED rotation now...finally got to do suturing on a real person!!! As usual, I felt bad for the patient, but thanks for the sacrifice...god will bless you :P
6 weeks away from being an intern, I will have to admit that it is a bit late...ah well...Really grateful to the registrar, who waited for me to come out from another patient's cubicle and offered to let me do the suturing. Before we went in, he got a suture set and a tissue box for me to briefly practice the knots.
I was thinking if I should get consent from the patient...and my answer was hell no (dont lecture me on ethics...)...unless the patient really screamed refusing me doing it...
It was a 23 year old guy who accidentally lacerated his middle finger while fixing his mountain bike. There was a flap of flesh over the PIP joint, bleeding profusely. The registrar supervised me doing a ring block and then suturing.
I decided that it wasn't a good idea to tell the patient that "Hey, you are the first patient that I suture...but don't you worry coz I have good skills in sewing!" So I just did whatever I needed to. 3 stitches done, bleeding stopped. Amazing!!!
The patient took a photo of his wound and the stitches with his iPhone. I bet you it is on FB somewhere...haha!

A consultant...
A consultant is someone who only has to come to the ward once in a while to take the bradmas of private patients and then 顺便 does a brief wardround by saying hi to patients.
A consultant is someone who sits at the corner throughout the endoscopy list, playing Angry Birds on his iPhone/window shopping on eBay whilst the registrar is busy scoping. He then 拍拍屁股leaves at 4pm, whilst the registrar is still scoping the last patient.
A consultant is someone who accepts essentially any patients referred to him on phone, wrapped up nicely with a "gastro" story, without thinking much...whilst the registrar is frustrated, "Who said this patient comes under gastro? No one told me about it!"
