Happy day 2.0

Okay I don’t think the title is appropriate for today’s entry. It should probably be “Embrassing life of Madihah Ismail 5.2”.

Since it’s the first day after a long weekend, the patient flow was a thousand times more than any other day - especially here in surgery department. (Even on days where there is a strike/the College was empty, this department is never void of patients so yeah)

In the morning everything was fine, did another case of alveoloplasty. I took the lead, having Gizelle as my partner and things went smoothly alhamdulillah. Giving incision with the blade isn’t as scary as I thought, and my continuous interrupted suture looked pretty good (perasan hahaha but really tho).

Then I went for a quick lunch and solat, got a case immediately once I came back to department. Extraction of 26,27,28 and 38 - all decayed and firm. I was pretty pumped up since I’ve never extracted firm 8s before (8s are the wisdom teeth, only interns and postgraduates are allowed to attend such cases).

I took a pretty long time to get it done - LA injection for upper jaw, elevate gums, extract 3 teeth, LA injection for lower jaw, elevate gums, extract the remaining one tooth, file the bone (bone rongeur was not available at that time, so I had to take longer), curettage, copious irrigation and then suturing.

At the time of suturing, I lost my focus. My eyes are looking elsewhere and the needle was going elsewhere, and then that familiar dizziness hits my head, and then *blackout* haha

I managed to sit down before I pass out though. It was embarrassing yet funny at the sims time I don’t know haha. My patient laughed 😂 he’s really nice though, very cooperative haha he even told my friend to tell me “Aram ide, madam” - which means, stay calm, which I’ve repeatedly told him 😂😂

So yeah as always for syncopal attack - glucose water, head down legs up, loosen the clothes. I still had my bloody gloves and drapes all over me 😂

Bila dah settle semua tu, I overheard Nikhil Sir said “....but she did the extractions successfully.”

And heard “Madihah” being mentioned a few times among the staffs hahaha malu deknon adoii

And well, my pg crush was busy with the OPD, I passed out in a different cubicle but they brought me to the chair next to the OPD cubicle. But he was really busy (like I said, the Patient flow was mad today). Bila dah okay tu I was getting ready to go back (got permission to leave early) and then he was like

“You’re leaving?”
Yes, sir
“Why? What happened?”
I passed out while doing a case and Nikhil Sir allowed me to leave early
“Oh god that was you?? I thought it was a third year student or something. Okay then.”

Sampai hati dia taktau pun kita kat cubicle sebelah dia 😭😭😂

But well, it’s a good day. It’s good feeling being tired doing something you enjoy. Segan sikit nak gi clinic esok haha going to sleep already goodnight!
