第一次刷手
話說先前見習的兩個外科(Orth, NS),雖然很常進刀房看刀,但總是沒有特別的機會刷手上刀,看到同學們 po 板記述有關上刀的種種,甚至連學弟妹都有類似的經驗,回想自己只停留在奇美外科縫合訓練營和開小豬的實驗外科經驗,其實是有點小 depressed,但自己總安慰自己,「假如日後要走外科,要刷一輩子的手呢!」後來倒也沒那麼急著想刷手上 table 了。
To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.
Yesterday I had done a stupid thing that made me tossing and turning in bed.
A 40+ years old female had breast cancer over 11 o'clock of left breast and underwent partial mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection last Friday. A Penrose drain was placed at the medial incision site and the other drainage tube at the axillary incision site. I had scrubbed and joined that operation and I did know the plan about post-operative care.
或許這是一個慢慢會適應的過程,每到一個新的科別總是需要一段陣痛期,面對不熟悉的病患、不熟悉的疾病、不熟悉的學長姐和主治醫師,在對病房事務還沒建立起概念前,心裡真的很懷念 ICU 的人事物,每天早上從宿舍走向餐廳買早餐時,總會不自覺的向右望向 ICU 緊閉的大門。
