Attachment, Final Days

You're late again, I see.

Yeah, I tend to get a little negligent when it comes to blogging at times.

So, the final days of the attachment... Well, we were running short on things to see and do in the hospital.

Last Tuesday was free observation, and a Colorectal Surgery Recovery programme, designed to help patients who are about to undergo operations know of the post-op risks and what is to be done. They even included a survivor of colorectal cancer to give a little talk. A pity that of all the patients about to undergo the op, only one had family free enough to turn up.

Wednesday was another ward round, followed up by occupational therapy. That's where they help patients with physical abilities attempt to get as independent as possible so they can live on after the op with minimal difficulty. Examples include teaching the patient how to get from the bed to the wheelchair while exerting minimal stress on the affected area.

...Another brief post. Guess having an attachment extending past a week when you're not a medical student yet can be a bit too long.

True.
