QUESTION-5:-
Testing scholarship competency in
logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month.
ANSWER-5:-
A week ago was the first time I entered into the hospital.I felt like a new child in the block.I got a case in intensive care unit on the first day.That was my first time entering into some strictly permitted area like intensive care unit.I was a bit exited because I was doing it for the first time and bit nervous as well do be honest.That was the first time I was talking to patient,the care takers and taking the history was a complete new experience.
Admist the pandemic and talking necessary precautions General medicne department staff and my seniors helped a lot how to interact with patients and their care takers what to ask and what not to ask how to approach a patient what to examine and what not to and observe what my fellow seniors are injecting to the patient and what all the procedures are to be followed.I felt it for the first time how it feels to play a doctor.
Overall I had a really great experience in the last month especially last week I learnt a lot more than I expected.
