Hot and cold

burn 

I was on call on Sunday. I didn't know the MRR2 kepong flyover was officially closed on Saturday. I only knew about it after reading the sunday paper ! Haks.. Alamak.. going tomorrow to work will be hell. 3 months man.. 3 months.. and before this i was boasting how comfortable my journey to the hospital was..

Yesterday's call was not bad. 2 major cases was cancelled as the surgeons did not see the urgency of pushing it on a weekend. Therefore i was left with minor cases to do.. appendicectomy , plating. and i may have created history in Selayang by doing the burn case at night !In the mean time missing the event of the year.. JUARA LAGU !!! But after seeing her , i guess she had to be done as she had to wait for 3 days as more urgent cases needed to be done ; sidelining her.

It was bad. The19 year old had a total of 37% of her body burnt. Apparently she she accidentally poured petrol while burning rubbish. The wind blew and the fire caught her.. reaLLY BAD. The right side of her trunk had significantly deep burn . Luckily her face was spared , making it me easy to intubate and low risk of difficult intubation. They were debriding her and my god , what was left of the skin was.. hmmm.. macamana nak cakap eks.. the whitish skin looks like the cow after the skin is peeled off.

Managed to extubate her well. She was in a lot of pain. I pitied her , Dunno whether the morphine i gave her intra operatively was adequate. We gave her PCAM ( Patient controlled Analgesia ; Morphine ) but i don't think it will be adequate . You can know that she is in deep pain as she refused to talk but just quitely ..crying..and crying..

Nauzubillah.. very scary sight ooh..
