Ordinary Out-patient Consultation Today

Nothing exceptional has occured on the job today.

I'm a little worried though, of a booked Para one patient in second trimester, on admission for Pregnancy Induced Hypertention. Seems to be a bit of a difficult case, with her legs so enlarged with fluid and her complaints of sudden, poor sight in the right eye...

New Look Blog

Hello people, This health blog, as slow-paced at it's been for a while now, has taken a whole new look - the "dynamic view" option from Google's blogger. I had to go with this option for the reason of the ability to access all the  new add-on features which I plan to utilize to enhance the blog in due course. Anyway, I'll be back to making entries from my scheduled clinical activities, soon.

Blog Neglect Blues... Herniorrhaphy That Went Like The Breeze.

Vanishing Testes... Uterine Evacuation

The point is both parents had known for years the condition and were hoping against all hope that one day the testes would appear, never once thinking to seek medical advice. The poor young chap would have to visit the Paediatrics Surgeon soon. I'm just back from the labour room where I had to evacuate the womb of this married lady who began to bleed just a week after finding out she was in early pregnancy; she being childless till date - she's had a couple of miscarriages in the recent past and a scan today proved once again the same matter of a miscarriage with some products of pregnancy retained, hence the needed evacuation. She'll need to see the Gynaecologist for a thorough check, the poor woman.
