Acute Appendicitis. . Unwarranted Sick-Leave Certificate
April 9th Appendectomy performed successfully on my young patient, this p.m. No other noteworthy occurrence today. Booked-down a Caesarean Section - I shall be assisting Dr Nsisi tomorrow on this one. O.k, a confession. I was solicited for an unwarranted sick-leave paper by this pretty female patient of mine; a Banker. Not the least bit ill, she only needed the time-off to travel out of the country for a brief, personal business dealing. I obliged! April 8th A surgical incision through 7 layers of anterior abdominal wall, is what I shall be making on this young female patient tomorrow at Theatre,who suffers Acute Appendicitis. This would bring me into her abdominal cavity, where upon I shall begin the manoeuvre of removing her infected, troubling Appendix.
