terribly amused
i was really amused today, maybe because i was reminded of the good old days and a lot of our bloopers in med school.
so, i was doing rounds in the Pediatric ICU together with our junior (4th yr) and senior (post-grad) interns. the case is that of a 6/F who was admitted due to pneumonia. the patient has a congenital heart disease and even though the case isn't that toxic, she was in the ICU for the next 24hrs.
we were talking about physical findings suggestive of CHD and to demonstrate, i lent them my stet so they could appreciate the murmur better. here's how the convo went:
me: so, did you guys heard her murmur? in what location and what chamber/valve is involved?
ji/si; choruses of "yes maam!"
ji1: *raises hand*
junior resident1: yes, ji *****
ji1: it's on the 4th - 5th intercostal space left parasternal border, involving the ventricular chambers
junior resident2: good, what is the type of murmur and the grading, radiating or non - radiating?
ji2: *raises hand*
me: yes, ji ****
ji2: it's a grade 4/6 non-radiating HOLISTIC murmur...
co-ji/si: *sniggers*
ji3: HOLOCYSTIC!
me/residents: *sweat drops*
senior resident: uhm, it's HOLOSYSTOLIC guys.
Ah, the good old days when we were allowed to be idiots once in a while. My batchmates will surely find this amusing tomorrow. We will probably reminisce all those bloopers and stories we experienced while on clinical rotation.
