A busy start to the week

Monday October 25th
The day started with a 2 hour meeting of all the senior staff to discuss issues at the hospital A lot of it is common to the NHS with emphasis on quality and education but just with a lot less resources. I spent the rest of the morning on the medical wards including doing a paracentesis (draining fluid from a woman’s swollen abdomen due to heart failure). The afternoon saw me helping with 2 Caesarean Sections. Its all a  steep learning curve for me. Its amazing what you forget after 25 years! This evening we are having a medical education session (something for my appraisal!!) so all in all a very full day
