INTERNSHIP ASSESMENT OF GEN MED POSTINGS

This is
 THANMAI DASAROJU from 2017 batch posted in General medicine department from 12 th October to 11th December 2022

for the first 8 days i have been posted in 
NEPHROLOGY 

During this time i have assisted in central line insertion under the guidance of 
Dr. Bharath sir
Dr. Raveen sir
Dr. vamshi sir
Have learnt the proceedure for the central line placement  
Have witnessed few complications that may arise during the procedure and learnt from them.
i have learnt CPR on a patient who went into cardiac arrest. Unfortunately we couldn't revive the patient . Got shattered as it was my first patient but eventually learned to detach from humanly emotions and to do my duty. learnt how to convey bad news to Patient's attenders.

I have also learnt how a simple misunderstanding could kill a patient, as i was confused with NTG and Lasix vials. 
would have lost my patient if i hadn't been vigilant. 
Thanks to the Sister working at dialysis for pointing out my Mistake.

Seen CRF, AKI cases and learnt their management . 

For Next 7 days i have DONE ICU duties 

 most of the time my work was just monitoring.
but yet i tried to learn whenever i got time.
i learnt  how to take ABG samples with the help of Dr.Pavan sir and Dr. Shashikala ma'am 
i have also done RYLES tube insertion under Dr.shashikala ma'am guidance
i have done FOLEYS  catheterization under Dr.shashikala ma'am guidance.
Assisted in ET intubation under the guidance of Dr.Charan sir
During rounds I have actively involved in ICU and AMC patient's case discussion .
one case in particular gave us a tough challenge, we couldn't control the Patient's fever spikes, we tried in all possible ways to diagnose him but couldn't. , Later after numerous tests He was referred to higher center, i have  followed the case and got to know that the patient have SLE.
All the symptoms patient had was really atypical.
that made me realise that the books we read and the real life cases are quite different and unique and we learn alot from real life cases.

NEXT 15 days i have been posted in PSYCHIATRY
during this time i have seen PANNIC ATTACK, SCHIZOPHRENIA , GENERALSED ANXIETY DISORDER, ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE, BIPOLAR cases.

 learnt how to deal with the different types of patients.
was really proud of our college psychiatry faculty as they made great efforts to reduce the stigma around psychiatry illnesses.

Was able to help PANNIC ATTACK patient by diverting and helping the patient to learn few diversion techniques.
