Never go Outstation after a call...

I was on call on Friday.. and, as usual,, was operating from 8 in the morning till 5:30 am on Saturday.. I had a rest at 2-3 am on saturday morning.. Thats it... 6 oclock on saturday morning, i had to hop onto the hospital van and go to Penang for a short course on operative exposures.. Basket!! Eventually.. Slept in the Van on the way there, slept during the course, started having a headache at 12pm, continued the course in the afternoon doing cadeveric dissection, fell asleep everywhere... ha ha ha!! on top of all that, stomach ache when we stopped over at Juru while returning to Ipoh.. ha ha.. just tahan, didn't go to shit anywhere.. reached home at 6:30 pm.. Wife cooked dinner. Bathed, ate dinner and by 9pm, sleeping already.. till 7 am today.. Ha ha!!

Shoulder hemiathroplasty

One of the rare shoulder hemiathroplasties. Top left is a picture of the Trial implant.. then the implant in the humerus and then the picture of the fracture itself.. Couldn't take picture of the real implant.. I was scrubbed in, assisting my bosses.. The real implant is really shiny.. X-ray of the implant after the operation.. The actual fracture.. head of the humerus in many pieces..

relatively an easy day

Had an awesome lunch... Tandoori chicken with nan and kheema mutter. Awesome dinner.. chicken gravy fried rice.. Only bad thing was the Kia sportage left headlight seems to be blown.. Have to fix that.. dunno how much thats gonna cost..
