Picture Overview of My Week

Warning, last picture is graphic (not for the weak of stomach)! (+ some normal pictures)

I made some friends with the nurses and they taught me how to make fried plantains and onion/fish/maggi sauce.  Mmmmm salt... Apparently I was a weak pounder.  Weak!  

I also semi-adopted a kitten at their place.  It's sooooo cute lying on my lap and just hiding its head! :D

Kid had a pretty bad looking rash, not sure what it is.  Probably Staph?

Very strange ultrasound of a lady who thought she was 8 mo pregnant, but turns out size only fits 16wks.  Very strange b/c on ultrasound, we couldn't see any fetal parts or bones.  And then when we did the pregnancy test, it was positive!  Also didn't look like "snowy storm" in a molar pregnancy.  So right now, we pretty much have no idea what it is.

There's this guy who came in with distended stomach.  Turns out the whole distension is his liver!  The thing that's sticking out all the way below his umbilical cord...  So sad that we probably can't do much for him. :(

The other day, I saw a patient get their dehiscence explored and sewn together WITHOUT anesthesia.  Without ANY anesthesia.  It was the most painful thing to watch.  And all the while, all she did was make some barely audible squeals and prayers.  The most excrutiating part was probably watching them tighten the sutures so that the two edges of skin would come together.  It was NOT pleasant.
