Pediatrics take 2 ... and more

Started the pediatrics round, again.

Well, I need to explain this. The first ten days in the my internship. We were randomly distributed. I went to the pediatrics hospital in those few days. There, I got the worst flu in 15 years and had a good amount of grief and distress from the conditions of some children and the death of two of them.

After that, I had two months in Surgery. I learned lots of practical stuff. I didn't manage to attend lots of outpatient clinics, so I didn't really feel that I increased my knowledge of surgery. I enjoyed the Accidents and Emergency though. Lots of appendicitis, cholecystitis and renal colic. Most interesting were wounds and poly-trauma patients. Despite the most annoying thing about poly-trauma patients. They need lots of work.

Today, I couldn't find any information about [Aya|http://whirlpool.foolab.org/node/22]. The girl with a huge Subcutaneous Heamangioma. She was transferred to another unit.

Also there was a case of [Craniosyntosis|http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/topic80.htm]. Which is premature closure of one or more of the brain sutures before the skull is fully grown. This boy probably has the sagittal suture closed. He had a really big bulgy forhead (Scaphocephaly?), with protruding eyes. I Didn't have the camera with me.

Yesterday, I came back from the north coast. The Alex-Cairo Road was full of cars. All four lanes, cars were bumper to bumper. I have never seen anything like this.

In Marina, I managed to get out of my reader's block. Which I developed after I finished the 6th year exams. I couldn't concentrate on one thing and read it. I spent four months in the first three chapters of Brave New World. Decided to change the genre and pick the arabic version of [Momo|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo]. In a day managed to read the first three chapters, not bad. The novel is also very absorbing.

Went fishing, after lots of hours, I managed to catch a big crab! It was delicious.
