A day in the life of Kalisvar... tagging house officer in KK Hospital...

I wake up at 6am... groan... have to be in the ward by 6.30am. Sigh sigh... what have i got myself into. Still the people in the wards are mightily friendly. Am tagging along with a MA who's showing how to put on POP and stuff. Morning rounds... found out this has to be followed every day without exception... even on Sat and Sun! Ortho ward is full of indian mos and specialists... led by a Chinese head. lunch at hospital... dinner can go out. But have to come back to the ward till 9pm. this cycle continues for the next day... day after day for one week. Seems it's a rule in ortho that all houseman have to stay back till 9pm every working day... regardless of on call or not. Sigh... life is all within the confines of the hospital. Still... have the consolation that saturday and sunday afternoons and nights are free... if not on call. Lots of hands on to be learnt... h/o are expected to perform ray's amputation by themselves after 1 month. can't complain.
