today i saw a BOGOTA BAG!! ^_^


yup, after over a month i've heard Dr. Hussein Khairy mentioning Bogota Bag in his lecture...with the idea that am living in somewhat a well equipped area, never had i imagined i'd get to see a Bogota Bag this early in my medical life! ^_^


Bogota bag is the blood or plasma bag used to close your abdomen temporarily
in case you need to stop the surgery for what ever purpose and will continue nex time
or, you met a burst abdomen patient (horrorrr!!!)

in courtesy of certain friends n family...hehe,
do click the address below if you wish to see the temporary abdominal closure

and i was inspired by the resident,
who was so helpful
to teach me about shock,
how to cannulate a shock patient
and assess the patient's improvement
in details!!

"i believe it's important for you to know a bit of everything, even if you are going to specialize in whatever field one day, you can't say 'i don't know how to treat you, am just a peadiatrician!' for example,  ryte?"
a meaningful reminder he gave me ^_^

whenever i read about shock emergency or was confronted with it,
this unlucky patient will come into my mind
