INTERSHIP IN MEDICINE AND PROCEDURE PERFORMED
I am M. SREEJA an intern in department of General Medicine posted from October 1 to November 30 From October 1 to 15, I was posted in periferals 1st-5 th of October ICU On the first day of Medicine posting I was posted in the ICU. All I did was monitor the patients who were in a critical state. It was the most important part of patient care and I was making sure everything was as good as can be. In the afternoon at lunch a nurse and an attender came rushing in informing me of a patient in the CKD ward who was unresponsive. Immediately I rushed into fight mode, called for help and shifted her to the ICU, I proceeded with chest compressions with guidance of my PGs, for 30 minutes. We intubated her on time. Sadly we couldn't revive her. She was a day care patient who has completed her dialysis and was about to go back home. One minute the patient was fine and the next minute she was gone. It was an awakening of what my role was for the next two months. The second day was filled
