intern of 2k17 batch 

was posted in department of general medicine on dates 02/01/23 to 03/03/23 including psychiatry  from dates 15 jan to 30 jan 

General medicine was my first posting in internship and reported enthusiastically on date and alloted unit 1 under pgs  dr. Prachethan and dr vivek sir . I took a little bit of time to cope up with process but got set by 1 week 

On the very first day i monitored blood transfusion whose hb was 6mg/dl until 9pm on non duty day, after that patient was taken over by obs gyn department for some gynaecological issues .

On op day there were nearly 70 pts and recorded nearly 30 patients vitals and among them few are admitted 

My very first case was very intrested pt presented with slurring of speech and decresed tone she got admitted and i took interest in that case from starting to end till dicharged . This case also helped me to diagnose my friends  mother who presented with same symptoms even before admitted into hospital.
