Day 26: He threatened to issue them query

I got to theatre early today and surprisingly my consultant came to the theatre around 8am. I was the only doctor in the unit that was there. My boss was so annoyed that he told other doctors in the unit to go back home. He threatened to issue them query.
I personally do not want them to go home because I cannot do the work alone. They were later allowed to report back after someone begged on their behalf.

We had three cases today. First patient is a day case who came for removal of inter-medullary nail of the right femur. Our second case is that of 37-year-old male who had segmental fracture of left tibia with malunited lower fracture line and non-united upper fracture. We initially wanted to insert interlocking nail but we have to abandon procedure and instead reduced with plate and screw.

The last patient is that of chronic osteomyelitis that we did seqestrectomy on left femur. We left theatre around 3pm. I am on call, so I could not going home.

I was invited to review a case of septic arthritis in a 2-year boy. I placed him on intravenous antibiotic after arthracentensis.

I also saw a case of diabetic foot today. The patient leg has to be amputated and unfortunate for him both leg are affected. My consultant is thinking of saving both legs. However, as for me I think the earlier the better.
