Today is our theatre day and surprisingly we have only two cases. Actually, we have three cases but I could not get a bed space for one of them. All our bed is usually always occupied.
Our first case is avascular necrosis of head of left femur of unknown cause. We did synovial and capsular biopsy to make a definitive diagnosis. Therefore, we used an anterior approach to collect our samples and sent them for histology, microscopy, culture and sensitivity and we requested zielnesten stain to rule out acid-fast bacilli.
Our second case is that 12-year schoolgirl who we planned for sequestrectomy on account of chronic osteomyelitis of left tibia. This really took a lot of our time because we have to do a good and thorough job.
My unit is on call this week so I have to stay behind to do post operative round and monitor other patients in the department. My house officer and I did post operate round around 6pm and I thank God both of our patient are stable.
I left for common room to await any consult from accident and emergency unit. And as at time I am typing this write-up, there is still no consult for me. Probably this is a form of compensation for all the work I have done today.
