Bones and Babies

Other than starting with the same letter its seems O&G and Orthopaedics have more in common than we realize. Having to share the same OT in Kuching Hospital have often brought this two department head on. For better or worse....
After many frustrating delays for an ortho Op due to the large number of caesers due to fetal distress, an ortho MO is heard to comment that he is about to have an abscess in distress.

Lost in Translation

Whats this? The very first joke from the houseman years? Who has the honors?
Sit back kids, and enjoy the ride

Place: Orthopaedic ward, Kuching hospital
Incident: Dr Chua is conducting a PR exam
As thought by our illustrious alma mater, Dr Chua is conducting a PR exam on a spine trauma patient. All is going according to plan until he wanted to test for anal tone.while having his finger up where the sun dont shine he request the patient to contract the sphincter by saying "Gengam tangan saya". the patient obediently did so by reaching around and grabbing his hand.
Now thats Ber-khidmat untuk your negara.
