ophthalmology

just finished my ophthalmology posting last week.

on the third day of the posting, i got blasted from my the lecturer for spelling ophthalmology wrongly. i spelt it as "opthamologi." i did it partly because i was in a rush and also because of my KBSM education. if anything goes wrong, blame the government :)

i NEVER NEVER want to go for an eye surgery!!! its freaky man!! observed a few cataract surgery. first they inject anesthesia into your eyeball. how will you react if someone is going to prick your eye with a needle!! then when the LA kicks in, they start poking all kind of sharp metal instrument into your eyes. and through the whole procedure, you get to see all the metal cutters approaching your eyes and as they worked around your eye.

aawweekkkk!!!!

saw a few freak accidents to. this ex-army guy was driving with his window down. an on coming car hit his side view mirror and the broken pieces penetrated his cornea. gonna be blind unless he goes for a cornea transplant.

there was this sad case also. 22 year old guy who was cutting some metal pieces when a small metal sharpnel broke through his protective eye wear and penetrated his eye. to his misfortune, his eyeball got infected and he has something called 'endophthalmitis.' basically its a real fuck up infection of the eye. the infection was not responding to treatment and the doctor had no choice but to eviscerate his eye. its a procedure where they remove every content of the eye except the outer scleral layer.

shitty man....
