How it works traumatologist winter

I think we all know that work traumatologist at the height of the season falls and fractures are not so easy. Read more about the history of the profession first-person.





On the hot season

High season for the trauma begins in early December, when the snow falls and sudden temperature drops.
We also winter always creeps up unnoticed - utilities are not ready, the snow on the roads,
which, when the temperature turns floating in the slush, the ice. And away we go!
And it ends only when the snow melts completely.
You breathe out, say goodbye to loved ones, and you go to work until spring.
Nobody knows when the end is your time, you can not leave the hospital a few days:
someone brought in at night - should be treated, emergency operation - to do. And here everyone finds the Tao and found him:
I, my wife, who again this year to celebrate New Year without me, because I was on duty.
On the day you can have about 30 patients. But there is a limit flow more which still does not pass through a doctor.
The most common injury in the winter - "fell - woke up - the receiving department." Most often break an ankle,
but there are broken arms, radius, elbow - it's when he fell badly.
By the way, heels alone - half of the fracture, need only slightly tighten leg.
The contact area is reduced, no friction. When the foot is completely on the ground,
much easier to maneuver and get out,
so the question is very topical heels. Women throw heels even in the winter!

[color = # 000099] On New Year

Christmas season can be considered open when starting corporate parties, that is also the beginning of December.
Here the number of drunken injury increases dramatically. At the very least the New Year people, and not so much because,
that all behave carefully, but because not all get to the hospital.
That's the next morning they wake up and realize that something is wrong.

Classic:
- Xenia, why I have such a big hand?

Or:

- Oleg, Oleg, come here, with him, it seems that something is wrong!
Just a first they start coming. Some until January 13, and can easily be: Who is sick during the holidays?
And then holidays have passed - should be treated. Although he and the New Year is always on duty at the hospital doctors.
And then work on a par with trauma surgeons because come all sorts of pancreatitis, liver, and other pleasures of life Christmas.



About silly injuries

The number of injury depends not only on the season, but also on the specific blame.
In every season at the trauma their joy in the summer and in the spring - it rolls, bicycles and other means of latent suicide.
And then there are winter sports, spring ...
Any trauma tend to agree with Einstein that there are two infinite: the universe and human stupidity.
You understand that when you come to patients with injuries amazing. For example, one German was preparing food for their fish,
and he had something to grind, he took a meat grinder, but the speed of rotation seemed to him unsatisfactory,
so gloomy Teutonic genius has connected to the drill grinder and did not consider the rotation speed - sucked his hand grinder.
Thousands of injuries begin with the words: "Bob, look, I can not!" - And the snowmobile into a tree.
When people move borders reasonable, usually it ends up in my office.
And more people are inclined to experiment. So I just was surprised the first time,
when I saw the X-rays at the anus of the patient lighter.
And then I have so much to be there. This is an X-ray of the patient - then the pelvic bones, and between the foreign body.
This dildo, that the batteries are clearly visible.

About colleagues

I actually have all the iPhone somehow filled with case studies.
We together with doctors occasionally such images being transferred, usually share some of curious cases or,
Conversely, complex - some beautiful, sophisticated and well-conducted operation.
Here, for example, photos of a broken arm before and after surgery.
We are joint and bone just like the designer collected. And in the end everything turned out as beautiful.
Since doctors are not difficult to make friends. Especially when you find yourself in an unfamiliar company and someone accidentally finds out that you're a doctor.
Immediately he begins: "My head hurts for a long time in this place," "and I have a hand," "and I have a leg."
Without a doubt, you look, the answer, but they immediately "and yet here I was."
But doctors know that we are out of work or do not communicate on health topics, or tell an interesting case studies.

To learn how to become a traumatologist

In medicine come for three reasons: I want to, because I need it; I want to, because I have a male-female-uncle;
I do not want to, but I have a male-female-uncle.
First you marinate for six years at the University of trying to figure out what you want out of life - if you are, of course, did not come back,
received a kick from adults, or if you do not have roads in medicine, ie dad was a urologist,
grandfather was a urologist, great-grandmother was a urologist.
In the process of training people to touch different subjects and have the opportunity to the pseudo,
but the choice ultimately becomes greater intuitive and random: he was a good teacher for trauma, for example.
After six years of training, you are still one - without a physician specialty, and you need to go either in internship or residency.
Do not ask me what the difference between them, I do not know.
Since my childhood I dreamed of becoming a resuscitator: it seemed to me that this is the profession of the hero who saves the dying people.
The first four years in the medical and I thought that I would go in Critical Care Medicine. But then just perehotelos - this also happens.
By the way, resuscitators I still have a lot of respect. They are very positive to work with them - a pleasure.
Doctors generally like to make a joke on himself, on the patient, but resuscitators,
since they are constantly on the border of life and death,
like a joke more than anything else.

On education and salary

If you knew how I'm scared to go to the doctors I've seen how the training.
The advantage of working at least a doctor that you have a lot of friends
in the medical field, and if you need to, you can find a specialist.
In general, I advise everyone in Russia have at least one familiar doctor.
And to determine from the normal to you whether specialist, I think, impossible.
Well, except for some usual features like that, how well his speech and adequately consciousness.
Pay doctors officially low, but there are ways to make money - from formal paid services to outright extortion.
The limiting factor is is that doctors tend,
intelligent people. But such words more and more difficult to talk about those,
who is now discharged from the university.
A more stable earnings and there is no need something to extort from those doctors who work in private clinics.
But private medicine is not so developed, and doctors leave the profession is quite difficult because you spend
to prepare for the work of a lot of time. And sends everything and go
working auto mechanic or sales manager - is a difficult choice.
The best thing about the doctor - is to see the result of their work, as in any profession, probably.
Only doctors results clearly than anywhere else:
Behold the man did not go, so he goes on, smiling, "Look, Doctor, I am able."
This was and is necessary to go into medicine. When you do something, and the man got better, you know that in his place.
But the most difficult - to remain human. In every profession there deforming component that changes your personality.
We have reduced the threshold of sympathy. Another very sad to get into a situation where you can not help.

About series and films

A lot of different variations on the theme of TV medicine. I can not say that a lot of them look.
That "Interns", for example, similar to the reality in the sense,
that an intern or resident in the hospital comes to a lower level of sanitation.
Our group of young residents took out furniture from the office of professor,
mopping the floors, drifts back. Only the professor was not Ohlobystin.
And it would be very cool to work, I think.
Dr. House - a wonderful doctor. That's what everyone wants: not to see patients, treat them remotely.
By the way, "everybody lies" - is also true. On the medical side in the "House" still quite competently.
But according to their reality, not ours, of course.
We have a "sister, wear green fodder here, we treat" or "plaster - home" when the operation is necessary.
Sagely you say to a patient that he is all right and he can go home.
Then this man comes to another doctor and asks that "got out."
And like I not say that he was a doctor and nakosyachil asshole. She says she was properly chosen treatment strategy.



About patients

No one remembers you when all is well. At first, when you start to work, it's sad they go away and stop ringing.
But then you realize that this is normal. However, there are exceptions to the rule - some write from other cities,
from America or New Zealand. They write that they have all the good, Congratulations on - of course, any doctor is nice.
Yes, the New Year we are constantly presented with brandy and candy - it's not even a gift, as well - a tribute to tradition, I suppose.
There is rarely anything unusual, but recently my colleague presented canned "Beef" and "Konin».
There are patients who try to teach you how to treat. Inadequate and unpleasant people in general is not so little,
and in a stressful situation becomes asshole every second. You learn with them managed.
In spring and autumn here are traditionally worsening paranoia, and suffer from it, not only psychiatrists.
Somehow to me the surgery got a woman - it was necessary to know,
of course, whom you take, but I only saw it on the operating table.
After surgery, she wrote a few pages of small handwriting complaints.
Then she sat in my office and talked for half an hour,
that the operation filmed for the FSB could otsmotret this film, and that's part of the process has been specially cut,
to hide in her implanted chip.

About humor

About the doctors do a lot of jokes, but about the trauma I remember only one, and the indecent:
go to the office two people, and one stuck a hand in the other - the usual, generally the case for trauma, and the doctor tells them:
"You understand that it is a trauma room, not a puppet theater?»
More poems there is better gypsum bed than granite and fences. And so on.
And yet we can do the surgery while wearing rabbit-like ears, for example, the patient does not see everything early, and we can not be no joke.
