Today is my last day as an MD postgraduate student! Exciting. It was admission day and so I would have to do a 24hour duty. Started off with a busy OPD with lotsa Bengali patients and a bit of communication problem. All was under control till suddenly a wave of vertigo hit me out of the blue. I just about excused myself and went into an empty cubicle. After a few minutes I threw up into the sink. Still dizzy, I managed to get Karpagam to get me some meds and one of the nurses gave me a shot of stemetil. A little while later I was still a little dizzy, but managed to make my way back to the room and crash out – no way I could be on call today.
It was quite uncomfortable, but I managed to drift in and out of sleep.
Frustrating way to end my MD – a bout of vertigo?!! That wasnt on my plans!!
Anyway, it’ll take me a couple of days to recover.
