Inguinal Hernia

this is gonna be short. well a tiny baby had inguinal AND umbilical hernia. and the anaesthetist asked me to describe the ANATOMY OF INGUINAL CANAL. Mouth *dropped*. I'm meant to look it up tonight... watever.. haha...

and poor baby.. he had to do an epidural anaesthetic. which requires flexing his whole body in an uncomfortable position and then poking thru a needle on his spine. OUCH. and triple ouch! because i think they did it at least THREE TIMES! (coz they couldn't get to the CSF fluid...)

Poor baby. he was crying so hard. turning blue at times... thats the most horrible thing about being a doctor!

ANYWAY, I got the pleasant job of feeding cordial to the baby. It works quite miraculously. He'd just stop crying. and once the cordial is gone, he cries again. and the cycle repeats.... Actually the cordial stopped working after a while.. i mean c'on! Lumbar Puncture HURTS!!!!!!!!!!
