Celebrating Summer 08!

Last April 25-26 2008, the Medicine Staff of the Davao Medical Center took its break from the hard work and  celebrated summer at La Concha Beach Resort in Samal Island, Davao. We had a blast during our summer escapade, the weather is perfect and the ambiance is just wonderful. Not to forget about the food, we had lechon, dinuguan, puto, humba, chicken bbq and the best fruit salad in the world. Can’t wait for our next group outing probably in Malaysia.

DNR does not mean NO CARE

Often times at Medicine ward, I encouter patients family deciding to have a DNR or Do Not Resuscitate order. Once they decide, they have to sign the patients chart for legality purposes. But what is exactly DNR?

A Do Not Resuscitate, or DNR order is a written order from a doctor that resuscitation should not be attempted if a person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest. Such an order may be instituted on the basis of an advance directive from a person, or from someone entitled to make decisions on their behalf, such as a health care proxy; in some jurisdictions, such orders can also be instituted on the basis of a physician’s own initiative, usually when resuscitation would not alter the ultimate outcome of a disease, and is designed to prevent unnecessary suffering.

Any person who does not wish to undergo lifesaving treatment in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest can get a DNR order, although DNR is more commonly done when a person who has an inevitably fatal illness wishes to have a more natural death without painful or invasive medical procedures.

In real life encounter at the ward, a patient was brought to the hospital because of CVA or cerebrovascular accident, the patient had continuous decrease in sensorium and decreased in vital signs despite nursing and medical interventions. So, the patient is a candidate for intubation or we have to place a tube to the mouth to help the patients breath because some clotted blood might affect the respiratory center of the brain. But the family decided to avoid resuscitating the patient. Supposedly, we should intubate the patient and if the patient will go on cardiac arrest, we have to perform CPR and inject epinephrine.

Handwriting

This is really embarrasing, my attention was called for the nth time because of my handwriting. Recently, my friend told me that the records section of the hospital has just comment on my handwriting said that is it unreadable and clear on the nurses notes of the patients chart. The last time when I was in college, the head nurse of the operating room department called me saying that my handwriting can’t be read very well. My collegues told me that it resembles like an ECG strip and I need to have a writing lessons once again. 

Anyhow, this was the result of my handwriting analysis. 

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

 The results of your analysis say:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are negative, fearful, resistant, doubtful, and/or selfish.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You are self-confident and like to bring attention to yourself.
