Farewell EAMC

Finally, the end is almost near. we are currently at our last rotation: community medicine. condemned to the 16 health centers in marikina, we no longer go on 24 hour duty posts in EAMC. we are, however, required to go house to house and ask people questions regarding health and sanitation in marikina. give me duty hours instead anytime...

anyhoo... this entry is a dedication to all the weird things i have seen in EAMC... actually, this isn't all of them. i did get to take pictures of some but the others, i was either too sleepy to take 'em or i forgot to. these are the most interesting though... oh, and by the way:

WARNING: Explicit pictures!! These are non-edited, real, true-to-life pictures. View at your own risk!!

This guy here told me that he just woke up with an icepick in his neck. can you believe the deepness of his sleep? makes you wonder what he was dreaming about. what's even more amazing is that there was no major structures that were hit! he walked, talked and breathed his way into the ER. amazing? believe it. here are x-rays of his unfortunate situation:






Here's a baby with an unusual knee. She was actually born with her knee bending frontwards. galing no? =) it was actually repaired 1 week after her birth.


This is the weirdest one yet. This baby here has Kleeblatshadel or Cloverleaf head or Craniosynotosis. Sutures of the skull fail to fuse during the neonatal period and with increase growth of the brain, it results to hydrocephalus, ergo the cloverleaf shaped head.
