Internship day 2.

At 8:40 I pull into Wrońskiego, and there are fewer parking spaces than ever before - I searched for 15 minutes until I finally squeezed in behind the hospital, landing in a huge pothole. I probably scraped the underside of my car quite badly. I managed to meet Michał and at exactly 9 we entered the duty room. Today was a rapid refresher on taking a medical history and writing up the patient’s status (hello, after so many years of study one really ought to have that at one’s fingertips ;) ) - we examined 11-month-old Maja, who was being diagnosed for pulmonary stenosis, but to be honest I do not really know what was wrong with her. The little one was crying intensely and was irritable, so it was not possible to conduct an especially thorough examination, but we did what we could. Then we went to Michał from Kraków’s ward, and there we saw an 8-year-old boy, recently treated with steroids because of severe pneumonia (he was not responding to beta2-agonists), and now: liver enlarged down to the navel, a fine papular rash (similar to molluscum contagiosum) on the abdomen, AST and ALT elevated (I think somewhere around 250). So what is wrong with him? Virology tests were sent to the laboratory, including EBV. Will see.
For the time being, Dr Gromkowska took care of us (the one I had classes with), and in the duty room there is also Dr Ania and another lady doctor whose name I did not catch, because her mouth was full of a bread roll. That is all, ta-dah!
