pics of saint francis hospital
i cannot believe i did not put these pics up earlier!
doing ward rounds, with the nurse/interpreter
doing a lumbar puncture!
here with one of my favourite patients, and my 'favourite' nurse (the one who was adamant that i prescribe patients the "appetite pill" (iron tabs))
i am a bit gutted that i took these pics in my last week, when for various reasons the wards were actually a lot emptier than they usually were. this above is the male medical ward. imagine it completely full and overflowing, with patients sleeping on mattresses on the floor as well. the sad thing is that the male medical ward was empty because a lot of patients died in the previous few days.
the female medical ward. this ward was also empty, but mostly because we managed to discharge a lot of patients.
the 'outer' female medical ward. the male ward has an 'outer' ward as well. patients with confirmed or suspected tuberculosis are placed in the 'outer' wards, to reduce the risk of infecting other patients, most of whom are immunocompromised.

---Message to Buttjam---
=========================
Hello Buttjam from small apple:
You must be my best friend that i never met in colorectal surgery. Everyday, we jam things in people's butts - fingers, anoscopes, colooscopes, sigmoidoscopes, paediatric gastroscopes, rigid sigmoidoscopes, vaseline, gauzes, swabs and we jam the contents in the butt all up.
The butt produces lots of jam too - jam that i'm sure you'd love to spread onto your bread.
Natural rectal mucus, rectal bleeds mixed with soft stool after bowel prep before surgery, diarrhoea, caecal mucus mixed with small bowel bile stained contents, ileostomy products, pure hard stool (crunchy peanut butter consistency), thick gooey pus from anal fistulas, fishy stringy pus from rectovaginal fistulas, oh those hard, crunchy metastatic adenocarcinomas, and those vines of grape-like polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis patients (many hot young females too)
But, Buttjam, you should really be more gentle on people's butts. I mean, when you chew on the anal mucosa, dont' suck too hard and give them haemorrhoids please? And when you lick those juicy polyps in the rectum, don't bite so hard that you give them rectal fissures? I know you enjoy the slurping the pus that comes from infected anal fistulas a few weeks later but its really uncomfortable for the patients. Oh, and when you lick the diarrhoea off the asshole, try not to scrape your teeth on the anal sphincters? You either:
1. make them all loose and your special jam becomes wasted on their panties
2. Make the tissue around the anal ring scarred and they get tight anal sphincters needing anal dilation and sphincter repair which - sphincters so tight that they can't even fart.
So, Buttjam, may new best friend, its been nice jamming with you. Come visit me at our colorectal department someday and i will give you a walking tour of the buttjam factory with our new virtual CT colonoscopy tours! Compliment to that we will also show you live videos of the production of buttjam and we will suction a bottle of sample, including crunchy polyps, for you to trial as well! So come along and lets jam it all up the butt!
remember, lick, suck and blow but NO TEETH!
Your best friend
Moo
Oh my god.
Dha...
Can we kick Moo out of this blog?
for writing this?
I think Moo should appologize to everyone.
For writting that.
Thats just disgusting....
Shit man!!! Wat is the States doing to ya????
Wats wrong? get out while u still can!!!
Moo...
it turns out i am doing a psych rotation in my HO year. I will see u on the ward. and we can THEN talk about all this butt-jam u got piled up on ya brain...
Poor moo moo... all this compost is too much...
The level og butt-gayness is rising with each entry on this awesome blog.
wat happenned to the day when we were discussing zebras and gazelles? the safaris? the playing soccccer in the sun?
I think such is theeffect of London-don-don-don. and i blame Fergie. Personally.
I mean - that bridge just keeps coming down. Like Moos patients' underpants just before.... he makes the magic happen. oh yeah.
He obviously likes it.
Not unlike Mr.Butt-jam!
It is now clear, beyond any reasonable and unreasonable doubt - the origin of his name is indeed - in the butt. Although he claims that the 'jam' part is unrelated to the anal concept as such, i and the rest of the audience on this lovely blog that has become our home away from home as the weeks merge into months and countries change and the world rotates and the dogs are barking because i totally lost my train of thought? wat thought?
Ah yes- we were discussing the "butt jam" experince.
\
WEll - just as a scientific example of the fact that a certain jelly fish has a predisposotion of all things annal, i will now enedevour to take the readers and listeners on a journey into the past, if u will:
A certain epiliptic chorean (not to be confused with Correia, or Mr. Sidenham) has had a fascination for the butt for years:
1) When is high school, the jellyfish had an email address and an ICY name - "Bumbfly".
Now lets assess that name: notice the double barrel structure as in the 'buttjam' name. and again, please note the presence of the ever-emerging bumb. as in ass. like the 'butt' of the jam, the chorean fishhhh has put the one most important concept at the begginging of his name: BUTT-jam, BUMB-fly.
2) The butt slapping has started with buttjam. and he likes it. Ooooooh how he likes it.
3) the most fascinating creatures in this universe are, without an arguement, the female of the human species. And although these lovelies possess many a seductive curve, the Buttjam is mainly attracted to particular anatomy... yes.. u guessed it - the ass.
Thus.
It is clear. that not only is the 'butt-scination' an important modern day concept, but also it is a construction of the mind that is contagious, as the pre-occupation with the round cheeks and the anus itself has been transferred off from the bumbfly, to the buttjam, and now to the moo-cow.
Anyway.
I think that ppl should be aware and careful. that is all.
Always wear protection when around these obsessed individuals.
If u see Moo and petroleum jelly/KY jelly/surgilube/anything remotely slippery - run!
Also avoid long and bendy things as well as silver rockets that a Moo moo may possess.
And remember -always wear a condom.
Peace out.

Do you know, psychiatric patients are more prone to rectal prolapses? There are many ways to fix rectal prolapses, one of it is the delormes' procedure where you do mucosectomy and strip out and pull down the mucosa (for buttjam to feed on) and tighten those loose sphincters.
I have a certain feeling buttjam would love nothing more than to jambutt. pillowbiters and all.
Ohh KY jelly. you know i found a pot of those little packets of KY jelly in the surg registrar room? a whole bucket of them. Hmm.
Ilia - i think we shud open a one-stop shop in the future - patients can come for facial plastic surgery e.g., get massages, spas etc and get their colonoscopy done at the same time. With music, cocktail and all. Wat do u say? You can use the colonoscopy to remove polyps from the nose too!
Oh, and ilia - my fingers are naturally slippery. Ohh yea.
Did you know...
The stapler that is used to make anocolon anastomosis, is invented by Russians?
To use it, obviously, it goes through the anus. You got it right, inserted into the butt.
Good lord Moo!
What is happening to ya?
U r turning into Butt-boy!
I see the world through the lithotomy position.
somebody...
Help Moo moo.
Dha - got Clozapine for acute onset Shit-zophrenia?
oh my sweet, sweet, sweet lord.
i cannot believe!
you guys are amazing! :)
i don't have enough time to write an appropriately (one's intestines are quite long, you see) long response. needless to say - i am so proud to have such wonderful, mature friends like you guys. oh and by the way we're going to be doctors. like. apparently people are going to look for us for advice, help and even saviour.
*gasp*
anyway. i think a few of us are stuck on a certain stage of development. the anal stage. which would explain all this tight-arsedness and anal fixations. did your mummies and daddies scold you too much when you shat your pants as wee little babes? did you have a traumatic time being potty trained? or, perhaps - do you still shit your pants?
anyway. ilia i think moo needs the full shabang. full restraints. isolation. intramuscular haloperidol. intramuscular benzodiazepines.
and ect.
that'll knock some sense into him!
and then intensive psychotherapy.
i fear though, that surgery has damaged him beyond repair.
another one lost to surgery.
