Lucci Liyeung’s first ever RTHK Documentary of medical volunteer work in Haiti, also includes footage of Lucci drawing public health comic strips on cholera awareness =)
We have all sutured bananas as medical students. Now it’s time to pay tribute to the celebrated hero who sacrificed his skin to future surgeons worldwide.
Sunana – the petrified banana in stitches.
media: Japanese dye-based ink. Very different from the usual Winsor & Newton pigment-based watercolour, very different technique; but still tonnes of fun all the same =)
1. Inside a cabinet of a particular ward in a particular hospital were bags and bags of intravenous fluids.
2. Normal Saline, who resided in the left third shelf was deeply in love with 5% Dextrose, who lived right above him
3. Unfortunately…, 5% Dextrose was more attracted by Hartmann’s solution who lived next door.
D5: “He’s so cool, he’s got so many types of electrolytes!”
NS: “Bleh, I got like half of his!”
4. Patients in the wards were always prescribed 2D2S, therefore NS never had the chance to meet D5
5. There came a DM patient with Right upper quadrant pain one day.
6. He was prescribed 1/2 1/2 solution and fate has brought NS and D5 together!
7. Alas, D5 was quickly metabolized upon entering the vessels
8. But thank heavens the dosage was q6h, NS and D5 got to meet once again 6 hours later. This short and intermittent happiness was all that NS’s been looking forward to everyday;
and after discharge of that patient, NS started looking forward to the admission of the next DM patient.
I’m gonna miss PWH Surgery Team 3 SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Thank you so much for the fruitful 5 weeks of Surgical rotation, I’ve enjoyed everything, from ward rounds to bedside teachings to midnight emergency call, and have learnt more than I could ever hope for!
Charcot when pronouced in French sounds like charcoal; that kitten in the middle is Marie from Disney’s Aristocats; the tooth is pretty self-explanatory
