DNR

Saw a man died today

Was there throughout the whole process

Examined him the day before

And i did not do anything

To stop him from deteriorating

Watched him gasp for air

Only asked the nurse to put on stuff to monitor his vital signs

And auscultated him to learn what a dead man's heart sounds like

Reason ?

DNR - DO NOT RESUSCITATE!

First Entry

My first entry in this blog.

This is gonna be a place to jot down my encounters along the path of medicine and my life, as a 5th year usm medical student for the next 6 months or so, and hopefully as a junior doc after that if things goes along smoothly.

Enjoy!
