ENT-related pics

here are some of the pictures i took during the ENT (ear, nose and throat) clinic and at the operation theatre.

the cool, handsome and macho ENT specialists doing a laryngotracheal reconstruction, the first ever attempted in Malaysia.

my group tengah observe the operation. i berusaha nak tengok tapi tak nampak sangat pun. nazhan and arep ketawakan je tengok i terjengket2. i like it when they project the picture on the tv screen. nampaklah sikit the surgical field and what the surgeons are actually doing.

this boy had a bilateral seroma of the ear pinnas.
the serous fluid inside was aspirated and they sutured a 2 buttons on the site to compress it to prevent any recurrence. at first, i didn't think they'd use a real button. seeing was believing. klaka je. surgeons pun kene tau jahit butang, hehe.

this is a palatine tonsil.
tonsillectomies are part and parcel of ENT.

this tiny bug (kutu babi) is a cause of misery and pain for many children. banyak gak kanak2 datang to have ticks removed from their ears.

ENT is really cool. the work is during office hours and it isn't very busy. the surgeries are elective and not emergencies. my lecturers sume boleh je balik umah tengahari amek anak masing2. my lecturers are all very nice and handsome. the job must be very satisfying.

i so love the head gear they use to tengok telinga, hidung, dan tekak orang.

i'd definitely go for this specialization if i'm interested in a surgical-based field.
