Day 1 - Emergency Room Rotation

Yesterday was my last day in my Surgery rotation, and as I moved on, today marks my first day as an emergency room rotator.

My first day in ER today was not quite remarkable, saw only a few patients most of which came in due to an elevated blood pressure. Nothing unusual happen in my day 1 rotation. Tomorrow marks my first tour of duty in the ER, hopefully nothing out of the blue happens.

In our ER setting, some patients usually seek consult due to fever, cough and some midnight workers just want to seek consult in order to get a medical certificate to excuse them from not going to work. Being in the Emergency room, we are the first line in dealing with patients, stabilize them if the have unstable vital signs and then referring them afterwards to the specific department. Its quite enjoyable when staying in the ER but sometimes it gets to tiring when a lot a patients come in and out of the ER door. As I face my first tour of duty tomorrow, hopefully ill make it through intact. Pleasant Day
