Our new orthopedic surgeon reporting in on Monday. He is currnetly staying nearby the hospital. The hospital had arranged an apartment ( owned by our hospital superintendent) along the sea side for him. He was considered lucky as the apartment was well renovated ( price of renovation = price of the apartment, long long story ...).
Some had said he is a nice guy(info from his previous colleague of coz.). My major concern is - nerve/vessal repair capable. The old fashioned one were mostly trained with such skill thus they would take any case up( hand, possible nerve and vessel...) to OT. But those trained nowadays are reluctant do so - either not trained or afraid of medical legal or any other reasons. Working in ED, sometimes we were stuck with those equivocal case and some of the ortho would ask if any nerve/vessel injury present - if yes, they don't even come to see the consult and ask you transfer the case stat.
My question was answer during my last call - we need to transfer such case...
well, at least I could call someone to reduced hip dislocation in the night...
