Impression of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedics is one of a few subjects that we were happy to study because of nice instructors who are very friendly and helpful. We were therefore not worried about our studies and felt relieved that we can ask the instructors about anything related to the studies. We had actually practiced (with our friends, though), such as splinting, retention, shoulder dislocation reduction, etc. When we practiced, the instructors were always with us to guide and advised, making us understand better. In “Round ward ortho” and “trauma” practice, we did have the opportunity to learn from the patients with close supervision from the instructors. With the instructors’ friendliness and care, we did learn a lot of important tricks, such as patient information collection, examination and communications with the patients. In addition to the instructors, all seniors and residents were very nice too. They helped and gave us good advice on how to take good care of accident patients. Although it took quite a lot of time for us to learn, the residents were so kind to stay with us and guide us on every detail until we did understand well the techniques. We wish to take this opportunity to thanks all the instructors for their help guiding us and teaching us and all the residents for their care and help throughout the four weeks during our rotation at Orthopaedic Surgery. Thank you very much!
