Rounds, Clinic, and a Wedding Feast

Rounds at 7:30. We saw only 6 patients. Its been slow because of the holidays. The patients include an electrical burn, a scald burn, resolving acute cholangitis, resolving acute cholecystitis, diabetic foot infection and a femur fracture.


In clinic patients come fast and furious. A small sampling of cases seen


  • depressed skull fracture

  • locally advanced breast cancer

  • inguinal and incisional hernias

  • tonsilitis

  • parotid tumor

  • malignant fibrous histocytoma

In the afternoon, we had ortho clinic - wide range of cases from perinatal elbow dislocation resulting from birth trauma to nonunion of midshaft femur fractures.


Finally, this evening a wedding. The groom is a former patient of Dr. Kelley's who was quadraplegic after a c-spine fracture who regained complete neurologic function after reduction and fixation. He now works at the hospital as a janitor and is a very happy groom.

Reading this blog is expanding my vocabulary.

Bekah-already enculturated! Unbelievable. And I'll bet you're shopping in the market using only Begali.

Hello - so glad you are coming out of the fog (and Bekah does so just beautifully.) We are thankful you made it and seems as if you are both "jumping in" with both feet! Do you need more jewels to go with your sari? Let us know what Grace is up to! Love and prayers, Charlene

Wow, neat stuff. I feel your pain on the jet lag, especially with a little on, but it will pass!

troy, i will give you $10 if you fit "inguinal and incisional hernias" or "malignant fibrous histocytoma" in your sermon this week.

during my day, i had to yell-o-rama at a kid-i-osis for swirlling-a-stasis another boy, and i led a nice round of chubby bunny-asectomy.

can you believe they give doctorates in my profession?!
