House was right. Everybody LIES.
Mr DG, a 50 year Caucasian male, was transferred from Loughlinstown A&E for an oncology consult, on a background of two episodes of epileptic seizures.
He had the episode while smoking ‘grass’.
I found that out after reading his chart.
During the history taking session, he told me a whole different story. And I believed it. He opted out of mentioning the grass he was smoking prior to the ‘epileptic fits’. He also didn’t seem to think it was important to tell me that he had CANCER.
I guess dealing with the big ‘C’ isn’t as easy as it seems.
In conclusion to my two week stint in oncology, it would be safe to assume that I have crossed it out as a potential field I might be pursuing for my specialist training in the future.
