Unfortunately, most gyn training programs do not offer the opportunity to rotate through the ICU which, as you appropriately commented, is definitely an opportunity missed. And even more unfortunate, this is generally accepted as OK or preferred by trainees. I assume gyn training is similar in South Africa as in the US where ob/gyn is joined together. For someone who plans to do absolutely zero (at at least very limited) obstetrics (such as gyn oncologists), it would be nice to have the option to do rotations with other surgical services. <br /><br />Thanks again for your reply. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.DAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-37476587535400999212012-01-06T10:26:49.000+02:002012-01-06T10:26:49.000+02:00da, i am very happy you commented because you are ...da, i am very happy you commented because you are right. like all generalisations this is only partly true. these days i work with very competent gynaes.<br /><br />the post speaks of a time during training when we did despise the gynaes, specifically of our university (not all gynaes worldwide). it had a lot to do with the arrogance filtering down from their stupid (yet technically brilliant) prof. the fact that their prof refused to let his underlings rotate, thereby robbing from them the opportunity to better their knowledge, with specific reference to icu, did nothing to improve our opinion of them.<br /><br />in the end i acknowledge that this post does generalise more than it should and thank you for giving balance with your comment. but at that time in my career that is what i felt (since then my opinions have changed quite a bit) and the incident that i describe happened, even if it does paint me in a somewhat unflattering light. i do try to be true to what goes on even if it does reflect badly on me.<br /><br />i hope my reply finds you well. thank you for your compliments reguarding my writings.Bongihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918640034313468627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-685429305172711562012-01-06T06:08:26.762+02:002012-01-06T06:08:26.762+02:00Bongi,
I must say, I have been reading your blog ...Bongi,<br /><br />I must say, I have been reading your blog intermittently over the last couple of years and find it both well written and highly entertaining. However, I find this post somewhat offensive. As a gynecologist, during my training, I heard this all before from "real" surgeons. Unfortunately, your comments hold true for some in our specialty; however, you shouldn't generalize as others of us do manage our ICU patients and perform a wide variety of surgeries (bowel, bladder, pelvic reconstruction, upper abdominal, etc).<br /><br />Just wanted to throw in my two cents...otherwise, keep up the entertaining posts.DAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-90839894187161718012011-12-18T13:33:40.328+02:002011-12-18T13:33:40.328+02:00Just found you.
