The mentorship that improved my skills in surgical Toilet and suturing

After completion of my certificate my skills in performing procedures were very poor since nurses are supposed to do what the doctors write up. My first job was in a clinic where i was the incharge of the clinic. The weird evening the motorcyclist was knocked in the close proximity of the clinic and they had to bring him in, other nurses ran away fearing blood and suspected this man was going to die. I had less skills in suturing but had tried learning suturing a mattress and a box during my placement in operating theatre. I tried had and sutured the wound admitted the man and later discharged him after 3 days. I kept checking on the man from his home to make sure he doesnt develop sepsis till he got better on antibiotics. Months later i got a job at Nyakibale hospital and Emergency Department had opened 6 months back, i joined Emergency Department and two days later i was on duty with a colleague who had basic training on job for six months, we got a baby who was cut by a glass so she taught me how to give local anaethesia, wound cleaning and technique of suturing the boy's head. I learnt that mentorship and training in Emergency medicine was key for mid care providers since they are the frontline health workers. GEC has maintained this aspect in training midcare providers in handling emergencies.

CASE I FEB 2015 THE CRASH FOR THREE THINGS-THE COW, THE PEDESTRIAN AND THE CAR. it was a thursday when i woke up and the day seems right not until the evening at around 730pm when the car parked and a knock on ED door and the person comes in saying ''I HAVE ACCIDENT PATIENTS'' to check in the vehicle it was a bloody vehicle with an old female who had sustained multiple injuries on the head, arms and legs . following examination we concluded having a big laceration on the thigh and multiple soft tissue injuries...repaired her and later got a clear history as below the speeding car was going to crash a speeding motorcycle but this drunk driver tried breaking down and the motorcycle went at the side hitting an old female and the car went ahead and hit a crossing cow and died on spot.....FOLLOW ME FOR UPDATES ON THE CONDITION OF THE COW, OLD FEMALE, CYCLIST AND THE VEHICLE+ MOTORCYCLE...... SUPPORT EMERGENCY CARE DEVELOPMENT IN UGANDA......................GOD BLESS U. CASE II FEB 2015

NEED FOR EMERGENCY MEDICINE IN UGANDAN REFERRAL HOSPITALS........

as i start to write this post am whole heartedly taking this opportunity to thank GECC (Global Emergency Care Collaborative) for the work done since 2007 and up to date....you have surely saved many lives including my own children and parents plus relatives. emergency medicine Uganda you inspired us especially when we went to Cape Town for the conference in 2013. Afem you have us at heart ..thank you for always sponsoring the others cadres so that emergency medicine can spread worldwide.

THE NEED FOR EMERGENCY MEDICINE IN REFERRAL HOSPITALS IN UGANDA AND NEED FOR TRAININGS IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE ugandan health care system is surely un accessible to most of people and this has created a gap in accessing services like emergency care especially trauma patients . as u can see today trauma has increased and i think in the next few years it is going to be the leading cause of death. Thus need for action from ministries and need for training institutions or collaborations between organisations. trauma has increased because not everyone in Uganda has a driving licence thus calls for action VISIT OUR EMERGENCY MEDICINE AND DONATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP SAVE THE MANY SUFFERING LIVES (www.http://globalemergencycare.org/)

emergencymedicine-the growing dream

support our cause!!!!! NEW UGANDA, NEW DREAM, NEW EMERGENCY SYSTEMS.....SAVE LIVES UGANDA
as u can tell road traffic accidents are claiming alot of lives in Uganda and no one has taken alot of responsibility to get the solution 
and GECC has been trying so hard to make sure those in rurala areas like Rukungiri Uganda Nyakibale Hospital and the ambulance workers for Ibanda , villa maria, comboni hospital can access the ways of continuously help people thru training by ECPs who work in a rural emergency department
