11th September

I was on call yesterday, on 11th September 2005 :) Nothing major happened over here... I just realised yesteday evening about "11th September" while one emergency Caesarean Section is in progress... And I forget to send birthday greetings to a friend of mine.. His birthday (as well as his brother's birthday) is on 11th September as well.. (they are not twins by the way.. but sharing birthday on the same day, but different year).

So fast, 4 years already.. since the terrorists attack... whereby two American Airlines planes were crashed into the World Trade Centre (WTC) towers on the on 11th September 2001 in New York, causing both WTC towers to collapse. So many people were killed.... :(

I came back home quite late that day (11th September 2001).. I was not on call that day, but there's one leaking/or ? ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm/AAA.. (I can't remember in details cos it's so long ago already..) for AAA repair in emergency theatre that evening.. So I helped out in the theatre. There are quite a number of us helping up that evening cos this is a major surgery.. The patient went into almost asystole on table during induction time and CPR performed... I can't remember how many ampoules of adrenaline & atrophine being given.. He went into ventricle fibrillation (VF) as well.. Defibrillation done... CPR commenced back again later on... we performed CPR for quite long time before we finally give up & pronounced death...
