Who ever said that on calls were boring? (Hmm alright, maybe I did mention it a few times)
Well not today. My friend and I were looking at an X-ray that was handed to us by the specialist on call. She originally wanted to show us how far the umbilical vein catheter has gone in.
On looking at the X-ray, my friend pointed out to the left side of the chest and said 'Hey what's that?'
'Looks like the bowels' I said
'Err diaphragmatic hernia?' he replied back
Yes indeed, it turned out that the patient was referred to the surgical pediatric team to rule out a diaphragmatic hernia!
It was indeed interesting to see a patient with such a condition.
