I started in a new unit today, Ward B, the respiratory unit. There are about 10 patients, ranging from 5 months to 11 years old. Most have been diagnosed with bronchitis and pharyngitis. One patient, an 8 month old boy, was brought in last night with febrile seizure., but has been stable since admission with no more seizure activities.
The unit is run similar to the Infectious Disease unit. There are 7 rooms in this unit, 1 room dedicated to those who can't make any payments, 2 rooms for those who could pay some, and 4 private rooms. There is a doctor and about 10 students assigned to each room, except for the private rooms, which are seen only by attending physicians.
