  5. “There is a fever of the spirit, The brand of Cain’s unresting doom, Which in the lone dark souls that bear it Glows like the lamp in Tullia’s tomb: Unlike that lamp, its subtle fire Burns, blasts, consumes its cell, the heart, Till, one by one, hope, joy, desire, Like dreams of shadowy smoke depart. When hope, love, life itself, are only Dust — spectral memories — dead and cold — The unfed fire burns bright and lonely, Like that undying lamp of old: And by that drear illumination, Till time its clay-built home has rent, Thought broods on feeling’s desolation — The soul is its own monument.”

  6. My Experience as A Plastics House Officer | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    When I entered the Surgical Posting, we initially did not have the privilege of experiencing subspecialities like other batches.

    This was due to the fact that there were lack of house officers.

    However, mid-Nov, there was redirection of House Officer allocation and suddenly, the posting was overflowed with House Officers.

    Hence, subspecialities were reintroduced. The subspecialities reintroduced are neurosurgical, plastics and urology.

    Ever since my first posting in Orthopeaedics, I’ve always wanted to experience being in Plastics after assisting my medical officer at that time with SSG.

    Thus, during my final weeks, I was given the priviledge.

    The Burn Ward is located at Level 3 of the Main Building, and is able to host at most, 10 patients, with each patient having their own room/cubicle.

    Usually the burnt patients are kept at Burn Ward whereas other patients who are admitted for AVF creation or SSG are placed at Surgical Ward.

    The timing for us House Officers is from 7am till 6pm, Sunday till Friday with an off day on Saturday.

    During my time in Plastics, I would usually arrive on time at 7am and proceed to trace the bloods first. After all the bloods have been traced, I would proceed to help out with morning reviews.

    Morning reviews are usually done by the postcall medical officer. This is then followed by rounds with the surgeons, usually starting with the acute or rather, the intubated patients followed by the rest.

    Rounds at Burn Ward is only once daily. After morning rounds, we would gather at the “Handover Room” whereby the patients who are not in the Burn Ward but is being seen by Plastics as another team or as a primary team are being handed over in terms of case and progress as well as the newly admitted ones.

    Next, we will proceed to follow the “Peri rounds” and change dressings if needed. Usually after the Peri rounds is when us House Officers go about our joblists in terms of posting case, referrals or bloodtakings or imaging request.

    The rest of the day could be pretty chill if there is nothing going on but usually, there would be new patients to be transferred in, take blood or any post-op patients to be reviewed.

    Sometimes there are cases being called and we are more than welcome to join the operation. In between, there are arterial blood gases (ABGs) to be take in between or bloods to be sent.

    Finally, in the evening, prior to leaving at the end of our shift, we would prep the coming mornings and leave them nearby before informing in our Surgical House Officer’s group in regards to the “coming mornings”.

    My time in Plastics was rather short-lived and I felt that there was so much more to be learnt. But my time spent there was extremely wonderful and the medical officers and surgeons were more than helpful and welcoming towards the new people into their team.

    Definitely, a department that I would want to return to.

  8. The thread about the First Day of Christmas; an Edinburgh Pear Tree connection

    This thread was originally written and published in December 2019.

    Because of the time of year, let’s do a “Twelve Days of Christmas“-themed thread based around some Edinburgh and Leith local history. Do you remember the tune and the words? Altogether now! And a 1, and a 2, and a 1, 2, 3!

    On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a Partridge in The Pear Tree House. Better known to most these days as the as The Pear Tree pub and beer garden on West Nicolson Street. It’s an early Georgian 2-storey merchant’s house, built in 1756 for William Reid as his residence as West Nicolson House. There is a date stone of 1749 embedded in its walls, but apparently this is a later, anachronistic addition.

    The Pear Tree House and its popular beer garden

    Lady Nicolson, Elizabeth Carnegie, moved here after 1762 when she allowed her own house and parklands to be feud and cleared to make way for Nicolson Street and Square (which took her family name). The Nicolson Baronets had owned the land here since the early 16th century, the title becoming dormant in 1743 on the death of Elizabeth’s husband, the 7th Baronet.

    The building is typical of the Edinburgh style from the time, with a gable end and chimney on the façade. It is faced with rubble but would likely have been harled. Part of the fueing conditions were that the front courtyard be enclosed and used only for “the planting of trees;” the beer garden area was this garden and a coach drive.

    The house passed to the Kilkerran Baronets – the Fergusson Family. Sir Adam Fergusson (3rd Baronet) entertained James Boswell here in the late 1760s and took tea with him. He sold it in 1770. The poet and minister, the Rev. Dr Thomas Blacklock then resided in rented rooms here and entertained both Dr Johnson and Robert Burns, again tea was taken along side various other “refreshments”. Blacklock had been blind since infancy and gives his name to the upstairs bar of the Pear Tree, the Blind Poet. He is credited with having saved the life of Burns, as a letter he wrote to him in 1789 dissuaded Burns from travelling abroad to the West Indies; the ship he had been due to travel on sank on the voyage.

    After Blacklock’s time, the ownership changed again, this time coming into the hands of the Usher family, in whose time it was known as The Usher House.

    The Ushers, who gave their name to the concert hall, were an Edinburgh brewing and distilling dynasty. They donated c. £13 million in today’s money to build the hall, and its internal dome is reputed to be modelled on the one at the top of the stairs in the Pear Tree House. Andrew Usher (senior) was a brewer and for a time in the mid-19th century, they used the house as such. However it was with whisky and distilling where they really made it big. Usher pioneered blending malt with grain whisky; his son Andrew (junior) made a fortune in this business and in 1885 – along with John “Green Ginger” Crabbie and William “VAT69” Sanderson – founded the North British Distillery at Gorgie. This is one of the biggest and most successful vertical column grain distilleries and is still going strong.

    When the brewery outgrew the house, it moved nearby to St. Leonards at the Park Brewery, with the house used as offices, storage and distribution. In 1918, Usher’s whisky business was acquired by the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) and formed into Scottish Malt Distillers, DCL’s lowland whisky operation. The house passed to a subsidiary, J. & G. Stewart, another long-established Edinburgh whisky name and responsible for Stewart’s Cream of the Barley. It became known locally as The House of Stewart.

    When Stewarts moved to Leith in 1972, the house was shut up and abandoned behind its courtyard wall. It was mooted for a potential site of the City Arts Centre, but in 1976 it was restored for use as a pub with the courtyard becoming a beer garden. It took its modern name from an old pear tree growing in the corner of the courtyard.

    The Edinburgh and Leith themed Twelve Days of Christmas continues with a thread about The Lochend Dovecot.
