Everyone at that time was amazed by Dian's struggle to study and she could have no obstacles in taking two different schools and different majors, could score high GPA scores and never skip college. At STIAMI, I study on Saturdays and Fridays, so I don't bother studying in midwifery. There was an oddity during my 1-year internship at Urindo. I got an internship at one of the public hospitals in the city of Bogor at that time after completing one year of education. Dian got an assignment to practice where I did not take midwifery education instead of nursing, but at that time I was placed by the hospital and the university to the ICU room specifically for the treatment of Neurology for 1 week. At that time, Dian, who basically did not know much about the management of neurological diseases, had to be forced to master the way of handling the neurological patient care system.
By the hospital and the university. Inevitably Dian had to study Diseases handled by neurologists were those that occurred in the brain, spinal cord, and the nervous system as a whole. Diseases in question include: stroke, epilepsy, headaches and migraines, brain tumors, brain aneurysms, peripheral neuropathy, sleep pattern disorders, neurogenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, neuromuscular diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, and amyotropic lateral sclerosis. ALS), infections of the nervous system, such as encephalitis, meningitis, to HIV. It should be noted that the neurology treatment room also has sub-specialists or sub-specialists for children, namely sub neuromuscular, sub headache, epilepsy, neuropsychiatry, and others.
After that, one week later I was put in the operating room and I often helped perform operations with neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and within 1 week most of the patients were in the neurology department to perform surgical procedures. Operating table. There I learned a lot a little bit and I often became his assistant such as giving tools according to his instructions for surgery. Even during the treatment room for neurological diseases I often help specialist doctors and nurses there how to check your speaking and seeing abilities to mental health Test your strength, reflexes, and body coordination Make sure your sense of touch is still working or not. To confirm the diagnosis, sometimes a neurologist may also ask you to perform further examinations depending on the symptoms you are experiencing.
These include blood tests, urine tests, and scans (X-ray, CT scan, or MRI) on parts of the brain or spinal cord. Spinal cord. Other identical actions that neurologists perform are: 1. Lumbar puncture this neurologic procedure is performed to check your spinal fluid. A lumbar puncture is a procedure to take a sample of spinal fluid by inserting a special needle after applying local anesthetic to the area to be sampled. 2. Tensilon test this neurological procedure is done by injecting a liquid medicine called Tensilon to see the muscle reaction afterward. This test is recommended for those of you who experience symptoms of a neurological disease called myasthenia gravis.
Electromyography (EMG) Electromyography is needed to detect electrical activity between the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. An EMG examination may be uncomfortable for some people because this procedure is performed by inserting a special instrument into your muscle. However, an EMG can detects the presence or absence of abnormalities in the nervous system as a whole. Before performing this procedure, a neurologist will first advise you not to take blood thinners. Electroencephalography (EEG) an EEG or electroencephalography are electrodes that are attached to your head. This procedure detects electrical activity in the brain. Brain disorders that can be detected with an EEG include brain inflammation, tumors, injuries, to psychiatric disorders and determine the cause of your seizures. Unlike EMG, the EEG test does not cause discomfort. In fact, not a few people then fall asleep in the middle of the test which usually takes up to an hour. I learned directly from the experts and also learned all of this with the help of neurology specialists, all the staff nurses at the hospital. They even know that I am a student midwife not a nurse who understands gynecology and obstetrics more than neurology. All of them taught me by lending me books on neurology and procedures for treating neurological patients. And after 2 weeks I was in the room for internal medicine.
