My Operating Room experience was a quite pretty to reminisce. I have learned a lot that made me more confident with myself. I and my colleague decided to volunteer ourselves to one known hospital in my place due to difficulty finding a work for we don’t want to waste our time doing nothing and our main purpose is to gain experience that we could put in our resume for future work. During our first day of duty, we felt so awkward and don’t know what to do and our first main goal is to familiarize or memorize all the instruments.

We’ve been to a lot of adjustment both in work and the people inside the OR but slowly we learned how to mingled with them and win their hearts.He! I have assisted different kinds of operation but the most common are exploratory laparoscopy, cesarean section and appendectomy. It is a must and a hospital requirement to wear scrub uniform in the OR and during operation we need to wear some protective measures both for the benefits of the patient and to us, health workers. I found the latest style of scrub suit fit for today’s trend in here http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/.

Every time we went outside or during break time, we always wear our lab coats as one way to preserve our uniform from getting exposed to some microorganism. Sterility is practiced and there are some guidelines and techniques we followed. Through this exposure I gained a lot of friends, mostly Doctors. I have realized that they are not strict as what people see them outside in fact during operation they fond of making jokes to make the team on going.

Eggs are one of the most common allergy causing foods, especially in children. However, most children eventually outgrow their egg allergy. Egg allergy symptoms differ from person to person and occur within a few minutes to a few hours after exposure to eggs. Symptoms can include:

•Skin inflammation or hives, the most common egg allergy reaction

•Allergic asthma

•Allergic nasal inflammation (rhinitis)
•Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as cramps, nausea and vomiting

Egg allergy can cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can block the airways and breathing. If you or your child has a reaction to eggs, tell your doctor about it no matter how mild the reaction may have been. Tests can help confirm an egg allergy, so you can take steps to avoid future and potentially worse reactions.
Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis can include:

•Constriction of airways, including a swollen throat or a lump in your throat that makes it difficult to breathe

•Shock, with a severe drop in blood pressure

•Abdominal pain and cramping

•Rapid pulse

•Dizziness, light headedness or loss of consciousness

See a doctor if you/ your child has signs or symptoms of a food allergy shortly after eating. If possible, see your doctor when the allergic reaction is occurring because this may help in making a diagnosis. Seek emergency treatment if you or your child develops any signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis.

The key to preventing an egg allergy is avoiding eggs and foods that contain eggs. This can be a challenge because eggs are a common food ingredient. Know what your child is eating/ drinking. Be sure to read food labels carefully.

If a mild allergic reaction occurs, over-the-counter antihistamine medications may help relieve egg allergy symptoms. If you or your child has already had a severe reaction, wearing a medical alert bracelet or necklace is a good way to make others aware of a food allergy.

People allergic to eggs may also have a reaction after their skin comes in contact with eggs, so avoid touching eggs or products that contain eggs. Some food products that contain eggs include marshmallow, mayonnaise, meringue, baked goods, mixes, batters and sauces, processed meat and meatballs, pudding and salad dressing. Non-food products that sometimes contain egg include shampoo, medications, cosmetics, finger paints.
