INTERNSHIP & CONGRESS |

receptionist who introduced me
to my room. But what was more
interesting that when I entered
the clinic, doctors were already
there keeping a dog with hemorrhage after surgery- under
control till the surgeon arrives and
check up on the patient. While we
were waiting for the surgeon, I had
the chance to meet with the
doctors and everyone was so nice
to introduce themselves. I was
very excited that I had the chance
to be already involved with the
work and get to learn in the first 5
minutes of my arrival.
By the following day, I was happy
to
explore
the
different
departments and facilities of the
clinic.
There
were
two
hospitalization
rooms,
two
surgery rooms, two examining
rooms, neurology, radiology,
physiotherapy
and
internal
medicine
departments.
In
addition, they had one MRI and an
X-ray machines for imaging the
patients. Some of which I didn’t
had the chance to practice before.
Practice in clinic
During my first week of the
internship, I was accompanying
Doctor Aleš Tomek who is a
neurologist. I learnt from him a lot on
neurology, most cases where
extrusion or protrusion of the
intervertebral discs. He explained me
all the steps, how to physically
examine the patient, radiographing,
treating, and sometimes I would be on
the surgery needed.
While my second week was for me to
be enrolled in the internal medicine
department alongside one of my
favorite doctors in the clinic, Dr. David
Hanzlíček. This field of practice I find
very interesting and close to what I
want to specialize and work with
when I graduate.
Dr. Hanzlíček was very helpful and
had the method of “scratch your
head” to know the answer. He
explained everything and always
asking questions to make me think
about the answer. We used different
procedures into finding the right
diagnosis such as ultrasonography,
endoscopy, radiography and lab
samples too. There were a lot of
thought-provoking cases. I was very
happy in the internal medicine
division that I used my time to be
there
alongside
surgery
and
anesthesia during my third and fourth
weeks. I am glad I was able to attend
some of the surgeries that were taken
place in the clinic with PhD. Michal
Vlašín who was also an incredible
doctor and clarified his explanations
on the cases we encountered.
Diversity
of
operations
were
implemented
as
laparotomy,
neutering, and intestinal obstruction
as well.
