Photo post . . . 28 March. . .


18 day old girl baby presenting to OPD with early breast development. There were no other features of precocious puberty.

This 35 year old man came to Emergency with history of cough and fever for 10 years. He was so breathless that I sent him straightaway to the ward and planned to evaluate him later. It turned out that he has visited almost all the best institutes in North India. On doing CT Scan, the diagnosis was staring at us – Interstitial Lung Disease. A not so common diagnosis in our place. I’m sure that there are a lot more undiagnosed cases. The saddest part was that nobody had told him about this diagnosis and the prognosis . . . 

A 60 year old man with a poorly managed supracondylar fracture. Resulting in a gunstock deformity.

CT scan of a 20 year old girl with focal seizures. Shows unilateral parietotemporal atrophy of the brain. I wonder what could be the cause. The history is of about 10 years duration.

This is a drain built by our local panchayat to facilitate smooth flow of household waste water. Unfortunately, it had got blocked. And see who’s breeding inside. Enough ammunition for a malaria epidemic.

The internet and cell phone connections at NJH has been dead over the last one week. Being the end of the financial year, it has been quite tough on us. Well, I found out a corner of my house where I could get good Airtel mobile connection. And this is the result. The funny thing is I get calls – and by the time I take the cell phone out from the hook on the wall, it gets cut. I must find where my earphones are . . .

Since, we just celebrated World TB Day, I thought about putting in couple of snaps of Chest X-Rays of TB patients. The first one - A very bad case of pulmonary tuberculosis with extensive destruction of the right lung and miliary mottling of the left lung. The patient has been on irregular anti-tuberculosis medication from a quack for quite a long time before he planned to visit us.

Chest X-Ray of another mismanaged pulmonary tuberculosis. This time it’s a lady.

A very bad case of atopic dermatitis with secondary infection. She had similar lesions in the nape of the neck too.
