As I embark on my journey of Point of Care Ultrasound, I am very humbled for this opportunity that was given to me right from the online theoretical part to the physical sessions with the trainers. I had a hard time relating to the online training due to little knowledge. But when the trainers came around it was more or less the best moment for me because it felt like my mind was opened with just a click or like a radio station was tuned to a proper channel.
The practicum was a wonderful time for me because I put the knowledge I acquired into practical use on my clients and I identified two cases of incomplete miscarriages on day one which was so impactful. I recommended a proper management of these mothers. On the last day of the training I was also able to identify a mother with anhydramnios [no amniotic fluid] that was in turn referred to the regional referral hospital for better management.
I believe with this training I have acquired the mothers will have better pregnancy outcomes. Proper management of complications shall be done promptly upon detection.
With this training I got interested in ultrasonography and by God’s grace I want to further my education in the field and become a radiologist in some years to come. I am very happy and will be very dedicated in my service delivery to the community I serve. Thank you to all who made it possible for us to learn, acquire and retain in memory POCUS for the betterment of Gulu district.
