A Journey of a Meaningful Day

Woke up in the morning with runny nose. Flu-like symptoms since yesterday. Have to go back to work after two days weekend break. Received a phone call while driving the car, saying that I have to help review patients in Medical ward. Fine. No big deal. Joined the morning pass over.

Indication for intubation: 3CAR
1. Cerebral protection
2. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
3. Critically ill patient
4. Airway protection
5. Respiratory failure

POP duty today. Joined the busy clinic.A patient's son (not the one I attended) simply decided to become rude and argued with the nurse. Serve you right ( statement for the nurse). When Cynthia and I was new to the clinic, we did feel annoyed when the nurse kept calling patients in even though we haven't finish dealing with the previous patients. Cynthia did ask the nurse,"Do you like it if you are being called in but then have to wait and stand in the busy clinic because the doctor is seeing other patients?" The nurse did not reply and she kept calling patient in earlier than she should. Hah, today, she received the reward. She called the wheelchaired patient in when there was no empty seat yet. Who wouldn't feel angry and hot tempered when you have to push your dad in a wheelchair and stood there waiting like a fool? So the man argued with the nurse, he tried to cool down, but his ego was just too high.They settled it somehow. At the end of the clinic, the nurse came to me and cried on my shoulder. Hmmm. Moral of the story? Even though you are more senior than others in certain places, you could just listen and respect other people's opinion and ...be more considerate about privacy.Let patient wait outside, sitting on chairs rather than standing inside and blocking other people's way.

It was raining during lunch time.Five of us got together, bringing up old stories on how we met each other.Can't believe that we are all in our 5th posting already.

Rounds...I joined the surgical medical block today. Not many patients but have to travel to different wards.Did two wound debridement..the smell was untolerable.At 7pm, I was still in the ward. Had to rush for tonight's plan.

Rushed to meet a sister in the mall. It was our first meeting...but she seems so friendly with the salam and cheek kisses.Nice lady, making me wanna have a sister.(Since my sisters in law don't really act like one). Rushed back home. Ayah and mak were waiting. They dressed nicely. Had dinner at Gelugor to celebrate mak's 54th birthday. Happy birthday mak!!! Abang called on Aliff's behalf when we were eating. Aliff wanted to ask for his grandmother's birthday cake. So cute. If you want, ask your ayah to bring you home.Went home and cut the cake. Ayah bought a vanilla cake so that he also can have a piece of it.Its a small cake, enough for the three of us :) 2nd April...mak's birthday...

Now the chlorpheniramine is taking its effect.To be continued.
