i survived!! at least for the last 5 days! Alhamdulillah, a week had passed; i didn't cry and the patients didn't die...hihi, i know i know i shouldn't be joking about something like that, but can't resist!! it's quite unbelievable, but i had been working as an MD for a week now. it was..undescribable...i've mixed feelings about it, well actually i was too busy to even think! can't deny i am a bit elated about it all because i don't really feel exhausted at the moment considering i was on-call last night.
let's see, the first day was scary. i was so clueless, and here i was having to discharge patients, insert cannulae and prescribe drugs. but the nurses have been most helpful, thank you sisters! and to my SHos too, thanks for putting up with my bleeps for the dozens of failed lines, hihi. speaking of bleeps (pagers to some :P), it has become the bane of my existence. well maybe not the bleep itself but the anticipation of the message it carries," hello doctor, can u come over, we need a catheter!" argh, and i had to do 3 lastnite on-call. my first 3 catheters, god bless 'em (not the catheters, but the patients :P).
it was tiring, physically and emotionally. people seems to want you in several different places at one time. man, they do work interns like dogs! everybody wants a piece of you, the team, the nurses, the patients. but at the end of the day, it all feels worth it.
the new place is not bad...just a bit messy from the previous tennant....and the fact that she still havent moved out is not helping matters.
to my loyal (and probably the ONLY) reader..yes, you :P did you miss me? i'm sure you did. anyway I missed you!! hehe
gawd i better take a nap before i stop making sense.....
