Worst Post-call

Er.. though it's my first post call, may have worse ones to come...

Got last patient to clerk at 630am.. Altered mental status.. Cannot get any history from him so examined him and found nothing. Could be drugs.. Anyway, completed the clerking form and awaited MO to review. Who knows he's stuck with a talkative patient's son.. Fortunately he promised to review immediately after his patient and told us to go off.

Morning rounds as usual, then blood taking.. Unfortunately, supervisor was lurking around. Caught me and wanted to observe me take.. Wanted to prove i could do it.. quite confident of the vein then missed.. (Well done right?)
"I thought you could get 2 for blood taking in the first week.. Now.."

(Jialat.. why so sua?)

1230pm.. supervisor still lurking..
"Can meet you guys at 2pm today?"

"Oh.. we had night call last night.."

"Oh then never mind.." (Whew..)

1245pm... supervisor popped by again.
"I know you guys are post call but stay back at 130pm for a short session?"

"OK"

130pm... practical tutorial.. emergencies tutorial... on and on...

430pm
"OK that's it.. sorry for keeping you all... I'm afraid i have no time till the end of the posting to test you all again that's why.."

32hrs in hospital.
