Feelings

It's quite wierd when my mom appeared at my workplace... in the same ward i was working... while i was working.. as a patient...
low back pain... one of the kind of cases an ortho HO on call would like for new cases cos it is simple.. but my mom came in the afternoon.. ended up she was clerked by my colleague taking care of the side of the ward
she improved andi typed her prescription, MC and memo to doctors.. really wierd.. but that's not all, nurses start telling me she look so young and they would have thought she was my gf.. wife... haiz.. i look so old meh?


I actually wanted to type this long ago.. but guess too lazy to do so..
really wanted to tell dear how i appreciate her coming to meet me at 11pm after my half call at the hospital's kopitiam.. nothing beats meeting a smiling loved one after a long day at work.. almost cried..




Convocation was over in a breeze.. for me it was a great chance to meet friends that are struggling at other hospitals.. sadly i couldn't get to take pictures with all other people in the cg.. as usual the elusive ones like weijie and wenlong gave us the slip..



actually wanted to upload more photos.. but blogger now is real slow.. some other time perhaps.. blogging frequency reduced to like once per month.. too busy? or too lazy? :p

Post B'day

Found a cosy place for food and chit chat: Han's at great eastern building along south bridge road..
Food is so so but at average of $8.00 per set and cosy seating with no waiter/waitress or crowds bothering you at the seats, find it a good deal.
Had a great time catching up with gp, falconz and ep.. Especially with falconz who never failed to wake up a gang, who were initially sleepyheads, with his jokes.. Have to thank all of them and Dear for making such a wonderful birthday dinner..

2 months since the start of work.. Still find myself quite slow at times.. take about 30mins per new case.. wonder how i can survive med posting in future (if there's 20 plus admissions per night, not to mention the "salt and vinegar" passives of plugs, bloods, caths, collap....
Don't think i am advancing academically too. Really de-conditioned in ortho.
Low BP, chest pain - refer cardio
SOB - refer respi
Postive culture - refer ID
DVT - refer haemato.
Never seem to solve problems ourselves.

Post op: nearly everyone is diet of choice unless otherwise stated. Hopefully i won't pass the habit to surgery.. will get killed when i give someone with colectomy DOC immediately post op out of habit..
Must think think think..

Guess i will get more worried as days go by.. wondering how my brain will handle med and surg posting.. kind of regret starting a slack posting. but what to do.. chosen liao..

Will be meeting classmates soon on 3rd July. Boy it had been months.. hope they will look well, good and healthy.
