Poorly Irfan

When I arrived home, I found that Irfan was fast asleep, missing his Quran class. Anita was out at the time. Irfan is usually very active late afternoon, and love his Quran class since most of his school friends were there. He was baking hot.

The temperature soon settled after some mess, but I think I better stock up on some antibiotics from the clinic just in case. Poor boy ....

Post-call Lethargy

Just feeling tired rather than anything else with the on call last night. It was OK admission-wise, but the fact that's was at the mess until midnight, just watching TV waiting for patients was pretty exhaustive. After getting back to my apartment, insomnia set in. And as expected, the call came in just about the time I was about to fall asleep. So, the interrupted sleep made me groggy all day.

I woke up in the morning hungry. And right after I finished the ward round, I just had to sneak out for a quick breakfast. I didn't think I could function in clinic otherwise. That certainly hit the spot, and I managed to reach home early - just after six, after setting off early. And now for the weekend ......

Stocking Up

Did some groceries shopping on my way from ParkCity back to Subang this afternoon after realising that my fridge at the apartment was almost empty. And I would be on call tomorrow. Knowing my luck, I would always felt peckish when I returned after my late evening rounds.

Stocked up on the drinks and chocolate bars, and of course the microwave dinner just in case I had to see cases after midnight.

Late Nights

It had been a busy couple of days and last night, I only got back home around 10 pm. It was nice to meet up with colleagues after a while, catching up on the gossips and all. As for today, few complications in the ward needing sorting out.

Last night, I was at a meeting discussing the upcoming society meeting in Penang late April. This was followed by a lecture given by a Professor from Athens, giving up updates on latest treatment for myeloma. Something I heard when I was in Atlanta in December, but the opportunity to ask question was priceless.

Then came dinner. And this was when the gossips came in. A few memorable stories I must say ......

A Myalgic Day

I got up this morning with a sore throat and muscle ache. Tried to ignore it but by the time I finished my shower, I had to take some paracetamol. It got a bit better, but by the time I reached ParkCity for my morning clinic after the rounds at SJ, I felt slow again.

The sore throat was less, and on the drive back from ParkCity, I decided to stop in Telawi for a quick lunch. Rather hungry.

Unfortunately I have a log day today. Clinic, then ward rounds followed by a meeting at KL Sentral. Then a lecture after that to listen to. God give me strength. But first, lets have some nasi lemak ....
