Post Call

It had been a long drawn out day for me today. A typical post call day when you suffer from lack of sleep. Was interrupted a few times through the night, not to mention a couple of admissions in the early hours, which I had to catch up with as soon as I turn up for the morning rounds. This was followed up by clinics and other routine admissions.

So, by the time I was done in the afternoon, I was struggling to stay awake. I crashed on the couch as soon as I reached home and was gone for a couple of hours. Just managed to get some shower. But unfortunately, I would be on call again tomorrow as one of my colleague was under the weather. It worked out well since there was a symposium going on during the weekend and me being free on Sunday, I might be able to catch up on a couple of the sessions. I misplaced the brochure though, so I was yet to find out the venue.

It was a gorgeous morning when I woke up and the drive to the hospital was a nice one. But the lack of sleep seemed to catch up on me ....
