It had been Quiet

Touch wood. It had been civilised thus far as my call went. A few admissions earlier and I think I might be able to catch some sleep and get on with work tomorrow. Hopefully there won't be many interruptions tonight.

I have a clinic at Park City tomorrow morning, followed by another in Subang in the afternoon. And the clinic in had been hectic lately.

As for tonight, while waiting for calls, I decided to update some of my website. I might get grumpy if I get to bed early and got woken up by a phone calls. Might as well get myself occupied.

Good night all.

Reflecting on 2014

2014 had been eventful to put it mildly. Both on a personal as well as professionally. And it had also been an eventful year for the nation.

The aviation accidents made the headline of course. The flooding in the last week, the glooming economy. All were the hot topics on the gossip table. 2015 doesn't look much better either.

GST would be the main issue I had. It would be a nightmare unless some planning and help from the hospital were coming.

Moving forward, it's very likely that I would be scaling down my clinic activity at Park City. I loved driving there but lately with the amount of work I had at Subang, the journey was just not worth the hassle. I planned to drop the number of clinics I do there, maybe having sessions only every other week. I would still come over if there are referrals of course. That would free a few of my mornings to concentrate on the patients I already had.

I am on call today and already the hospital was full. The beds would open up later in the day and I expect the admissions to line up later tonight. Better have some rest before the queue starts.

Happy New Year all. And my new year would only start later this week after I get some rest from today's call.

Five in Two and a Half

I was done with a busy stretch. 5 calls in 18 days, akin to what I was doing as a houseman. Except that I still run my clinic, do my procedures as well as attending meetings and doing a lecture last weekend.

Now it was time for a rest. A couple of days away from the hospital for Aidil Adha to be spent at the apartment with Anita and the boys. The boys would have some homework to do no doubt, and I might have some time to look at some paperwork for next week where a firm I consulted for were having their credentialing assessment.

But for tonight, time to chill. To have a good night sleep, wake up early for prayers tomorrow morning before visiting my parents.

To all my colleagues, friends and relatives, Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays.

Post-call Blues

It was not often that I caught myself unable to sleep on the day following my on calls. Usually, the challenge was to stay awake. It was different for some reason today. Part of it must have been due to the fact that I found out that United were playing tomorrow evening rather than tonight. Shouldn't paid more attention to the fixtures next time.

Anyways, tomorrow morning would be another long rounds but I planned to go straight to Mid Valley after that. The KL Photography Festival was there this weekend. Let's see if there were anything fancy in show. And I'd better get my wallet tucked in. I overspent the last couple of times I was there.

Good night.

Quick TV

There was always the issue of heading back to the apartment when on call. There was always the risk of the phone ringing the moment you got into the car. Or worst still, it went off the moment you reach home.

I always tried to delay the return as Kate as possible. So, after a quick sit down at the lounge, I decided to leg it.

Hopefully no more phone call. Clinic tomorrow morning. Good night.
