Heavy Morning

It had been a long morning. And the main culprit was the traffic. For some reason it was heavy despite good weather. Probably a hang over from the heavy rain yesterday. It took me almost an hour and a half to get to work, and I was caught in another queue on my way to ParkCity. This time it was due to a stalled car along the Federal Highway and the tailback was easily a couple of miles long.

I only arrived at my clinic 45 minutes later. After the clinic, it was Bangsar for a quick stop at the bank as well as some paperwork using the internet at the apartment. Luckily the afternoon traffic was a lot kinder, although it looked as if there would be rain again this afternoon. Heavy clouds outside .....

Internet Revamping

It looked like ParkCity had made some changes as far as Internet access were concerned. We still get free Internet, but only with registered devices. So, I had to call the IT department and get my stuffs to be made legal!

But the officer was tied up this morning and I wasn't in the mood to wait. I'll catch up with them next week.when I return from my Raya break.

Since the hospital operate as a paperless unit, it made sense to secure the Internet and Intranet Web access. We can't afford to have a third party snooping into the system, prying on patients details and worth still, hack the notes and the various results system. It would create havoc as we didn't have a paper backup to access these data readily. A nightmare should the system be hacked.

The place also looked extra empty today. I only.had a couple of patients to see and was done by 11 am. Things were already winding down for the Raya break I guess.

Haze is Back?

I woke up this morning with the dread that the haze might be bad. A quick status check on Facebook read complains from friends and relatives that the air quality deteriorated somewhat as far down as Singapore.

Everybody were bracing for the second wave. The weather was certainly gloomy first thing in the morning when I drove to work. But by the time I head out to my clinic at Desa ParkCity, the sun was out, but yes, the sky wasn't as clear as it was the last couple of days. The stench was not out in the air as it was two weeks ago, which was good.

With Ramadan coming next week, we would be hoping for cool weather, but minus the haze of course.

ParkCity Picking Up

For the last couple of weeks, I found that the activity at ParkCity had picked up. Today, to my surprise, I actually had a direct referral from one of the local GP. And this was not to mention a few ward referral from colleagues.

Unfortunately, due to limited time, I was only able to be at ParkCity on my clinic days. Yesterday, since I have an inpatient referral, I drove there during lunchtime. Tiring, but doable, especially with a new referral which I had to see.

I noticed that a couple of new shops were already opened. No sign of the staff cafeteria as yet, or was I looking at the wrong place? The place was definitely getting busy.

Back to Business

Subang ward round. Then ParkCity, a bit of groceries since I would be on call today. Lunch. Then dropping the groceries at the apartment. Afternoon clinic next at Subang before the admission started coming. And yes, plenty came.

After a quick dinner, I just hang around at the lounge waiting for Maghrib and more admission. Hopefully they came before midnight as I could do with a bit of rest tonight.

Happy On Call.
