Happy Monday Morning

It was raining heavily when I set off this morning, making the usually heavy traffic to work now heavy and slow. Took me close to 90 minutes to reach the hospital and it was 9.30 when I finished the ward round.

I then set off back into town, again facing heavier traffic than I expected. This time to accompany Anita at the dentist. She didn't know that I was coming, and our driver told us when I called that try were late to reach the clinic. So, when I reached the Tawakal, Anita was still with the dentist.

I was waiting outside at the waiting area, with sound of drills coming from behind the door. Hmmm .... I was sure Anita was having fun!

Midnight Jam

After finishing my evening rounds, I sat at my brother-in-law's room, then had a late dinner, before taking a breather at the Doctor's Lounge. Chelsea was spanking Norwich then.

After the football was done, I decided to head back to apartment. Which route should I take? The rather boring NPE with 2 toll booths, or the more relaxing drive along the Federal Highway. Shorter and usually faster past midnight. I decided to take the Federal Highway.

Bad move. They were resurfacing part of the stretch between Sunway and PJ. The two inside lanes were blocked, and the queue was horrendous even this late in the day. It took me around 40 minutes to drive what usually would take around 15 minutes on a typical Saturday night. Grrrrr!

KL Back to Normalcy

I overslept this morning, and driving from Gombak to work, I paid the price. Put it this way, I was reminded of how the traffic in KL was actually like. The crowds were back, schools were opened. and the customary an hour's morning commute to work was back. Bless!

I set off well after 8 and by the time I reached work, I was rushing already to start my morning rounds. Luckily thee was no clinic for me on Monday mornings. I was able to take my time going through the cases, before returning to the apartment for lunch and to pick up the Wii console we left there yesterday when we rushed from Bangsar to Gombak.

Afternoon clinic was a lot lighter and I was able to catch up on some paperwork, and of course ad the news. Last weekend was a busy one with all the admissions after the Raya break and visits to friends and family.

Heavier Than Expected

I woke up late this morning after going back to bed after sahur. All due to staying up to watch the cycling at the Olympics last night. Woke up at 9, scrambled to shower, then out to get for my morning rounds - no clinic today being Wednesday morning. I was not expecting the traffic to be bad this morning, and I ended up getting into the ward just past 10.

Luckily I did not have that many to see, and soon, everything was sorted out again. Apparently, the traffic jam was just due to the sheer number of cars. It eased off right after the LDP intersection, about one kilometres from the hospital. I should have used the NPE instead if I were to leave a bit later than usual ….

Not So Early

After sorting out my clinic and ward patient early this afternoon, I prepared to head home at just after 4 to check on Idlan. A quick look at the exit, and I knew I would be delayed. I then took my time, got a drink and check on some results before setting off. The traffic eased off soon after, but while it lasted, it was pretty bad.

Right round the corner is the private school, Sri KL. the students ended their school hour just after 3, and the whole place would be packed during that time. Traffic both in and out of SDMC would be bad while the students cleared the place. Time to avoid the area at that time.
