Exam Day

I was stuck outside my own house in the rain again. This time, with Celcom signal deserting me. Stuck in the car and can't call out. I think there was something wrong with the transmitter. No signals! So twidling my thumb in the car while listening to some podcast.

I spent the day examining all day. Total of 6 hours examining can do your head in. Rather tired but I still have an order of business to attend. I have to get Habibah her wedding present. With the rain this heavy, I may have to ask Anita to do the buying tomorrow. I was expecting a huge clinic tomorrow and with Edmund and Habibah away, things were going to be tight. Straight after work, we will be leaving for Melaka. And the boys were really looking forward to that.

So it really is a toss up between going out or staying in. A man got to what a man got to do!

Moving along

Don't you just love it when you come across a day where things were falling into places and stuffs get done. Today have been one f those days for me when I went through a lot of paperwork and managed to kickstart my research projects.

Currently taking breather from work and catching up on emails and writing this short note. Need to go through a stack of notes next before calling it a day. I might take the boys out for a drive later if I reached home early enough and they were still in the mood.

Ancient stuffs

Walking towards my ward fom my office, I passed through the newly refurbished Microbiology Department. They were clearly in the process of clearing up their cupboards and left stacks of old documents and files along the passageway. I was surprises that it went way back to the opening of the Hospital. Since there were no omputers back then or even if they do, they were sensible enough to keep hard copies, there were rows of them.

Which brought me to a thought. In the age when we were trying to move towards paperless invironment, are we covered should the paper trails go missing. Imagine if the results were so important that varification was needed, can we survive just by using te computers? Will they be pemissible in court of law? Scary thought eh?

Chuckles

For some reason, this poster brought out a chuckle. I always had issues with my IT Department for not being able to provide the level of service I expected, push emails, less censorship for social networking sites since most of my patients actually contact me via twitter or Facebook nowadays for advice etc. Now they were having a roadshow. Good luck to them!

Discharge!

My Dad had his CT scan earlier today and now he was allowed discharged. I was rather tied up with the ward duty and was only able to sort out the bills and stuff right at the end. He was really bored by now and he was really glad that he can go home. Back to his usual magazines and TV. On my end, I was giventhe duty of checking his blood until his Warfarin dosing stabilise.

Irfan and Idlan were in good spirit at home. There will be a small matter of Sports Day coming up this Saturday. He did not tell me which event he will be participating. Managed to free my Saturday morning to be present.
