Busy Weekend

I had planed for a long weekend from tomorrow, but it looked like I would have to drive up to Penang after clinic. My Uncle was in ICU, and his condition did not look very clever. My Mum was already there, so I plan to head up there and pick my Mum up on the way back.

So, for this evening, we would still go out for our customary Friday evening outing. Will be catching some dinner after berbuka, and maybe do a bit of shopping.

I'd probably drive back on Sunday afternoon if things were OK in Penang. I should arrive back in KL just in time for the World Cup Final with Anita. As it stood at the moment, I'd better enjoy any free time I had. There would not be much over the weekend I was afraid ...

Football Time. Finally.

Done with the admissions and now time to enjoy some football. The second half of Argentina versus Belgium to be more specific. Maybe with a bit of food as I didn't have anything at the apartment for sahur later.

The game so far had been a cagey affair. This would be the first of the night. Netherlands would be playing later this morning.

The admissions had been ok so far, and hopefully I could have a nice night sleep with a quick morning round to follow. I had to visit my brother in law who was admitted at Hospital Ampang for an abscess. Looked like he may need an operation.

I might as well get this game over and done with before returning to the apartment. ‎

Late Start

I tried to be early for everything. But I failed miserably this morning. It was really busy and I was hassled left and right. I ended up only able to start my Park City clinic after 11.30. I did check earlier if there were any patients. Unfortunately there was. So, I had to come over, and it was after a quick stop at Ara Damansara. It had been one of those day.

Finally sat down in clinic and now the patient was late. Time to blog I guess as I was too tired to do anything else. Added to this was the fact that I have a meeting after my afternoon clinic today.

Looked like I would be hanging around at the hospital for berbuka.

Calling it the Night

On calls on Monday had always been a busy shift but yesterday was extraordinary. Not because it was Ramadan, it was the sheer number of admissions. Dengue being the main culprit.

I only managed to get bed at 3 last night, waking up early to start the morning rounds, with a couple of new admissions to see. Then came the morning clinic. Added to that the Day Care. I ended up doing the afternoon rounds early in order to get out of the hospital early for berbuka.

Unfortunately, the drive home took one and a half hour. Thank God I left early, not being able to see an admission at Ara Damansara. That case would have to wait until tomorrow I was afraid.

The Sky is Blue

The haze which threatened to come looked to have dissipated somewhat, but the heat was still felt. A welcomed changed as I could really smelled the fumes in the air last Monday.

But the relief was thought to be short-lived. With the hot weather predicted during the Ramadan, it might return.

Let's pray that that would be later rather than soon. ‎
