The Storm Before the Calm

It had been much busier than expected. A couple of patients had a bad turn and they all needed sorting out. A few also needed handing over before I leave for my Kyoto Trip tonight. It had been a long day. Mixed in the middle, the drive to ParkCity, as well as meeting up with Puan Anita for lunch. Plus a quick stop at the apartment to retrieve my MacAir charger.

The clinic was also busier than anticipated with a couple of admissions. When I finally got things sorted, it was time to rush back home, have a quiet dinner with the boys, getting ready to get to the airport. I'll probably be asleep as soon as the plane took off.

More entries from the Kyoto trip here.

Post-call Monday

Post-take days were always more tiring than the actual on call days. Add to that the phone calls which would probably interrupt your evening about the patients in the ward. I tended to let my schedule be empty form the days after the calls.

And last night was a busy one. I managed to get the post-call round sorted out early, but still I had to cancel my clinic at ParkCity. I was too tired to make the trio across town. Anita also came to the hospital to see one of my colleagues about her fever. Test results excluded dengue, but she had to be put on antibiotics for her cough and swollen tonsils. So, we hung around for lunch before she left to pick up the boys from school.

I then took a short nap at the Doctor's mess while waiting for the afternoon clinic. Luckily, there wasn't too many patients. This was followed by a long ward round before I finally managed to leave for home in time for the United game after Maghrib. My mood didn't get better with the lethargic United display. Deservedly, we were knocked out .......

I was just been woken up by a phone call from the wards, and since then found it difficult to drift off back to sleep. Tomorrow would be my packing day for the trip to Kyoto on Wednesday night. Better get some rest ......

Quick Drink

A quick drink at the Lounge after arriving to the hospital extra early, not realising that it was the school holiday. So, I got to the ward well before 8, and finished the rounds by 8.45. Better chill before leaving as I don't think there would be any patients waiting at ParkCity.

Let's try new route shall we ...... GPS permitting!

Full Week

Suffice to say that I had been busy for the last few days. Too busy to pen down an entry, although I had been tweeting quite a lot. I guessed I should've had an extra couple of days off. But the work days had been long.

Saturday came and it was time to chill a bit. We would be attending a birthday party this afternoon in Shah Alam, and Anita had been out all morning visiting her friend who had recently had a baby. I was waiting for her to return before we set out again, plus the boys.

But in saying that, Anita organised for us to go out to watch a movie last night at Pavilion. Luckily I didn't have to do the driving. I was too tired after work. More about what we watched later. Needed to get change for the afternoon out.

Glorious Sunrise

On call today. And was called in last night. As the call came by around midnight, I decided against returning to Gombak and spent the night at the apartment instead. And I was treated with a glorious sunrise this morning straight into my bedroom.

Shame that I had to go to work early this morning. I would have loved to have a nice cup of coffee, enjoying the sumptuous morning. Well, I have to go earn a living .......
