On being on call

Wow! Can't believe how heavy it rained just now. I noticed some debris were flying near the construction site at UMMC just then, it was that bad. Now the rain has stopped and we were bracing ourselves for admission at the Trauma Center. I will be on call tonight.

But it wasn't half bad actually. Gone were the days when I was on call for 56 hours at a stretch. Gone were the days going overnight without food, just keeping awake on adrenaline alone. At least now I can afford to go home after the evening rounds and expect calls to discuss emergency rather than physically having to be there. Can't complain really!

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.

First day back

For some reason, I was feeling more exhausted than usual today. Some might say that age is getting to me. It maybe true. It's just that I was feeling more run down than usual. It may be down to the fact that a lot had happened in the last few days and all the excitement may have gotten into me mentally. It did not help that I zoomed off to Kuala Kangsar on Saturday to attend the doa selamat at our new house.

My father-in-law was doing OK although I still have to visit him every night to administer his jabs. I will also be to his house early tomorrow morning to draw some blood. He is due for his test then. If his INR comes back OK then that will be the end of his injections for the time being.

Another thing Puan Anita pointed out was the boys going back to school. Everyone was excited and so was I. I could really do with a good night rest. Habibah will be attending a course in Ampang Hospital tomorrow morning, so it will be another long day. To cut a long story short, one might say that I was really looking forward to tomorrow. Well, it could be worst!

Being organised is a relative term but this is the most organised I have been for weeks!

It's Tuesday. It is the day when I don on my pink shirt and determine not to see any patients but to concentrate on just doing paperwork, research and some reading. Got in early and start going through my in tray and got a lot done. Unfortunately the work just don't want to get away. They are just piling in. Not to mention one of my aunties just arrived asking me for directions to visit my uncle. Well. Work has to wait for a bit.

My Uncle is now doing very well and will likely be able to leave hospital by the end of the week. Yup! I managed to go through a pile and planning another assault this afternoon patient permitting ....

Finally the Day Care is done. Transplant clinic next! Then another meeting.
