Hopefully

Posted by peanut on Tuesday Oct 20, 2009 Under as a HO

Yea, hopefully, this mark the end of my very very hectic HO life for the time being.

Because of Deepavali and a lot of senior HOs taking their end posting leave, I was left in a 30 people ward with only 1 partner. Stress.

I do things slow. What to do.

Tak sempat. There are few times when the MO came to round and I didn’t even finish or didn’t even reach that patient yet. So cham.

Had been working and working and working and still there are stuffs not done and there are stuffs missed out. And I still got a few pending discharge summaries to do. :(

Was oncall yesterday so forced myself to come back and have some rest before the next on-call, which is 2 days from now. Sigh. I wonder how I am going to survive this in the long run. I always told myself to prepare food whenever I wanna on-call since the first call but I always end up with minimal bread, and the next day will be so busy until my only meal since before call end up around 7pm or 8pm.

I wonder I can do things any more faster.

BUT…

Today 2 taggers came in. First posters just like me. But my boss told them not to review patients but can only tag along with us. So unfair. He gave me 5 beds the very first day I walk into his ward to ‘register’ myself. Anyway, with the ending of Deepavali, most HOs came back and now it is 5 persons a ward, and now I have less to cover, thus less things will be missed out, and can concentrate more on increasing the medical knowledge instead of working with my backbone onli. Hmm..

Had been scolded by MOs here and there.. LOL. But luckily so far most are reasonable. And at the same time met a few who is really cool and friendly as well.

MO-ship…. it seems so far away. But 1 month seems to pass very fast like this. Scary.

      It will get better, I mean once you get the hang of things and can speed things up a little. But then again I’m not in medical ward where everything is broad and you have to ask for so many thing…one of the good things in O&G is that there are specific questions to ask to patients while doing rounds and very specific examinations… nonetheless, all the best and let’s hope that we’ll pull through this just fine.
