I'm shattered by yesterday's on call. It was a very very busy day yesterday, and I went past my working hours once again. I'm not grumbling, because I had some really lovely patients, and their smiles were my energy boosters.
I think I need to work on my speed in clerking, and need to start reading up. I can feel my knowledge level declining by the week.
Didn't have a very good day today. I was piled up with numerous jobs, but that was ok. I guess I wasn't in my best mood because I was tired, and didn't smile as much as I normally do. Plus I had a patient who was quite rude to me, which pissed me. He was arguing with me about the treatment he was having, and me being the doctor, having the prescription chart in my hand, I couldn't have been wrong in telling him what medications he had taken in the day. But he continued arguing with me, and even after I checked with the nurses, he still insisted. I wasn't angry at him insisting that he's right, but I was upset about how rude he was. If it was the Consultant he was arguing to, I bet my Consultant will tell him straight in the face about his attitude, but being only a junior, I had to tolerate with his nonsense because I can't risk my license with any complaints this year.
Sometimes I just wish I am blessed with the skill of being extremely sarcastic, and I'll gladly use them on patients like him. It's when I meet assholes like him which really provokes me to wanna climb up the hierachy ladder as soon as I can. I had enough of rubbish people getting on my nerves just because they know I'm a junior doc.
Had a hard time with Radiologists as well. I dread talking to these 2 radiologists. I'm not trying to be racist, but it so happens that those people who give me trouble all the time are of the same race that it just changes my opinion of them. It was only a simple Xray, nothing too difficult. All I wanted was to clarify my own findings, and that fucked up asshole made me stand there for 10 minutes listen to him preach abt how busy he is, and even dare give me the bloody excuse that he doesn't have a computer around to load the Xray I am asking about, when for fuck's sake, there is one opposite his room. Sometimes, I think lazy bastards are just damn good at wasting time talking nothing but cork, when they could have jolly well please everyone else by just spending that oh so precious time of his to look at one simple xray and give me an answer. In fact, it'll take up lesser time than the time he spent preaching. I was so irritated that I told him that he's wasting his and my time, and with the time he spent telling me how busy he is, he can jolly well load the xray and solve everyone's problem. But then again, I'm sure this idiot must have heard the same comment from a thousand others who must be cursing him behind his back, that he so calmly told me again that he's busy, and got no time to stand up and go to another computer. CCB...if he's so fucking lazy to even stand up, why even bother to work? People like him shouldn't even have legs in the first place, shouldn't even be healthy in the first place...or shouldn't even living in the first place....such a waste of this world's resources, PLUS what a waste to bless him with health when so many others out there are struggling their ass off to survive. To hell with such people! I shan't be that nice to those 2 people the next time.
Back to happier things.. :)
Dearie passed his telephone interview for his application to take part in the China Future Leaders' Programme, so he's invited to go for a formal face-to-face interview, and if he does well for it, he'll be heading for the States for conferences held in US prestigious universities for abt a week. Apparently, it seems like a tough one since students from the top universities in China have applied for it too, and the first rounds of selection is done by looking at your academic record. Am glad that at least Dearie managed to pull through the academic bit and the first round of interview.
I won't be in touch with him if he is lucky enough to get selected and decides to head for America. He claims that it's a good opportunity for him to take a look at how US is like, especially the top Unis there, since he is so hoping that both of us will apply to do a MBA course together in the States in future. Honestly, I do wish to do a same course as him, and I'm sure my parents will feel more at ease since we're most likely going to live and study together. But with the rate I'm going, I don't know if I'll have such a chance.
I'm sure I'll be missing him if he gets to go to the US, but this will be a good exposure for him, and will be something to boost his CV. Anyway, whatever the outcome is, whatever decision he makes, I will be supportive of it.
Shall get on to do some impt stuffs now, before I head to bed. Pretty tempted to stay up a little to call him (missing him badly..), but I don't know if I can last till then...
