Learnt new stuffs today. Not as in really detail, but just reminded me that these are things I should read and find out.

How to manage an acute MI....which unfortunately has been somewhat forgotten...
How to manage a patient with acute SOB...
What to do before pleasing the nurses by prescribing fluids to patients just because nurses ask for it...
Warfarin dosing...

The latter 2 are not that well taught in medical school, and it's on the job which allows u to learn. I'm glad that I managed to try and work out warfarin dosages today without seeking very much help from my seniors. I know this sounds mean, but I'm actually using my patients (those on warfarin) as guinea pigs by experimenting on their warfarin dosages. If after a few days, the figures look fine without drastic changes, then I think I might have understood the logic...or rather..somewhat understood.

Did a bit of research on a rare disease. So that's also something new which I learnt.

Also saw a CVP line being put in. Super cool since I've never seen one before, but it's quite bloody lah..not very much for those who can't stand bleeding.

I was fortunate enough to get to chat with Dearie for a good 30 mins. He was telling me all about his friend's flings, and honestly, I'm kinda worried about Dearie being in too much contact with him. Call me paranoid, but casual sex with uncountable partners poses a high risk of STDs, and I definitely don't wish for Dearie to be infected by whatever reason. I'm sure my darling's straight, so no way his friend is gonna have sex with him (hahahaha), but these diseases spread through blood..and that can also mean via open wounds. I actually told Dearie to be cautious...hahahaha...and that did scare him for a bit.

Good thing I'm not on call tmr despite having to start work earlier than usual. Can talk to Dearie after work...yipppeeeee!!!!!
