One on call over.
Gosh, I was dreading today's on call, not because it's busy and full of new admissions, but because I had so many jobs to do in my own stable ward, and there was no one to help me at all. Everyone was on leave. Plus, I had to do a presentation too.
Dread liaising with other hospitals to get certain procedures done, because getting through via switchboard is a pain. It actually took me 2 hours just to get ONE miserable referral done because of the billion and one questions the doctor in another hospital had, and asking for all the documents which I didn't have available, and end up having to liaise with another doctor for it. Glad that's all settled now.
I guess I wasn't too myself this evening as well, after losing my painfully typed out patient list. Tried searching all the wards for it, but to no avail. Feeling pretty pissed abt it, because I can't really remember what jobs I have done for my patients now. Argh!
Plus, it's dreadful when I'm busy rushing with so many things, and have my bleep going off numerous times. Then when I turn up at the ward which bleeped me, I find myself being thrown more jobs rather than just the ONE I was bleeped for. It happens for every ward, so u bet it was testing my patience for a bit.
Obviously, it doesn't help if I am already so busy, and then so unfortunately, have jobs whereby I have to put venflons into very very difficult patients. Honestly, at times like this, I really wish nurses have the ability to do venflons here...saves us a lot more time.
I was so busy rushing here n there that I forgot to eat dinner, and I only realised it when my stomach was growling. Good thing I've got some leftover fried rice in the fridge, or else I'll find myself munching on biscuits again.
Anyway..back to happier stuffs...
My presentation went really really well!!! :D
It was a presentation for the entire hospitals, and unfortunately, my Consultants who promised to turn up, couldn't do so at the last minute because of an emergency meeting. Sigh..so I was left to represent my entire team without any support. But fortunately, I have a group of buddies (my fellow Houseman friends) who turned up and helped to cheer me on. It was nice having Samya smiling at me while I was doing my presentation.
The Consultants and some of my other senior colleagues were impressed, and they actually gave good feedback to my Consultants! Hehhehe...at least I didn't think my weekend worth of work has gone down the drain.
Oh gosh. Running late now. I better give Dearie a ring before shooing off to bed.
