Name:
Location: Singapore

A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Yikes...

Saw one of the admissions today, and after the post take ward round, my Consultant took the team to a corner, looked at me and said, "Your patient looks deceiving well. But he will be the one patient u will never forget in your life when he collapses on you suddenly and dies. I had a patient like that when I was a house officer, and the next minute he was in ICU before I knew it."

Now that did scare me. And true enough, this patient deteriorate in less than 2 hours...not critical yet..but definitely not looking that well as before.

Yikes...*worried*
