Selling my youth to the hospital
Sigh..it's one of the rare occasions where I get to sit down and blog.
I should be enjoying myself like the other youngsters out there, having gatherings with friends, having a nice cup of tea, going shopping, and of course, dressing up like all females my age do.
However, here I am selling my youth away to the hospital, and becoming a slave for $$$. Sigh. That's life of a doctor. And no matter how tired and pissed off u r, u can never finish with clearing cases, since the pile keeps coming.
Like every Monday, A&E becomes a madder madhouse. But today has gone madder than usual. It was a nightmare trying to clear cases in the non-fever clinic area, and just when I was relieved that the cases are finally clearing, I got sent to the fever area, and when I entered the fever zone, I was welcomed by a whole swarm of patients and their relatives standing everywhere. There's hardly place to walk. And pity those who r really ill, and can't even find a seat to seat down and rest.
And there in the consultation room was a thick pile awaiting to be cleared. Frustration comes when u've finally cleared them, to find that another pile is being thrown into the slot again.
That's my life everyday in A&E. And the only perk is the thought of getting my hard-earned pay at the end of the month.
Gone were the days where I still get to think abt meeting my friends, or even go on a date. Weekends have become almost non-existent, and something u even have to specially request for.
I really miss my friends, and there's really quite a number whom I do want to meet. One of which is my long-time buddy, Lemon. Haven't met her for yrs, and it's very sad that I rarely get to talk to her anymore. Just sent her a belated bday greeting a while ago, and honestly, I'm feeling very guilty abt it.
Can't rem when was the last time I had a proper date with Dearie as well.
Attended a wedding on Saturday, and the guests who were ard my age were all happily mingling with their friends. I did feel pretty much out of place, not just because I was with my parents attending this family wedding, but I felt as if I was in a completely different world from these young guests. Everyone was having a great time chatting with one another, getting intoxicated, laughing etc, whilst I was sitting there wondering what time will the dinner end since I've got to get up early for work the next day, when my nxt day off will be, what should I choose for my next posting, when will I get my nxt pay, and when will I be able to pay my first installment for my nest.
What the hell...
