Heaven to hell


After starting a week on medical rotation only I realise that I have
been living in heaven while doing surgical nights. No paperwork, not
stressful most of the time, and most importantly, no unscheduled
overtime.



What I have been doing for the past few days include paperwork,
paperwork, and phonecalls.. Its pretty much compromising our active
involvement in the patient's care... as in examining, history taking,
or care planning, things like that. And instead, we are only busy with
writing drug charts, preparing discharge summaries, calling family
members, checking blood results...



It is indeed relatively much more relaxing, but I'm starting to worry
about the career direction I'm heading: to be a doctor or a secretary.
Hopefully time would tell.

The title tells it all...?

House hunting


Gosh no luck at all with my house hunting since I started it 2 months ago... the latest addition was a nice modern unit 10 minutes drive from my hospital... I thought I would have got it since there were only 2 applicants... and how bloody annoying it was when the agent told me the landlord gave it to the other dude... FARQ! 50-50 chance and I blew it again. Man I wonder if I will ever get a place nearby the hospital with such luck.

Nothing much happening in the hospital lately, has been having pretty good nights so far... though its pretty tiring to do 5 nights in a row. Can't wait to go home on this coming saturday. Can't wait to meet my parents, my girlfriend and my old friends. My precious 2 weeks holidays. I really really really need to spend it wisely.

Hope everyone is doing fine with whatever they are doing.
