1 month down

And so, for our pains this past month we had a lovely hanabi dinner treat from our boss..

How come they dun have this 'thank you' dinner at the start of the posting instead?? It's so weird having to relax and enjoy yourself with people who chides you almost on a EOD basis, then finally u relax enuf to enjoy yourself at the end of the dinner, and you think, awww too bad we're leaving the team soon already....
I think it's all a ploy to keep us on our toes the whole month, work us to the bone and then send us off all nice and relaxed to the next team to have the process repeated all over again.
I enjoyed the dinner tho, although i confirmed that my appetite has really shrunk to pathetic portions. The bosses' impression was that most of the MUGA scan tracer activity is found in one person only, and that person is not me! In fact, i think i ate the least.

Haha and my con is really very funny, I quite enjoyed listening to all his tales abt his HO days. Really can't imagine how they get by then without the technology and the nurses that we have now.
The other day I covered Endo and both their printers broke down, and I had to discharge FORTY patients by hand, including writing out prescriptions and MCs, and on top of taking consent and setting plugs. I got a blister for my efforts, and nearly die-ded.

My con say next time HOs should just go around carrying video cameras, so instead of frantically searching for the yellow sheet and documenting down everything that was discussed, we can film it down instead. haha will definitely cut down my workload and stress levels by half.

Anyway, i've got mixed feelings abt moving on to another team. I'm glad because i think i would enjoy a change and hopefully leave behind the days of 15working hrs (non-call days) for good but sad, cos i'd really miss my friends, esp my fellow sufferee who slogged along with me till 10pm everyday (most days later) for those awful weeks. And I would certainly miss a few of our special 'friends' (my con coined this term, not me), some were there with us right from the very beginning, and as i passed these 'friends' over to the new peeps today, I marvelled at how well i got to know them (well, i should since I wrote a ridiculous number of blue letters for them) and felt abit apprehensive abt getting to know new 'friends' all over again.

Oh well, 1 month down.
I'm now counting down to my long leave (1 month and 11 more days to go) and then I'd be counting down to the days of post-calls, MOs who you see for more than 3hrs a day, no more of frantically clerking SDA cases on top of elective cases and most importantly of all: NO MORE LISTS!!!!!!
