best call ever!

yay! i am sitting comfortably in ward57 resident room now... its 11pm! wow. i am actually free. not bad!

and *gasp* i realise i have a comment from EN! omg EN u put me to shame! i am a really incompetent person. serious. i cant read ECGs, i cant take a good and fast history, i cant read doctors' handwriting, i cant set plugs!!!!!!!!!!ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so pls dont say i am competent. i want to bury my head and hide. but anyway, it's nice of u to say this, though i really dont agree. hah. aww.

today is my first wkend call! and the longest call so far... spose to start at 11 but i only joined my ho at 2pm... my ho is lionel, and he is SUPER nice!!! feel safer taking bloods knowing that the ho would be on hand to help if i screw up... (which er is quite often i think. sigh.) and we had a resus case! ok not really resus lah, no need to intubate or CPR, but this is the closest i have ever gotten to see a "A&E" case! but luckily the patient was stabilized... then sent to ICU. whew. i sure hope he does ok!!! poor uncle. had to fluid resus him which means he was poked multiple times by different people... in the end he had 4 drips running at the same time!!! and he was writhing and groaning in pain all the while too... poor thg! it must have come as a shock to his family, cos he was supposed to be well enough to go home today... hai. jiayou uncle!!!

ooo and i think weekend calls allow for more bonding time with ur ho and mo... somehow for me nitecalls always pass in a blur! everyone just wants to chopchop get thgs done and go slp... so no small talk/chitchat/laughter. so it was pretty fun today! the mo jummy relegated me to do PRs... i think i convinced him that i was too lousy at taking bloods.. hah! so i did two or three rectal exams lor. sigh. cannot make it right... THEN! this auntie called out to us when lionel and i were done seeing a pt...

"auntie! auntie ah!!"

i shook my head. tried to clear my head. all the while thinking i must be hearing things.

"auntieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

lionel inched forward. i hung back.

and she ignored lionel, looked straight at me, and called me right in the eye; "AUNTIE! wo ai ga li gong wei!!!"

MY GOD. i am soooooooo traumatised.

i am an auntie at the ripe old age of 23!!!!

no wonder i have no bf.

time for cosmetic surg. er, dr woffles?! haha

sheesh!!!! thanks ah po. and my ho was totally unsympathetic! argh. thx lionel...

had dinner at kopitiam, sigh i seriously wish there were smthg new to eat! i am having loss of appetite from eating the same old food! and ooo my ho treated me!!! feel v bad, all the hos always treat us! they teach us, treat us, and all we do is give them trouble. haha oops. and i realised lionel is fr rv and hcjc too! were exchanging stories of infamous teachers... and the highlight was: we saw the auntie who famously offered lionel ginseng tea! gosh. auntie killer, this one... he tried to shove some money to the auntie, then the auntie resolutely got up from her chair and came to find him! like playing hide and seek lor, cos then he went running... haha! so the auntie pounced on me and forced the money on me! (i feel like the coconut tree... imagine two indians dancing around me... *starts growing leaves and coconuts*

and now qingyuan aka m5 and me are holed up in our w57! (i am so evil, qy is "scolded" by liqi for fighting for the sofa with me! though i am the intruder! cos i am not covering this ward one haha =P) ooo and we bombarded liqis blog and started talking rubbish! haah so fun! YAY liqi is bringing us donuts tmr! yumyumyum. my tummy sure overnourished this few weeks lor... morning teas, nice buffet lunches, liqi bringing us out this thurs, suppers sometimes when u have nice registrars who buy BAGS AND BAGS of mcdonalds for EVERYONE, and hos who treat u on calls! ok. gotta settle my cholinergic urticaria thg SOON and start jogging!!!!! hello fats. byebye waist.
