Why am I in a profession which forces me to show concern for people who mean nothing to me, and at the same time takes me away from those I truly care about?

EPL EPL EPL!!! Life has begun!! Football season is back again and boy is it promising to be good. MU still strong, Arsenal still playing beautiful football, Chelski buying up all the players in the planet, and Liverpool... er oh they're all the way down there. oops

Saturday and Sunday just wasnt the same without football. Now there can be life after work

All seems quiet here... guess everyone must be busy with working life. Sigh... so lazy to work after convo break. Must apply for next leave, at least got something to look forward to.

i intubated a patient last week my very first one. i failed once where the epiglottis is almost coming out from the throat. i don't think i will become a anaesthetist. wah. it was very underpressure when the ett just could not past through the larynhx and the spo2 is dropping. hey, what to do you are the only doctor in the ward, MO was in OT, nurses staring at you. luckily mary is with me that night.

anyway. i will be back to KL on monday, 11/8. looking for any kaki to go and have a couple of pint if possible. see you guys, bye.

Hi everybody,

Alan and I went to Bahau last week. It was a spur of a moment decision. Bahau is about 15km from K.Pilah. Bahau is definitely bigger than KP. More shops and food choices. Population mainly Chinese. Guess what, we played Daytona there.

During my last call I had to send a patient with GCS 6 to Hosp Seremban at 2am for an urgent CT brain. He was intubated and I had to bag him all the way during the 45minute journey. The road is windy and I was nauseated. This is evil, but I was secretly hoping that he will have a bleed so that he will have to be admitted to Hosp Sban or even neurosurgery HKL. The CT scan showed no obvious bleed, but the Seremban Surgical MO oncall decided to admit him anyway. I took a sigh of relief and (happily) pushed the patient to the Surg ward at 4.45am ... and guess who was the Surg HO oncall? Fabian. He must have been damned chuak to see me with this patient at a crazy hour like that.

... that's not all. When Fabian was attending to my patient, the staff nurse said: Dr Fabian, patient yang kat belakang itu asystole lah. Long live all housemen in the world!

oh what hell ipoh sounds like compared to the rest of you. anyways, no big complaints since i'm already stuck here. was on first call yesterday night. had two polytrauma cases left over from the night before. damn man's BP going up and down all the time. the other guy has been transfused with like 7 pints of blood already, gone through 2 DIVC regimes..... i hope he doesn't overload tonight.

had to attend some orientation today. stupid people. we have all been working for more than a month already and they are teaching us how to fill in lab forms and check blood now. might as well do it when we end our postings. radiologists are people from hell as usual. kept insulting HOs like they are God and knows everything. well, well.... mustn't blame them....afterall, they are the only ones who can see so many tones of grey.

on call again on friday. first call also. no light from heaven shinning at me i guess.
