Hi all,
sorry to dissapoint but i'm still here. saved by my frequent calls i guess. was on call on christmas and was in OT on boxing day drinking coffee before going to assist senior MO on a left over appendix case. tot i was swaying cos of water in the sink that i filled full of water (it was stuck) was sloshing n my senior MO tot he was hypoglycaemic cos he was post call too. of course we chucked out of the OT later when brought to our senses by more alert OT nurses, the anaesth MO went deeper into the OT, initially i thought to bring the patient (not under GA yet) out but seems he was trying to book one ventilator for himself first (so he said)

cant imagine my first tots were "heyyyy!!!! it's my day off, don let anything happen that may need me to evacuate etc instead of taking my break.

my colleague in the ward was educated in Indonesian med school so had experience of this kinda thing, she was asking nurses to evacuate patients. turns out some fella with BKA who complained day n night, looking very infirmed was the first one out, rushing in his wheelchair.

i'm in ortho now, doing combined ortho surgical calls (double yucks). cant wait to get out. not into bones n carpentry n definitely not into II suits (gives me muscle ache and resp distress). rate of MVA in manjung quite high, hmm must be the long straight roads, very conducive to racing. our unfortunate lack of HO (bout one per department n none in ortho) means i am still being sent to accompany patient to hosp Ipoh (some things never change)

if ur reading this yan wei, yup i'm still here but rather busy n tired cos i'm still tagging in surgical ortho (yup, 10 calls a month, again) sorry but it's true. chun wearn thinks i'm rather cursed when it comes to frequent calls. how's anaest? r u having fun gassing people up?

anyone received any income tax forms?
r we supposed to get some penyata gaji to fill those forms? i heard we need to pass up the income tax forms by feb but our penyata gaji wont be up till then?? what bad timing

i send n intraab case to taiping the other day (our surgeon on leave). din see anyone there (cheah, ling sze, etc) but wow, taiping is a real LOOOOONNNNNG hospital. i mean the AnE is long, the wards are long...... Hmm i'm not making any sense here. yeah this is my first free weekend in like a month n i'm stuck doing some stupid presentation due on tuesday. well go to go. on call tomorrow

see u guys n take care (ooops sorry, this is adeline abusing carren's address)
