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)

Alan... i have no bloody idea. doesn't ur ICU have one, according to our GA all units must have one before ventilators can be used... hmmm

i am careful, that's why i got a dog to protect me.

What is a respiratory technician? Can he come and teach our hyperventilation patients to breathe properly?

Chong Tien... I would be very careful if I were you

Hehe, that is a good one, Carren.

chiew leng... i would be very careful if i were you

errr... by Deningau i presume u mean Keningau.

Actually using Streamyx here, lousy place cannot get JARING, so have to use the faster broadband service. hai... the trouble with rural areas.

the only constants in each rural town of Sabah are KFC and BSN. whole Sabah 2 cinemas, both in KK. DVD in short supply, dark by 6pm, no night entertainment. No wonder procreation rate is so high here.

Craving for Pizza Hut... must go down KK cm for it.

Ciao

next time try calling Keningau

we have free ventilators perpetually sitting in ICU cos our GA refuses to ventilate patient without the presence of a respiratory technician

It has been really hot and dry up north here in Alor Star.

Actually someone up there needs a CBD.

On-call yesterday, spent 5 hours calling 9 hospitals in 4 states for ventilator.

On-call tmr.

Happy New Year wonder wat it'll bring.

it has been raining for the past few days.
it seems that the heaven is crying for those who died in the tsunami tragedy. mass grave all over with hundreds of thousand of body which consist of mainly children.
is this a punishment from above that it struck the poorest spirit on this earth?
is this a result of our own doing? pollution/greenhouse/ocean dumping?
is this truly a 'Natural disaster'?

god does not cry for no reason.....
for those who did not weap, please say a prayer for yourself at the last minute of your 2004, that we do not deserve to live than the victims, but we survive for no reason!

3...2...1...0 happy new year.

reinvited MC

Invite Ming Chern

Can someone invite Ming Chern to the blog? His email is mcleong@yahoo.com

Ei Fab, where are you la?

Phi Phi Island decimated. The Maldives a sprawling graveyard.

Sigh... time to look for some other holiday destinations, gang

heard you guys in the West could all feel the aftershocks of the quakes.

Penang quite badly hit, who was on call that day? must have been hell.

Amazing what one quake could do, so many lost of lives in India and Sri Lanka, poor things. good thing Singapore was protected by Indonesia, else would have been submerged.

Actually, good thing for Sumatera, in between, otherwise damage and loss of lives in Malaysia would have been much heavier.

No news yet of Adeline...
