i feel like a zombie..

tomorrow will be my last day in surgery..

the last week for me in surgery was crazy busy..seriously crazy..i had no pg..i was running solo in  the hospital..no one to help me..had to take rounds with profs..evening rounds alone..do the neverending dressings..running up and down when sisters call..since my pg was on leave..they called me..i admitted patients on my own..posted them for surgery..do all the pre-op examination..the prof just came the next day and do the operation..

one day during rounds, i was leaving the ward with my profs..the sister ran to me and said " Dr, tell your intern to sign these forms.."..wow..so i was like the pg?? then i told her i was the intern..she was telling me that i work like a PG..sisters from other wards also thought i was the pg..hmmmm..cool..so i might have what it needs to be a surgeon..

last thursday..it was my opd day..we had one admission late in the afternoon..bad case of cellulitis..sir told to post for surgery that night itself..so there i was staying back late doing all the prep for the patient..surgery was at 8pm..my over friendly pg came at 7.30pm..he barely know the case that he was going to operate on..so then i assisted him..then when everything was over it was already 10pm..he sent me home..thats the upside of having an over friendly pg..

monday we had prepared for a right hemicolectomy..lots of preparation was done for that surgery..and man it was sooooo long..from 9am till 2pm..with me not even having lunch yet..one patient wanted to be discharged then and there..he just had a small laceration and wants admission..after sir telling him that alternate day dressing will be done..they decided that they wanted discharge..seriously?? those kind of patients are so annoying..like we don't have other real patients to attend to..

today..we had one appendicectomy case posted at 7am..i was so tired from yesterday..but decided to come for the surgery..went to the hospital at 6.30am..went to ot..i was waiting for that over friendly pg to come..sir came but the pg no show..in the end i had to assist..when we were just about to start the pg came..my senior prof was surprised to see me that early in the morning..

now i'm so tired to continue..i feel nauseous from those smelly wound..i actually vomited since i couldn't stand the smell..i want to sleep..hungry but dunno wut to eat..
