here i am after a long silence..
well currently i am the sole intern in my unit..i have 5 PG (u can say they're like jr resident),3 prof..and 1 me..so all the menial work goes to me and me only..no matter how swamped i am no one will help me..
today i was running around the hospital up 4 floors..down 4 floors..typing discharge summaries since they all have to be submitted by 12noon..and i had 8 in total..which the prof decided to discharge them at 11am..so i was running out of time..and of course no one to help me..
i got pissed off along the way..i shouted at some sisters..then they nicely asked me why am i angry today..sorry sister..some of them are nice..some of them are annoying..
but by the end of the day i was very happy..my pg rewarded all my hard work with an LP..i got to LP with minimal help..he was only keeping the patient in position..i pushed the needle myself..after some push and pull CSF came out and it was clear..i was so so so so happy!!!after that i went home smiling..grinning from ear to ear..i might've look like a crazy person..
like my mom always say.."you r always happy when u stick a needle into someone..or do stitches..or dressing..and complain when they scream..what if it was u?"..hehe..true..if it was me i would feel the pain..i hated needles when i was a kid..i ran away..and cried like anything..my mom keeps reminding me of that..but if i empathize i wouldn't be able to do all of that..how will the patient get better??
last week i had my veins poked for blood test..i could still feel the pain..and the area looks bluish..
