hello.

this is a random entry about my night shift. both nights were shitty. but im really thankful for the great colleagues that i worked with. MUMMY, judy, qin, maricar, lj and kak nani. :)

first night was super km like shit. initially 5 empty beds. pm shift admitted 1 1/2. 1/2 cos pt came close to 10, so i gotta do the follow ups. haha. so left with 4 empty beds. what makes it worst,
- 2 pts heaven is waiting for them.
- 2 on dopamine. (and must top up like every 2 hours.)
- abx at 12, 2, 4 am.
- 9 r/t
- out of 19 pts, 15 on morn h/c.
1 of the super dil pt is in iso room. (multi mrsa)

the on-call also cannot make it. he got lots of cases to clerk. then admit 2 cases. 1 is rotten (dependent + r/t). the other is half rotten (assisted but mets ca). it was super heavy. me and mummy was on the go. we only went to toilet when our bladder really cannot take it. hahah.

halfway doing my hc, receved another call frm bmu. another pt coming. pt came abt 630. on call also km already. he clerked the case while i finished up my r/t meds n hc. by 7, i still havent done any changes. passed report first, then only did the changes. haha. and one irritating dr came just to ask me what am i doing in ttsh cos i shd be in a brothel. haha. irritating!

for 2nd night, initially thought it was okay. 3 empty beds. at least mummy got time to watch her korea. haha. abx, hc and r/t still no diff. but this time only 1 dopamine. haha.

it was an okay night, but the on call is the one that kills me. called her, and she will only come 1 or 2 hours later. 11 plus, a hypo k pt came. then 2 plus a thrombocytopenia old man came. both was okay cases. not much prob. then another pt turned hypo (both bp and hc). glucose and fast drip given. then okay.

abt 3 plus, did sponging with judy. halfway sponging, copd guy came. vre +ve. on call only came close to 6. at the most busy time, (r/t meds and hc) she clerking the new case. halfway doing the changes, reg came to r. hypo k guy needs urgent telemetry bed. its alredy 6 plus. running ard the ward like mad. and the irritating woman still haven do the bld test that the other dr order.

to cut a super long story short, i only left the ward close to 10am.

i wana do freq night lah. so i dont need to see the faces of the bitches.

okay bye.
