As I will be living on my own... AGAIN... I think I will update it regularly. http://delrina.blogdrive.com/comments?id=442 http://delrina.blogdrive.com/archive/441.html Thu, 09 Aug 2007 13:06:36 GMT I had a nice foot massage today, so nice that I had to let my mom drive the car cos I was sleepy. The massage itself was pleasure and pain... but what is pleasure when you never experience pain? Chewah... philosophical pulak hari ni. All day I've been watching TV: catching up with MTV and Channel V, laughing with The Ellen DeGeneres Show, gawking at how Erra cooks Japanese fish broth and make it look more complicated than it's supposed to be in Chef Diva, watching a rerun of Desperate Housewives and a little bit of the film Alexander. Then went for a foot massage, had a lovely iced coffee,...

Despite of being a mere 15 feet from the screen and having to strain my neck up to watch the whole action... that is. I http://delrina.blogdrive.com/comments?id=440 http://delrina.blogdrive.com/archive/439.html Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:08:40 GMT There is such a thing as pre-on-call syndrome. It's when young doctors wear a grim expression, arms flailing over the place when busy, and tendency to snap at people when agitated. Some weirdos (me included) also has a tendency to (accidentally!) hang up on calls or tripping when climbing up stairs. And the call has not even started yet. Will be on leave for 4 days. Plan 1: Buy new shoes/sandals. Two shoes have been destroyed In the past 4 months. Plan 2: (Re)Learn how to drive. Plan 3: Manhunting. Plan 4: Dek Bee's birthday party. Sideplan 1: Rebonding. And make sure I...

In a way, I am glad as well. (Of course!) If I work with a boss who has a tendency to lash out and emotionally labile, I will be on my toes. I will swallow my pride and take it all in. But soon my emotions will overflow, and I will not care, because day by day I will have episode of 'kecil hati' that eventually I become 'heartless.' No, not to patients though: a small section of my heart is still well-perfused enough to accomodate them. Now that I am working with bosses who treat me...

In fact I just discovered that I've been too long in Paediatrics that I don't know much about adults anymore. I have to relearn everything again. Somehow I actually am able to function post-call. I can even watch TV at night without falling asleep. That is, on a good post-call day though. I learned to laugh whenever I can, because the opportunity rarely happens. And no, I still don't have a boyfriend. LOL. http://delrina.blogdrive.com/comments?id=437 http://delrina.blogdrive.com/archive/435.html Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:07:57 GMT I stumbled onto this fabulous piece of article about the author's experience of having intravenous fluids for recurrent asthma attacks when she was younger. How funny it is to read the perception of the 'punturee', having been the puncturer. Honestly I don't like inserting IV drips - being attached to two specialised wards consecutively makes me a dunce when it comes to managing general cases (let alone managing rare ones) and I lacked practice of inserting IV lines. Every attempt I will start with a breath of 'Bismillah' and hoping fervently that I will get it on the first try. Do you...

I actually took advantage of 30 minutes of rest on my previous oncall to take a nap before my blood taking at 12 am (yeah poor kids) so that I wouldn't be too hung up should I have to clerk patients at 2 am... which I eventually had to do. People who have never been sleep deprived will never ever understand what a sleep deprived person is going through. But I guess I shouldn't whine because it will be a lot worse during my Medicine posting. At least during this posting I can actually sleep...

I guess I should thank my lucky stars for actually having my leave approved so early in my course of work. It's not a casual leave -- I have to watch out for my two sisters who are starting school today. My roles are to open the gate whenever they're home, get food on the table and if necessary rush off to buy books and stationaries. Yep it's back-to-school time, boys and girls. Despite having leave, I got into a bit of an emotional mess today. I got emo on my sister and my brother, bit my nails while watching Bawang Putih Bawang Merah...

I guess I shouldn't be too peeved -- perfectly viable excuses, had to feel sorry for him, and I accidentally called him by another guy's name nyahahahaha. Work ain' too bad. Having a bit of a leave soon. No more 'every other night' on-calls by January. Getting the hang of prescribing drugs and IV fluids. Learning the BNF for Children. Will learn about dengue since 'tis the season. And I'm oncall tomorrow... shucks. For new HOs/MOs who just returned from overseas: 1. Buy at least 2 white coats. 2. Learn dengue and TB. 3....
