habits

met up with my fellow medics and qeh interns this week... happy chats... almost everyone is complaining about their new units and are recalling their old days in the 1st rotation... even for those who worked in hell before...

guess we all have this intention to consider what we first learnt as the "proper" way how things should be done... any change to it has become so unacceptable and stupid... can't believe we young smart doctors are all so stubborn...

now different people have different practice... i notice many doctors have a strong tendency to consider their habits the "proper" ones... whether junior or senior... and then because of this they tend to change others' management... actually when a patient is NPO... it doesnt really matter whether it's 2D1S Q8H or 2D2S Q6H, or hartmann Q4H... the patient will be able to regulate and will be fine anyway...

i dont really appreciate this business of changing other's management when it is simply not your way... especially in a hospital where a patient is seen by so many people... sometimes my seniors cancel things written by others and tell me USUALLY we dont' do this... well it's not your habit doesnt mean it's wrong... and think we should always give a little respect to others...

a little secret

before i started this blog... i had an email address to which i wrote emails to myself to keep a diary... i literally talk to myself in the emails...

obs admission call

hurray, finally managed to find this place where i can access the internet... i was told this place for years and yet was unable to locate it... (that's not very me, i have to say...) the department has been sending me emails about the meetings... pity i only check my emails twice a week... that's also why i'm posting less frequently...

today's my first obstetrics admission call... it's the toughest call in O&G... becoz these mothers-to-be rush in any time they like... not to mention women from across the border tend to come in after midnight... i attempted going back to my room this afternoon... but was beeped right when i stepped into the building... i'm psychologically preparing myself to a non-stop no-sleep night... tuning myself to the state when i was doing medicine... the good thing is i'm off 0800 tmr... followed by facial & massage combo...

beeped again, to be continued...

some facts

new rotation... new working environment... new routines... new colleagues... new rules... and more rules... and plenty of rules... why does this hospital have so many many rules??? why do they have so many many papers to print a warning letter for everything??? why should interns attend workshops on their days off??? why do they need 5 ml blood when a test can be done with 2 ml??? why do they hire expensive and inexperience interns to do jobs of a clerk??? the HCE and COS hardly walk into a ward to see for themselves what should be done by whom...

i just came into this little conclusion... no matter where i go... i'll meet nice ppl, bad ppl... reasonable seniors, reasoningless seniors... wise minds, brainless minds... good nurses, b*tch nurses... i guess that's life... and it happens everywhere...

i think it's time to learn to ignore ppl who're worth ignored... and keep myself happy... and be conscientious... do and do only what should be done... and remind myself about all these facts...
