long weekend

hurrah... off since friday pm... free from work for complete 2.5 days... very very happy... i'm treating it as a mini holiday... i'm gonna read read and read this weekend since i'm suffering from severe knowledge deficiency... my senior must be thinking i'm so bad since i literally cannot answer ANYTHING he asks... haha

on call yesterday... a patient had a tension pneumothorax right in front of me... SpO2 rapidly falling down to 70% within minutes... very scary... inserted a chest drain and it rose back to 97% within 10 seconds... i finally understand what it meant when i was taught about this tension pneumo business... so dramatic... wah very ying very happy...

update

day 25th of being an MO... still am getting used to things... (note that present continuous tense is being used here)... nothing much worth mentioning... no it's not boring... but... just don't wanna talk about it...

right i've completed the 2000-piece puzzle in the speed of light... a very ful puzzle... rarely, i completed a task much much earlier than expected... i'm the same old me... i spend hours in the puzzle in order to escape from my book work... and i've no idea where to place it yet... anyone interested this classic coca-cola postcards picture please let me know...

hihi krispy kreme

it's not the first time i mention here that i luv krispy kreme... mochung told me that it's opening in causeway bay... superb... causeway bay... not tsim sha tsui... not mongkok... not central... but my cwb and my krispy kreme... isn't it wonderful???

so i won't have to wait for mochung to come back to bring me the donuts... i'm willing to put on a few pounds for it... (have lost some since 1st july anyway...)

i have always wanted to bring it to hk... but i dun have the experience and more importantly the money to do so... it's planned to be mochung's first business after he finishes undergraduate and has gathered some millions... however someone else is doing it... no wonder mochung is a bit upset about it... o...

golden ying

the golden ying is falling sick... ai... the steering wheel became very stiff after it crossed the tunnel today... fortunately i managed to bring it to service... i have nothing to drive tomorrow... what a bigbig problem...

i believe he's demonstrating his frustration towards having a new brother... he must be worried that we'll dump him... nono golden ying we won't... we'll keep you for as long as possible... meanwhile you need to get well... please please... i cannot go to work without you...

getting used?

instead of "how do you do?"... i'm greeted with "getting used???" each time i see somebody, esp the MOs... well yes, life is slightly easier... although i still have a big collection of patients and am rather confused about my management plans... i'm getting a bit used... yesterday i left OPD before 5pm...

today... for the very first time i left my office at five sharp... i didn't know it's so amazing... i started the golden ying at 1703, reached the cross harbour tunnel at 1719 (and there was NO queue!!!) and home before 1730... am very lucky today... o well...

last weekend was splendid... it was tough having to work on both days... but i was so happy when i bought this 2000-piece cocacola jigsaw puzzle that all the hard work was forgotten... am extremely happy... didn't do jigsaw for ages... gonna spend all my spare time in it (and forget my studies)... aim at finishing in a month... yeah...

improvement

my day one was a total mess... not difficult to imagine... all patients are new to me, and i had to go through problems of each of them... plus me deficient in knowledge and experience and even luck... i made some improvement on day two though...

i sent 2 patients into into ICU on day 1 and only 1 on day 2, a 50% drop... (n.b. there're ~20 beds in ICU, 3 of them are my patients... think me almost made a record...) nono i'm not the reason why they went into ICU, i must clarify...

i only managed to take a bottle of orange juice on day 1... i got time for tea and time to chat with people the next day...

spent 4 hours to see my 16 inpatients on day 1 and 3.5 hours for 19 on day 2... plus discharged 2 patients... yeah...

today was off for ACLS... very good... let's hope i won't die mane...

milestone

another week has past... this week is like a milestone in my life... i'm finally saying goodbye to the university... the internship is over and we are all fully registered... yesterday we celebrated it with lunch buffet in the island shangri-la with my beluved buddies... nice nice food... and then i visited guen's mimi... though i aint very good at communicating with miaos... the kitten is very funny and luvly, very energetic...

it's even harder to believe i'm an MO now... i'll have to take full responsibility of my patients... o dear... i dunno a thing... i cannot imagine what'll happen mane... who will help me out??? nobody... the burden is so heavy... very very scary... i seriouly think i'm worth my salary... o well...
