andropausal men
this is my happy week...
had only one call this week in the convalescent block... plus 2 days without duty... ie no clinic no meeting no grand round whatsoever... purely ward round and wait until 5.10pm to to start my blue ying each day... and prepare for the long weekend trip to qingdao with my rabbit...
there's a tiny piece imperfection... my plan was to discharge as many patients as possible by the end of the week... becoz i'm expecting a heavy load of new cases by the time i'm back... next week will be tough... i'm having 2 calls without postcall dayoffs plus grand rounds and unit meetings... it's going to be the unhappy week...
the plan didn't go right... it's thursday and i have plenty of time but none of my patients is fit to go... zero is a deadly figure... signifying there's pure input and no output... it's worse than constipation... it's basically intestinal obstruction... what's more i don't have a channel to vomit... so it's close-loop IO... a fatal scene...
what's more i'm bad luck enough to have some very "un-ding-able" patients (long since i used this word!)... they are men in their andropausal age... being very anxious looking and very concerned about their health... asking the same questions about the same tablets and investigations each morning... and bombarding me and my senior to offer all kinds of investigation within the same day... o gee...
i wish i have harry potter's gown so that i can disappear each time i walked into that very ward... this chap will appear next to me no matter what time and what i was doing and nagging me about the same things which i have explained to him a cillion times over the past few days... a few of them were powerful enough to drive me crazy today...
i don't mean to offend these people... i believe i still have the passion to "take good care" of my patients... but don't think women are troublesome... the neurotic men are even terrifying... one of my patients had a "reminder" entered in the computer by another doctor to be "a manipulative patient"... another had an "alert" in the computer saying "history of violence towards medical staff"... this is not funny...
