exhausted

had another bad call last night... okay it's only a little bad, not super bad... whenever i'm on call MO2 (ie sleep time midnight to 4am) i get to start working by 4.30, whereas others usually sleep till 5 or 6... last night a patient self extubated at 4.10... self extubation is a good thing for the case doctor... it saves the trouble of weaning the ventilator, provided the patient does not require reintubation, but not at four...

since then people keep coming in... a patient was found decreased GC by OHA staff at 4am... what kind of GC do you expect at 4am??? another admitted for 1 week history coryzal symptoms and chest discomfort... didn't see an doctor and decided to go to A&E at 5am, i almost yelled at her... at six i got an intubated patient... then an urgent consultation from surgical... i begin to admit that my luck for call times isn't too good... sigh... again it's not super bad though...

i fell deeply asleep within 5 mins after i reached home... gonna work again mane... no weekend... no rest...
