life in RH

cold

there're so many things that i'd like to update... i'm just a bit too lazy...

have been working in RH... it's said to be a form of rehabilitation for me... quite true... now i have breakfast at home every day... this morning, since it's so cold, i stayed in bed till 8 and left home at 8.40am... and still i was on time for work... isn't it amazing... i think i saved more than an hour a day on travelling... not to mention the gas and tunnel fees...

i have a very heavy load of patients here... i've fallen into the viscous cycle where the other 2 MOs have very few cases and i have plenty... but still quite manageable because i work in the geriatric team... i begin to understand why people in LKB have 30 odd cases and still manage to finish the morning work in 2 hours... when patients cannot speak it saves a lot of time... only 4 out of a dozen patients can vocalise, of which around 1-2 can actually communicate verbally... (i was literally very excited when i could finally talk to my 8th patient on day one...) it saves some more time when majority of them are here for conservative, minimal invasive care... and when they're all in the same ward without the need to walk around... it saves time further!

people are nice here... they're quite senior... not as fun as my mother department where almost anyone would *play* with me... that makes life a bit bored... i've been sending of dozens of sms a day now... chatting with friends... calling up jjj for lunch... things i would never have time to do before... i'm glad jjj's here otherwise i'm absolutely friendless...
