have shamefully neglected to update my blog these days since i’m simply overwhelmed by this permeating sense of fatigue. i sometimes just wish i can just keep on working and working, cuz once i stop i just feel sooooo exhausted. -_-
it’s like just the previous day, i had a call. “YAY”. so that call was super fantastic, only having FIVE admissions, but then, i knew it was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, and true enough, it was payback time the next day. had a bunch of discharges, loads of CTs, 2DEs, TCDs to arrange (and sometimes u gotta beg, goad, and even threaten the radiographers into giving you an appt) and then we had a huge bunch of D-1 to do. With the added fact that we would be HO-less the next day, our post-call became a usual work day. having new admissions coming in at like 4pm. -_-
but of course all this is just the run of the mill daily lifestyle… we were so bogged down by work becuz of ONE PSYCHOTIC RELATIVE who just gave us (and many other members of the staff) HELL for a few days… a significant amount of time was wasted on them cuz we had to hide in the prep room (exchanging tales about other problematic relatives). i would GLADLY write a psy referral (only it’ll be to IMH, the farther away the better).
got home. fell asleep DURING dinner, dozed off WHILE in a conversation with my mum (where she did most of the talking) and then got so awake ard 11pm that i slept only ard 1am in the end… thus repeating this vicious cycle.
i am becoming more and more like the smurf in my msn display picture. i just need to become BLUE.
upcoming post: a typical medical history from a junior doc (on call)
