I knew it! Monday, whether day or night, is usually a ‘high flow’ day… It was a mad scramble to keep on top of the queue, and it’s only know that I’ve had time to er hem… checked my email, read a few pages of really dry statistics stuff and decided to blog a bit…

For once I really scolded my patients ie. the NS guys x3 who were obviously well (therefore no MC given) and this middle aged lady who woke up with a sore throat (she had URTI symptoms the night before). I couldn’t understand why she had to come to ED in the middle of the night for such a complaint and I really asked her why… She seemed a bit dumbstruck and a bit frantic… I think she started to scramble out of the cubicle. Haha… I don’t know manz… I mean I don’t mind if patients came for a non-emergent complaint which made them ill enough to want some sort of relief, but sore throat?
