Trust me, I am a Doc.

Haven't been blogging since i started working as a doc in UMMC. Life is hectic here. Last month i did 8 calls (on-call every 3 days), and i had to work everyday even on the weekends as there will be weekend ward rounds. If i m on call, i will need to continue my normal shift post call meaning i will be working about 36 hours berturut turut with probably 1-2 hrs slp in between.

It may sound very torturing but actually i think i am still able to gain some satisfaction from the work i did. As a houseman, my main duty will be taking bloods, setting lines, giving IV meds, and also requesting early radiology scans for patients. And as the first-line doc i need to jaga my patients and if there's any problems i need to try and solve them. If the prob cant be solved then i need to at least stabilise the patients b4 the arrival of help.

Ok la... need to go zzz d. will try to blog more when i have got free time.
