An example of a bad day...

You just know its not a good day when u wake up in the morning with a bad headache..

When your eyes are watery and can barely open.. my eyes dah la 30% smaller than the normal population... Trying to fit a contact lens in is almost impossible.. This resorts me to wearing glasses, which i know will make me dizzy in 30 minutes time, especially if i walk on the streets.. + headache+ walking 50 mins to clinic = not good...

Timetable says : PN SH 8.30 am... apatu??? oh, practice nurse, sarah something...

As soon as I entered her room, although i super attacked by gelombang mengantuk (even after 2 caffeine tablets), i try to kasi her a biggest smile and good morning.. she balas with a 10% smile and 10% of a normal warm greeting that ang moh alwiz give.. n ask me go minum kopi cos she got stuff to do..

Sit in first patient : had to take 3 tubes of blood... ok, first 2nd tube ok..after third tube, as i pulled out, he start to bleed..ohh patient is on warfarin... great.. nurse tried to help compress, i try to reach for sharps bin.. dono how ter-cucuk her abit... GREATTT... the famous Needle- stick-injury..

huhuhu...sorii.. but muka masam campur masam.. ask me to type in what I did..
afterthat ask me go for kopi again.. I went this time..haha...

2 mins later, I walk on the hallway, ppl all look at me 1 kind 1... then another nurse came n say my tutor will take me this morning.. huhuhu..

Went in, sat with my tutor, haih, alot of questions i cant answer lo.. at least not in the way that he is thinking of.. I tot mayb he is not gona mention about the needle stick injury liao..but can never escape 1 la..

Towards the end kena abit of lecturing... haih, dono what to say.. the same same

'what is ur main problem?'

'y cant answer question?'

'y when sit in with other consultant also cant answer..'

I DID answer waddd!!!

' when I ask you to take a full history n gave u time, u seems to be doing it well, but why when u r sitting in its as if you don't know anything??'

and of course the : 'LANGUAGE PROBLEM'..

n then he say but speaking to you i don't think you have.. errr...apanii

THe problem is i dont know what my problem is.. Till this morning I still think I did quite well.. of course I could't think as good as u think..

U have been doing this for 30 years.. as soon as the patient walk in u know if they got tahi stuck in their rectum onot.. But i dont know 1 ma.. 3 patients with same symptoms, u kasi all 3 different management.. I dint develop that kind of judgement skills yet what..

2 patient with rigors 1 u kasi antibiotics 1 u do tests first..apanii..

Cough kasi sputum culture u say primary setting not effective.. then lecture me cos i cant tell u do chest x-ray.. buuutt so many patients come in u dint refer for chest xray alsoo.. I ask y, u say cos u dono what is wrong with him n u r worried.. but err the other patients also u dono wad is wrong wadd.. just that the level of the 'dono wad is wrongness' is higher in this patient?? n kan me for not saying ESR.. what can ESR tell u??? that stg is wrong??? but we already know something is wrong somewhere..

Haih, yah, I am just PLAIN stupid.. or mayb because of the needle stick i cucuk a hole already, then they start to dig in deeper n deeper...
