Lamer tak update. Sengal giler.

Mungkin sebab kemalasan, atau tak se-enthusiastic lagi untuk memblog.

Mungkin kedua-duanya sekali.

Previous post, I was starting as O&G HO, in a week's time I'll rejoin the Medical department, this time as an MO.

Takut giler.

Yeah, I did ask for it, but it still scares the heck out of me.

Fresh after finishing Medicine as a houseman, I could confidently say that I'd be able to handle the bread-and-butter cases. Uncontrolled DM? Check. Hypertensive crisis? Check. Asthma? Check. Pneumonia? Check. Procedures? Central lines, peritoneal dialysis? Done, and done. No problem.

But that was two rotations ago. More than half a year. 8 months, to be exact. Sekarang ni nak baca ECG pun lembap sikit. Ye la, asyik tengok CTG jek. Nak order ECG utk patient pun selalu tersasul cakap CTG.

Nevertheless, I AM looking forward to become an MO. No more 7 am start for me! I'll start at 8!! Muahahahahahahah!

Poyo ah.

My weekends are mine if I'm not on-call. Gonna need lots of free weekends from now on. Several projects on tow. All very exciting.

During my last few days in the department, I'm in charge of the Gynae ward. It's like the forgotten ward of O&G. We have to do night rounds, and have to wait until the on-call MO comes to see the patients. Most of the time Gynae ward is the last one. Which means your other colleagues from other wards would've gone back earlier, and there you are, sitting at the counter, looking at the clock while the MO rushed into the OT for an emergency Caesarean section.

It's SO not fun, I tell you.

I love Obstetrics, it's one of the most enjoyable rotation I've had (out of three, ha ha) but I find Gynae not as stimulating.

And because of that, I can't wait to finish (although I'm sorry to leave the department, as a whole).

Neways, apart from work, there are other things to look forward to. Don't want to jump the gun by saying too much, but let's just say that I'm *almost* officially off the shelf.

Makes me sound like a grocery item. Bleah.

Oh yes, I'm aglow with happiness. Really.
