Dreams in motion
Been having this very strange recurrent dream lately. OK, maybe not recurrent, but similar themes 2 nights in a row. It involves me approaching an old, run-down shack alone. Made of concrete and wood, and there's no one in there. It has like 4-5 rooms, one of which is perpetually locked. I'd be commenting to myself that there's this strange smell, and would inevitably try to peer into that locked room half-expecting to see a rotting body in there. Of course, it's empty.
Awfully creepy, isn't it? I'm quite sure it's something subconscious pinching at my mind.
It's an awful time to try and invest in anything I think. Every time you think it's hit a low, things slide a little further. Yes, even stuff like property (not that I can afford even a single room, lol). Oh well, shall just have to pry my itchy fingers off the "buy" button for now, even if things do look very attractive.
Got some good news last week, which essentially frees up my entire end-of-year period and allows for some holidays and planning. Pretty fun!
On the downside, the establishment has gone completely nuts. In this new system, you will find that:
1. MOs clerk every single new case
2. Registrars may have to review ECGs, set difficult plugs and attend to vomitting patients
So what the hell do HOs do, you ask? Good question.
I'm so against this new system, and it's definitely not because of some subconscious I-used-to-do-it-so-you-should-too mentality. A call for HOs if for you to learn - not textbook stuff, not consultant-level management, but how to survive. And this includes prioritizing between a new case of community-acquired pneumonia and a case of bleeding gastric ulcer that came in at the same time, while another one or two clowns decide to start vomitting after office hours, 2 plugs to set for antibiotics and bloods for cardiac enzymes. To me, that was part of the learning process - learning how to multi-task at night, and knowing who to see first, and what to do first.
OK, enough of grousing. Need to do some stuff now.
