Finally able to get through the entire night without feeling sleepy, and actually slept a whole 7 hours this afternoon thanks to YX.
Felt slightly annoyed last night though. How come the HOs nowadays are so slow?? In all seriousness, I do remember seeing 90% at least of cases before my MO even appears. Now, I get a text message regarding a new case, go there an hour later and the case is still un-seen. That is unacceptable. Oh, and they have the luxury of year 5 students tagging along, doing mundane bloods too. Ended the night with a big bang when someone spilt HIV+ blood all over my shoes - thank heavens for those Crocs!
Also, got quite irritated by one of those non-local people. The current system is as such - the half-call guy works from 5:30pm till 8.30pm, when he stops taking new cases. The rest of the next 1-2 hours, he spends it tying up the loose ends. So in the best case scenario, half-call person goes home at 8.30pm, though many of us have stayed till 11pm to finish up everything.
Now, I received a call at 8.35pm from the half-call, non-local person to hand over cases. And these included shitty things which could have been done if he had stayed to finish things up, as he should. Stuff like checking blood results etc. So that was peeve #1. Then at 9.30pm I got a call from him to make a referral for a patient. Apparently he had left, and the Reg called him up about it. Unfortunately for him, the patient was in my mother ward and my lovely nurses spilt the beans on him - he had rounded with the Reg barely 15 mins ago, and the Reg had asked him to make the referral then. WTF. Impression marks: zero.
Disgusting.
