it’s SUNDAY.

it’s a day off for me (at least for this week). lazing at home with mom, dad, mary, along, uzz… even angah is back for a week. Nek pun ade. that leaves adik and acha – both busy with their lives. despite not having everyone around, it’s still nice to be home.

last nite, pegi makan2 at akak’s place. guess what was on the menu? home made ARAB dishes. kenyang gile makan, ok! with the lamb n soup n lotsa rice. the best part ade kurma and air zam zam. alhamdulillah. dapat merasa air yg we can’t simply get anywhere. semoga diberi ketenangan hati. and may it help me endure my housemanship. speaking of which, i’m already done with o&g last february. got a few days off before i started tagging in surgical department on february 18th 2011. since then life has been….well… hectic. draining. stressful.

hell? well, maybe not yet. a surgical ward is totally different from an O&G ward. instead of expecting moms with big bellies, i now deal with anything from the common acute appendicitis to  MVA with multiple trauma, UGIB, hernia, paraphymosis, onco patients, alcoholics with acute pancreatitis and the list goes on. so far i’ve only had 1 OT call. thank god it was with a cool MO – Dr Hans. unfortunately, we didn’t get that many cases that night. i kinda dread ward calls coz we have to know all the cases in the ward, and as for the ward i was in previously, even if it was a passive day for the ward, we’re still like an active ward, happily receiving admissions! ggrrrr!

i’ve been longing to blog but somehow have been too tired, too occupied with work. went online earlier and was approached by a junior, Kid , if i’d be free next week for a cyber conference amongst HOs and students back in Russia. will try and join if i’m free, aight? to fellow HOs reading this, hope u guys would join the conference and share some advice and experience with our beloved juniors, k? i’m sure they’re all so excited to be working soon! *wink* (contact Kid on his YM for further details, k?)

i’m signing off now. gona take a bath and sort out some call claims.

in case u’re wondering.. oncall on weekdays = rm100/call. and on weekends/public holiday is rm110/call. don’t ask me how it’s calculated. i know…………it’s so so weird, rite? =p

ciao!
