Phew
My very first virgin ICU call is finally over, and it was quite toxic! And from what i have heard, all the people who were on call that day had it bad.Initially i thought that the call would be quiet cos from 5pm till 11pm, nothing significant happened. i managed to finish my night round in peace at around 11 plus, so i thought perhaps i should rest. but after entering the call room for 10 minutes, the nurse told me that one patient was tubed and on the way down... sighz.
I had 3 ICU admissions in total that night, 2 of which were quite sick and required inotrope support. one of them even had 3 inotropes but BP was still low.. and he collapsed on me in the middle of the night; and collapsed 2 more times in the day. likely from AMI. I had probably slept 1 plus hour in all.
It seems that everytime when the ICU MOs are on ICU call, the luck wasn't good. my two other friends who had calls before me - one had 3 HD admissions and the other had 2 HD and 1 ICU.
Was so tired when i reached home yesterday.. i actually slept from 5pm to 5.30am and skipped my dinner in the process!
