the end of 3rd month..
my stint in this team has come to an end; tomorrow being the change-over date for the MOs. the month of january has been quite a fruitful and enjoyable month, and i am sure my fellow teammates will agree with me.1. the workload is definitely manageable, despite that the list exploded towards the third week such that more than half of the ward comprises our patients (it is supposed to be a cardio-resp ward btw..). but towards the end, i have only 6 patients!
2. I have some time for self-study, regular sumptuous meals outside ttsh, and also attended most of my tutorials that i am supposed to attend.
3. We saw a variety of patients, other than those pneumonia/UTI/skin infections in the aged. it ranges from hemato conditions like thrombocytopenia, to endocrine cases like HHNK, addison's disease, to rheumato cases of rashes and more rashes, etc.
4. Our team is good. the consultant is very nice (though the rounds can be quite long) and we are able to discuss the cases during round. Other than the morning rounds, most of the times u are on your own - which is good and bad. good bcos i can be a bit garang and order things myself for new cases in the afternoon; bad bcos there is no fixed registrar in the team to back u up. my HO is good - fast, efficient, not dangerous.
5. It is an aircon ward heh!
sigh unfortunately, from tomorrow onwards (and for the whole of this month), life will change very drastically. Busy ward, extraordinary consultants, non-air con. though i really hope that despite all the bad comments, something good will come out of it.

oh yes, i am post-call today. my impromptu CDC2 call (impromptu becos i was called to cover someone 2 days b4 the call..) - and i actually have one new admission of query chikugunya fever. i think it is more like a URTI. but anyway the usual garang me ordered a hell lot of investigations!!
