我会想念colorectal surgery

不知不觉已进入第五个星期了，
来匆匆去匆匆的wardround，
做不完的paperwork，
一切即将告一段落。

突然觉得有点不舍得。
三个interns都很好人，很好相处。
最让人羡慕的，应该就是其中一个intern
宴请我们吃北京烤鸭来慰劳我们吧！
去到paediatric developmental disability，
应该就没有这种福气了。

Prof是有点可怕，
但是他的人也很特别。
尤其喜欢看他生气的时候apply他的anger management technique。
他会说：“I am going to turn off my switch."
重复几遍，直到他可以控制他的气。
他对他的registrar很严，
对学生还不错。

总之，我还是会想念colorectal surgery ^.^

Sleeps

Even if i sleep 9 hours during weekend,
still can't make an average of 6 hours of sleep per day
=(

Zzzz...

Oh third year!

We have third year med students on our rotation,
I am so proud of them!
One of them managed to get the IV cannulation done today!
That's like much much better than me =P

I was eating lunch with them,
and then when we were about to finish,
I said, "Let's go take a history and then I can sign your log book!"
(p/s: I looked and sounded so excited)
Then one of my colleagues said, "Why are you more excited than them?"

Hmm...I am deprived of history taking and examination for the past 3 weeks,
Yes, I am yearning for one!

I should leave some of the intern job behind and go do my own learning,
but I really pity my interns, they havent had lunches for the past 2 weeks...
I feel bad not helping them...

We make sure patients are on Clexane,
We make sure patients have their TED stokings on,
We make sure they have enough painkillers so they can mobilise,
We monitor them by monitoring the bloods and obs,
"obs stable, afebrile"
"good"

We just never listen to the lungs during wardrounds.
Just don't have the time? Or not necessary unless they are symptomatic?
Hmmm...

We had a very sick colon cancer patient died from PE.
Well, we have tried "our best" to prevent it.

灰色星期五

Colorectal surgery 是个噩梦,
对intern们来说。
永远取悦不了大老爷，因为他的要求太高，
甚至太不合理。
听说大老爷有情绪管理问题，以前会摔东西，
但现在好了些。

星期五，
很好的registrar放假去了，
很神秘的locum registrar请了“病假”。
整个部门由一个parttime的registrar顶替，
太多东西做，很多紧急的病人，很多麻烦的病人，
还有没有预料的死亡，
intern们喘不过气来。

我做完他们交待的paperwork,
五点三，拍拍屁股走人，
可怜的intern们，
还没有吃午餐，
还有做不完的工。

晚上下雨，听说墨尔本淹水。
hmmm...哎...

大老板要回来了

下个星期一肠肛大老爷要回来了，
听说他很严厉，很不友善。
中老爷这么说，
小老爷们这么说，
就连路人也这么说。

希望他刚放完假，心情会比较好吧！
不然接下来我可就心情不好了。

我们的job description：老爷们的跑腿，吸血僵尸及陪笑团。

Nice To See

The first time I saw her across the desk,
she was asking the intern some questions.

I asked the intern who was next to me, "Is she a Japanese?"
"Yes, Japanese." answered the intern.

Just feel nice to see a Japanese nurse on the ward.
Soft and sweet.
And I will look at her secretly every time she appears within my visual field.

Something to appreciate in my very first rotation: colorectal surgery.
