Fright nite

I'm on call today ..surprise..surprise... but my call today is the call wanted by all ! Its APS ( Acute Pain Service ) call.

well, what i basically do is providing acute pain service to the post op patients. In the morning i will visit my patients in the ward who is already on epidural analgesia or PCA ( Patient controlled Analgesia ) and check how are they doing.The thing is , by 10 am this morning i was free.. and macam jobless la jugak.. then after friday prayers , only 2 patients to review.. and again.. macam jobless. Though i;ve never tagged for this call , so belasah jer la today. Basically , what i do is wait and attend my patients if there are any problems or in severe pain in the ward. haks..

sounds macam takde kerja kan ? haks.. ut at the same time , i am also the substitute ; if multiple op are done at the same time , i maybe pulled into one of the OTs and run the show. so cam , depends on my luck ahh.. haks.. Anyway , now we have sufficient manpower and that is why we can afford to have one extra man here.. when he dont have enough people , then the one doing paediatric call will have to do the APS job which can be annoying at times..

I started this morning with 9 patients ,discharged 5.. and now at 7pm.. the list is climbing.. having 15 at the moment....
