Stress!!! Pimples are popping

The year's coming close to an end and I've to collect finish my data ASAP. So far only one of the senior pharmacist empathised with me because she also went thru' another DUE in neonates. 45/7 kid can have 8 tomes to read thru' @@. Most of my peers all said I read too slow at 1 subject / hr *cries*

Another 30 more to go. Thank goodness my co-researcher printing the blurd data for me or else gone case >.<

I am enjoying my current stint as I felt more in control of the situation. I do my ward checks without big issues and were able to provide enuff supply for my wards. I think I'm getting a bit too obsessive given that I will check with EP whether has any nite supply for my wards before I leave the hospital.

Met one dr who's the darling of the wards. Looks-wise I dunno but he's really on the ball-type. Wonder how he gets past his calls with so much sleep deprivation. Nurses were singing his praises that he appears in the wards before they can dial the number. And when I went up to the wards one nite to do an intervention, he went "Why didn't you call me?!" Diaoz - too on the ball liaoz- like me. But I'm a workaholic that may just burn out. Quite a few will likely to go "Si mi?! Ai kio wah si mi dai ji?!"

I think I burnt my wallet yesterday. Really badly. Bought several miscellaneous things, membership with Kinokuniya, the manager managed to find my copy of <<Comprehensive Dermatologic Drug Therapy 2E>> - so no nid to wait 2 months for shippment. That copy originally went MIA in the store. The manager called while I was doing rounds for discharges, i called, I held, she was busy then she called X2 then finally managed to get hold of her.

The book's really godly. All about things dermatologic. Not just topicals but anything that affects the skin. A bit disappointed though to see just 2 pharmacist swimming in the pool of doctors - we can do much better. The 2 covered the usual suspects - pk and regulation. EVEN GOT PEDS AND PREGNANCY CONSIDERATIONS!!!

Should I buy a book a month from Kinokuniya next time? But lidat must buy new book shelf every eyar =p My room's flooded with papers liaoz.

Got a couple of donuts from Pop Doh - their milk donut's good. The donuts were light. I think next time Sat lunch time may switch to Taka instead =p.

Today got Australian giving tok at OSSEA meeting but decided not to go. My Sophronitis cernua var. minerva blasted so it's a sign to be absent ^^. Anyway I got too many things to do on weekends. I nid CRIC - Complete Rest In front of Computer - but I'm still typing out my work and pre-reg stuff Zzzz

Yesterday at SBG

Dunno how come I arrived there with lunch so late. Normally, I'll be earlier, lunch in toll to read my papers while munching lunch.



Amazon water lilies - but we all know these are fake ones. After seeing the real deal in Thailand, one would know that these are hybrids. The real ones have flower buds looking like durians.

Gone case

I think this campaign is sorry not safe:

You know why?

Baiz Mrs Tan

Today I stayed back (as usual) but did nothing short of entertaining myself (sounds wrong) - farewell partay for one of our more senior pharmacist as she dives full time back into the relms of motherhood. Sad cases with the profession as many promising careers plunge back into reality in caring for the brood.

The outpatient people are really happening - they really know how to celebrate. We had fun and games and I made chocolate fondue again. They ladies were good at cooking. Shing^2 made her famous muffins with cream cheese topping.


Darn, did not camped in DDMs to scavenge thru messed up neonatal notes.

Now can sleep better

Had nightmares over my chewren rotation stint but after my assessment today, think can Zzzz better.

Dunno what happened, but I was told it did surprisingly well for viva. So ended up a bit loofy when I stepped out, tripped and fell =p

Miscommunication

I'm now on my O and G rounds of my pharmacy training and happened to chance upon a man with a young boy on my way to top up my water bottle.

Man: Sorry hor, you know how to get to the "free show"
Me: Sorry, what "free show"?
Man: "Free show" loh! My son every week go for "Free show". Every week he will go and play with that woman, what is her name... Aiyah, he will bounce and play around that woman is that "Free show"
Me: Exercise is it?
Man: Yes yes
Me: Oh, you mean "physio"(therapy) ar?
Man: Ya loh. "Free show loh"
Me: Directs man

No time ahhhhhhhh

Later when everything settles down then I start writing in retrospective.

Viva for chewren inpatient and outpatient, woman outpatient. The CIP can kill. Every time I cross the road, I just wonder how does it feel to be bakchored. Calculate TDM, patient developed a manner of complications and have to dose accordingly ahhhhhhhhh

Niece and nephew popped by from DownUnder. The kids are active but are generally well behaved. Now they flew back, Weiße's kinda gloomy again as he has no more playmates.

My Maple Pals were comprening my level had been noobified for a nong nong time liaos- no time to play mah.

3 topics to present a week, Alternate sats have 4 case presentation with all the island's pre-reg pharmacist, project with 80 cases to plow thru (neonate cases are really the most challenging by far - 40 day old = 7 volumes @@), 2 cases to present per rotation, 35 scripts to comment on with counselling points, feedback per session, self-reading to do, blah blah.

You decide as I go thru my DRESS case presentation.

It's a new rotation

Here i am, still in the abyss of the hospital looking or the meanings of NVD, LSCS, PROM, MTPT (sounds like NPNT) blah blah blah. Another burrage if topics to go thru in the new rotation while needing to go back to my old section to make up for the other topics.

Reviva seems to in the works, as onli 1 person managed to passed the ICU Qn; the other Qns are pending.

Went out before my weekly squatting poring over case notes and bought my cup of bliss - Saybon's seafood bisque - addicted liao. Point of no return. This time got a large cup and bratwurst shop's avocado chicken sandwich - their cashier all sound the same one. Oni the pony tail one more accented.

As i finished the current rotation, I wish i could turn back the clock. I'm a slow learner- and I just starting to enjoy and understand my role in that rotation. Unfortunately, time waits for no one and perhaps, I'm not destined to go there.

Will miss the docs and missies whom I made friends with. Will miss my wards. Now have to move on to the other tower where few men can venture outside. Need to exchange their numbers on Monday to keep in touch. But then hor, boh eng socialise now. Very much a failure.

Just saw my schedule for tomorrow nearly faint. My elder cuz neber inform me in advance of the happenings - have to help her collect ang baos at her wedding dinner. Tot i can slack but what the heck, just help out as a relative with abrupted notice. Must watch my mouth and BEHAVE kekekekeke.

Stil a bit sugar high from yesterday's fondue and I doubt I've eaten so many strawberries in my life before. Also still have the ward check rush from the change in HOs and MOs - quite a few re-dosing to do.

Aiyah.....

I think I going to RE-VIVA...

NO time to calculate the TDMed doses for my genta case. Only can do until the T1/2. Let's hope I made the correct judgement calls on the other doses for the antibiotics.

Luckily I still remembered one of the pharmacists asked me on how to dose prednisolone and also ask me to try to rpesent on Pneumonia earlier. Saving grace is the icing from the ice queen!

I am slow - got to admit it. The brain works very slowly. may be should start taking piracetam - no enuff O2 going to brain.

Very sianz - planned to do fondue on last day on my rotation and get some of the missies and loogoons to pop by for fondue - AND MY FAVE PERSON HAD TO MOVE ONTO ANOTHER HOSPITAL. JING SIANZ ARRRRrrrrr...... @#%#$ rotation. Need to shop for fruits tomorrow.

The PT's going to cook the special Burmese dish again - Moo-hing-ghna (dunno how to spell - their language got a lot of 6, 9 and 0 one). She wanted a second round of chocolate fondue so oblige loh.
