It's a long time that I haven't touched my xanga blog. Time flies, and I have gone through 2 and a half rotations already. There were a lot of experiences, memories, ups and downs, tears and stress.

Time to make certain decision. Time for job application. There were a lot of struggles and frustrations in the past and I hope what I think right now is correct, or at least, for the near future. We have different paths to go in our lives, and most of them I believe we don't have much say about it. Nevertheless, we can change ourselves to accept and adapt our life and make it better. I'm learning hard to appreciate little things, and to remind myself of the beauty of simplicity and nature.

People in our age are just stepping into the reality and world where economy plays a big part. People in our age are striking hard for money, career, investment and a better living. In return, they use leisure, health, time spent with family and friends as trade off. I do not say it's wrong but just I want to have the latter items in my life. It may be naive to say such thing because I haven't really started on a formal post or I don't have to worry about my living at the present moment; I just want to express my concerns.

Thanks for the ones who have been with me all through these years and gave me happiness.
Hope everyone of you can find what you want and treasure what you have!

轉眼間上班快三個月
初時真的受不了每天不斷給人家追這樣追那樣
又不停做錯東西
打drip抽血的成功率之低實在令人氣餒
沒有吃午餐晚飯又要繼續做的日子想起都可憐

第一次看見patient arrest的衝擊
on call時那些desaturation, hypotension, convulsion...
心裡其實亂得很卻又硬著頭皮去做

這些都是每個houseman必經的　
我覺得最考驗的並不是knowledge
而是physical+EQ

幸好這段日子遇上好的同事　大家互相ｃｏｖｅｒ
而護士們都是很好的　感覺上已很幸運
因為上班開心與否我覺得人事佔大半
希望次後的ｒｏｔａｔｉｏｎ都好．．．

It's been 3 yrs that a typhoon No8 hasn't been hold
I still remembered how we longed for it in our student days

Today, I could leave 2 hrs earlirer than usual, after finishing the remaining work.
Still feel so tired all week..
Call on Sat AGAIN tomo...good luck to me plz

When I saw and talked to the Med5/3 these days, I found time really makes a difference to me.

I had a bad call day last night...
working from 8am yesterday till 8 am today, non-stop ward complaint, admissions and other work...
Physically I was not well as well
I nearly gotta cry in front of the computer
luckily I got the nice staff last night

--
I was asked by a friend whom I haven't met for long..."what do you do/what are your hobbies when you are not working?"
I was silent for a while...
Apart from dining with friends and family, I found I am basically doing nothing...sigh..

That's why you gotta choose something you really like for your career?!

I am now at Pacific coffee, Festival Walk, Kln Tong.

I am alone tonight, going out, having my dinner, wondering around.
Enjoying a moment of rest

I had breakfast, tea(without lunch of course) and dinner today, I should feel happy.

----
Last night we did have a "phone conference" for Guai's Bday
Miss you guys really
Looking forward to our gathering on Fri(my post call day)~

The 2nd week

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 09:29:10 GMT

Started to be a little bit better with the routine work
still a lot of writing errors

still feel bad on call days
coz physically and mentally cannot stand for it
super low efficiency in the next day after call

Today I tried to reflect,
it's time to change the attitude
not to "finish" all the work
but appreciate each little task I did
and let time bring me to another new day

The 1st time I did the explaination to the family for a patient going to die soon
it's just like the TV scene

The most rewarding thing is hearing "thank you" from the patients

Finally have 1.5 holiday(tonite+ tomo)
call on Sun

Finished 1 week of work.
Havne't got time to digest what I did and what I felt these days.
Being a Dr is really different from being a medical student.
For the former, you have no excuse for knowing nothing
you cannot expect there is always sb to deal with your difficulty
you cannot simply say you don't know

Working for 1 week, I have already certified for nearly 10 patients
and 1 witnessed sudden arrest
Maybe, I should admit I am only a human
But it's time to learn, to be a doctor.

Life is fragile
We thought being a dr can help and save life
it's not always the case coz life has its end point.

1st July 2007

Started my first day of work at PWH MED 9A/B
Luckily I got Emily who should be fee today coming back to help me dealing with 1 ward
and 1 MO kindly helped me to clear the "homework"
Also the nurses are so nice there and tolerate me a lot
Otherwise I dun think I can go at 2pm

4-5 X-Match
3-4 Consent form
2-3 ABG
2 ECG
Pigtail removal
labels...rewrite med/IVF...drips...

Today got a patient with haematamesis, BP dropped and I was unable to set drip for transfusion
Finally made a few calls by nurse to find MO to set....Luckily he's safe.

I predict I will have much more 'exciting' experience in these 3 months.

7月1日香港回歸十週年
也是我正式開工的日子
有點怯又怕自己捱不住call的生活

第一次聽到病人叫自己陳醫生
那種感覺很複雜...

希望一切順順利利!!!
大家開工大吉
