A lil hello!

It's been awhile indeed! Lately i've been spending my already limited time on other things to detoxify myself. Hence that explains for my hiatus. Otherwise i would probably be dozing off especially after postcall. 

Without realising it, i've been a houseman for almost 2 months! I know i've been saying this a lot but hell yes, it does feel short! 

Workwise, i am now more comfortable being an O&G houseman. I learnt a lot especially from my nurses, colleagues and superiors. And yes, up to now, i am still relieved and glad to be posted here. 

They said, O&G is the busiest posting but so far, i am indeed enjoying this place. Teamwork is excellent and everyone does not mind helping others when they are in need. Specialists are approachable and MOs are also very cooperative. To sum it all, i can say i am in a good posting.

I am not sure on how things are like back in The peninsula but throughout my observation based on my clinical attachments in 2 Klang valley hospitals, i can safely say that things are worse back there. Though One of the cons is that they now use Laptops for reporting purposes, i think handwritten can still safe time. 

Since i am halfway through the posting, i need to make sure i buckle up my procedures as well as the practicals. Then i might need to undeego Viva exit exams. I hope this feeling of luckiness persists until my nezzt HOship.

It's 2.45am and i am wide awake!

Hello there!

I am now doing my so-called night shift. Miri General Hospital has introduced shift system but unfortunately, since we are lacking of housemen in O&G department, the system still looks like normal oncall schedule.

So for those who are doing night shift, we will start our day at 7am and stopped at 2pm. We are given with 3 hours break until 5pm and then to come back again to work from 5pm until 8am.

We can go back early the next day provided that we have attended the compulsory sessions such as CME and pass over and rounds with specialist. I have mixed feelings about this system since by doing so, there will only be 2 HO per night shift. Depending on the days, good calls can give some time to sleep. On "hot" days, u will definitely feel like a living frustrated zombie.

It's still too early to give my comments on the system but i hope our teachings and experiences will still remain optimised!
