pre-recorded
In the student lounge now.. but not talking to anyone. While they’re happily playing away at the ping pong table, playing pool.. don’t really know anyone here.. not attached to any group.. don’t belong with the students.. just follow the doctors every day but obviously don’t belong with them either… when they’re making endless phone calls and changes.
It’s times like these when we know who our true Friend and Redeemer is yes? = )
At least doing useful things like writing notes during rounds. Haha quite funny.. caused some confusion when I wrote H(circle around) cm. they were trying to figure out what cm was.. coming? Maybe? Come morning? Confirmed? Apparently u’re supposed to write tomorrow.. ah well. This is what happens when u have 8 patients on your list.
There are 8 patients on the clinic list too. To be shared among 3 doctors (HOs run clinics!), just once a week. Little wonder that they can watch tv, sit in the café… but they’re not dumb.. maybe smarter than some of us cos they can figure out on first principles.. hurhur.. we should really try this system of leisurely learning..instead of killing all the HOs. Haha my GP said that day, “oh! One more year to MBBS. After that.. death..muahaha”
Thankfully they’re so nice.. even offered to listen to me present.. the way they present here’s very different… casual but it depicts the picture of the patient better, eg “mr k complained of feeling tired and weak recently” vs “the patient reports lethargy and myalgia in the past month” and they do it slowly but absolutely thoroughly. For example, on Wednesday, one intern (equivalent of HO) left at noon, the other stayed till 3.30pm, and the reg was a little busier, he had to cut his hair and go to the post office in the afternoon. Imagine their shock when I told them abt our 36 hour shifts.And there are no MOs in our team.. but yet everything gets done nicely and properly.. no hurry. Erm, can I work here? = )
Anw, just did some walking around melb central, collins st, kings st.. when the shops are closed.. if not I’ll be tempted to buy everything! All the clothes and shoes are gorgeously eclectic! went to café Greco the other day at crown, by the yarra river. Char was right.. the passionfruit cheesecake is out of this world.. and today’s latte from the hospital cafeteria is the nicest ever tried.. there is so much to eat, see and do.. one month’s not enough! Yesterday finally went to my favourite fast food in the whole world.. red rooster! = )
Super cold these 2 days.. wrapping up in 4 layers of clothes but still wake up at night shivering.
Really tired for some reason.. fell (literally) asleep while standing reading oxford (little wonder) at the nursing counter.. luckily they didn’t call for code blue medical student ward 7 east. But the code grey (for patient/visitor aggression) is called several times a day.. scary right..
Ok could go on forever.. but ah well. Happy International Nurses’ Day! They are having a sausage sizzler (Barbie.. ie bbq) to celebrate.
Trying to sign up for wireless.. but it costs A$28 so hah forget it.
Alrighty.. going to little italy tonight!
