NICU houseman so far

yes..Day 2 of life for me as a NICU houseman

they said being a NICU houseman was tough..no lunch, working alone, lots of stuff to do and going back late..stress. stress. stress.

but so far...i manage to have a quick lunch and i went back at 5pm..except for today..(i have to wait for oncall HO to come for handover.. yes u are mean)

today was quite an eventful day for me...because...

1) i managed to intubate a baby!!!...1st attempt successfull...yeahh..
2) i managed to insert a UVC and UAC (with the help from MO.. was stuck in the beginning)

the MOs were very helpful. even though i heard quite a nasty rumours about them however honestly they are very very helpful. i learn a lot so far.

so far..i am still surviving as a paed HO.. 3months to go..hopefully i will survive..
depress yes..
emotionally disturb yes..
however...those babies are really cute aren't they..
if only they are not sick... the must be cuter indeed...
get well soon babies..may you all "graduate" with distinction soon from NICU..

Favourite patient??

It is so not right to categorize your patients. Difficult? Manjalitis? Kurang Kasih Sayang? Compliant? "That" patient? Ya I know. And I do know that we are not suppose to favor patient as well. Because we are professional who work with good etiquette; not to be bias or biatch. However, when I have someone whom I have been managing for quite sometimes, and he has been a very good patient in term of compliant and courtesy (plus cute =P), I can't stop myself from having this feeling. Feeling? Feeling that I'm going to miss him so much. Knowing that my ward rounds will be dull without him. I am talking about an old gentleman, who has been in the hospital more or less A YEAR!!!..Yup..He has a TB and for his case it is tricky to manage. As if it has been mutated to a new strain. Because of that, he has been in the hospital (Kapit and Sibu) for nearly 1 year. If you meet him, he looks like a very healthy strong Ibanese. He doesn't look sick. But...Sigh.. Always tease hi

first of all.... I'M BACK!!!! ! The beginning of the new posting aka first day in hell. It was suck as expected. The tagging days just horrible. Tiring mentally and physically and i couldn’t wait for this to end. Anyway, what am i talking about. Its hell. Hell is not good. Always bad. In the nutshell, if i can put in 1 word to describe my life in paed for the past 10 days as tagger, the word is HELL. some of my colleagues are very efficient and nice to work with. Some are REALLY slow. But who am i too judge. I am still junior to them. My medical knowledge has evaporated since i left the posting. I couldn’t remember how to interpret the ABGs and the most common ABG abnormalities i found when i was in medical were either overventilated or metabolic acidosis. I was told by my MO to buck up my ABG knowledge because it was unacceptable since i am now a 4 th poster. Which by right, according to the old system, i should be a MO by now. Damn. And blur is still my middle

having trouble in making decision whether to date or not to date someone that asked you out? maybe i can you help. i received this trough my email few days ago. it is interesting to find the questions asked that lead to your decision. example. most people may think that once you date, you are going to end up with sex. hence the first question is very important. huh. since when dating is equal to sex? I must be aging then. i've tried this. i end up out dating if only the guy is paying!!!..yes i am stingy. and i can't tolerate smoker because they are stupid, those who eat human meat and gay. thanks huh.
