Had an E-case today just before last parade and this just means extra workload on SBMC medics. E-case was of unknown nature with symptoms such as pain in lower right and upper left abdomen. Suspected pancreatitis or appendicitis. Patient was not very co-operative, 2 IVs were given before patient was rushed off to TTSH.
Fortunately, I was still considered as OJT, means no hands on, just eyepower at the least and helping a little here, a little there at the most.
Sadly for me though, I was the only AMS medic there today and will be for the rest of the week.
That's 'coz hardi is on 8 day MC and Omar is on GE course... Which leaves me as the only "struggling idiot" in SBMC.
Thankfully, there's cool down to earth medics like Shadiq, 'Amid around to show me the workings of a medical centre.. If it weren't for them, I'd probably die of boredom a long while back already.
Tomorrow will be my first cover and it just had to be an IPPT cover... This means I;d have to show up by 0700 (which is the time I'd get on the red line to Sembawang).
To add to my distress, I have P2 Duty on Thursday...
Haiz...
If not duty, it's cover, if not cover, it's E-case, if not E-case, P-case, and the list goes on from there...
Just like what ys said: Medic is the 2nd most shiong vocation after RP (which is permanent guard duty lol).
Right now, I'm just counting down to my flight..
