Yup,it's an angry post.Started off the work day noticing the nurses didnt take vital signs.When enquire the patients further,this is their reply:"mereka hanya ambil tekanan sahaja"----First shit of the day.
Then, came a great nurse who came in my cubicle and gave a sarcastic comment and rude remarks on me,who opened and inspected the wound of patient for superficial skin graft planned later evening.-----Second shit of the day
The sister who was busy chit-chatting with patient caught my attention,expressed my dissatisfaction to her.Which again a lot of cover up was done.Her shocking statement:"yeah,saya ada pantau,bila saya takada mereka berani buat.Ada nurse yang telah direject sent ke sini ba.Dan Dr kena faham kita understaff ba,malam-malam 1-2 orang sahaja yang kerja"wow,a great reason for not doing your job,understaff.-----Third shit of the day
Highlight of the day---Talked to Surg houseman to inform an ortho case which was done together with surg team,and for them to review and wether to off CBD(continuos bladder drainage---tube for passing urine,insert into urethra and reaching bladder) as patient haematuria(Patient had extensive ulcer which involed medial thigh and scrotum,afraid CBD was part of surg team management).That particular surg ho was uninterested and rude.I got frustrated and just walked off after the Ho said she will inform their MO to review later,with a "but"---with her rude tone she was saying:"im not sure when will my MO or specialist will come.Just a few seconds later i was hearing her shrill voice,with another man who seems like a MO,came up to me and the MO asked me:"why u were so rude to my HO""We as Dr must speak professionally""It's this how you refer cases?"----Fourth shit of the day.
Later of the day,suddenly one of the nurse inform me that one of the case for emergency wound washout was not posted,but the name on the list.Flipped back the case note,it was again that fellow Ortho Ho who never do work properly,never document properly,and never posted that case.In a frenzy i took the blood,traced it and called GA urgently ,but was rejected because too many pending emergency cases.-----Fifth shit of the day
Lessons learned today:
1)Never fully trust what you see(esp on chart boards),but trust your patient,most of the time they dont lie.
2)Be honest with yourself and others,making excuses for other people incompetencies is just sad.
3)Beware of a combination of pretty Surg Ho(esp tht particular one) and a GUY MO beside her.Because even when you are just doing your job and making sure other people are doing their part,shit will just get thrown to you.Maybe pretty female HO just really get the extra attention(used to have this conversation with Celery).
4)There are people who appear they are doing their work,but actually is the most LAZIEST person in the ward.Even though 4th poster,act like MO,but even a first poster works better.
Conclusion:
One of the shittiest day ever,and tomorrow is going to be a long day(assissting Trauma operation theater)....better vent it all out now and get a good night sleep.
