Long drawn day at the new Renal Ward

First , we were like warned umpteen times by Jodie and Vanessa to attend the ward-rounds at Ward 45 ( Renal Ward ) otherwise face the death penalty. When I received the SMS to be punctual , I could swear my feet stepped a tad harder on the accelerator. SIAN .. I just don't know why I always have this sian feeling when I am in Paeds. It's probably because I have been so used to the pace of life in Surgical postings like O and G , when you always had weird things to do , from delivering babies in the Labour Ward to assisting with Caesareans in the OT to witnessing Vanaja winking her way through a myomectomy. For medical postings, it was just clerkship after clerkship.

And of course we had a tutorial by the very youthful and energetic Dr. A Yeoh , followed by the hyper-enthusiastic Dr. T Lim who kindly invited us to the Paeds Emergency. The thing about Dr. Lim is that he's very enthusiastic about teaching him , but I am a little fearful about his mood swings.

I found a new way how to get even with enemies the next time they irritate me in the Paeds ward. I will just crush them with the sliding shelves in the drug store. A kind nurse had kindly demonstrated this brilliant technique to me on her Filipina colleague today.
