A Day of Embarrassing incidents

First, we were just getting this guy to walk like a model by the bed-side so we can do a gait assessment. It was really difficult because the patient was on an IV drip and poor pris had to hold the drip-set like controlling a dog on leash... and ooops after some nasty Trendelenburg maneuvers gone wrong, we got the patient collapsing back into bed and aghast , the drip set came out! PaNic.. we scampered off to get a new plug set and somehow Marie failed to get the plug in despite 2 attempts.. well I luckily managed to get it in but not before gushing blood on the bedsheet and the patient moaning like a Moana Lisa. It has been like over a year since i last set plugs during med electives, so i DeFinitely was like fumbling.. the patient even claimed my hand was trembling..

Second, thanks to Fiona Xie being shamelessly plastered on almost every single SBS bus, we got distracted into talking about cup sizes and walked back to TTSH WITHOUT paying for our meal at wee nam kee chicken rice. i nearly died of shock when yanni suddenly asked in front of mr. bean ice cream stall, if i had somehow paid for our meal. images of like crimewatch .. crime doesn't pay et al were floating through my mind.. plus the nagging concern the horizontally striped jail costume, which we would be forced to wear, would resemble one of those disgusting giordano shirts a few seasons ago.
