Today my ward (ward 18) should be passive ward, i.e. a ward that not going to admit new patient, so it should be less busy, but some how today ward 18 become like an emergency room (ER) in A&E department. There were 6 patients simultaneously collapsed and need resuscitation, but ward 18 don't have so much ventilators, so some patients need to be ventilated manually with Ambu bag. Many patients were intubated. The ward was so busy until specialist also need to help to insert branula/cannula, and doctors from A&E, radiology department, etc need to come to the ward to help up. A specialist came and do round, mainly for GI patients, but the ward so busy that hardly any HO go 'layan' him, and a HO, who is taking care of a particular patient went to listen a talk about dengue (if I know there was a dengue talk I won't stay at that ER-like ward), and that specialist want to see that patient. Anyway...... today is a hectic day for the HOs, MOs, and specialist of that ward.
Btw, today having lunch with JS and his HO, BFF should join us but for some reasons she didn't. Sadly I heard how that HO described how poor those Russia-graduated HO, not because they are lazy, simply because they didn't learn what need to be learned in Russia, and the different system of medical education in Russia. Anyway, this is the conclusion that I came out:
When we are learning russian, others are learning how to clerk.
When we are reading books, others are reading journals.
When we are writing case histories, others are writing posters.
Anyway again, today I have chance to take venous blood from some patients, and thank God that I managed to take it, though failed few times. Still find chance to insert branula and also taking ABG. But even HO and MO got difficulties in taking ABG. Suddenly I remember again what Paul said to Timothy.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity,
but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
