It has been about 2 months already after I started working. It is very difficult to catch up stuff. This week I am assigned to KK3, which is a paediatric oncology ward. It was like nightmare on the first day. I have no idea what is happening in the ward. The scope of your work as house officer is different from general paediatric ward.
But thank God that a friend of mine who is also assigned with me to KK3 is very experienced. For this five days he taught me a lot of things, from basics to theory to procedure to attitude. He also shares with me a lot of his past experience when he just started to work. Definitely something worth to listen for a whole day.
Many things also happened in KK6, as many need "taggers" or "first posters" came to our ward. But I am not sure what happened, since last week when for orientations in pathology department and national blood bank, and this week I am in KK3, so basically I am away from KK6 for about one and a half week.
How can I help them? I don't know. But the tradition of helping out the new colleagues should be continued, as I myself was once and now still in their shoes. But how?
Another worrying thing is that some senior house officers start to get annoyed but me. If medical officers don't like me, I am okay with it. But some how some house officers don't like my .... erm .... attitude? I don't know. And it means I am not a good team mate.
Another thing is this teaching thing. Why such a late notice for me regarding this thing? But I am also at fault, for doesn't immediately approach the specialist regarding this matter. I also haven't approach my consultant and specialist who are in charge of my assessment, and I also haven't make an appointment for my NRP examination.
And all these happened during this season of Christmas, my first Christmas in Malaysia. Hmm....
