Freshman

It’s a whole new world out (yet again) there for yours truly.

From Therapeutic Drug Monitoring to Medical Ward Rounds with elderlies who can barely speak, next on to the unit with scarring heads, severed torsos and limbs, then to mini little screaming creatures, followed by understanding complexities of women (internally), then to the ever on-the-running emergency department and I am finally settled to the final department where I have been allocated for the specialists’ dispense for the next good year… the Anesthesia Department.

Critically ill or patients requiring long term pain-relief or active resuscitation. They all happen here. I need Anesthesia-101. Thank goodness with Datin Sivasakthi, the Head of Dept and the rest of the specialists who I have worked with so far, my brains have been put in good use. Not bad, not bad at all… *phew*

Now coming into the third week of orientating myself. So far, so good. Discussions have been made, views were exchanged, everyone who came into our Intensive Care Unit were very much cared for. Relying onto my trustee clinical pharmacology handbook only is quite le-impossibleh. Seriously, government hospitals should be provided some sorta fundings to get reliable papers and literature writings. Ok guys, may sound abit overworked, but if you guys have any good access to journals, i’ll appreciate them! thanks…
