Just reach home after my call. It wasn't a good call though.
Not that I still have high level of stamina, but i just so eager to blog.....suddenly have the mood to write something.....
Okay. I can tell you luckily there were two GS girls on call yesterday, if not I couldn't imagine how bad was the situation going to be!
Right after we took over from previous shift in charge, immediately they sent in a plastic case -- Split skin graft. So as usual la....we are always being kiasu in preparing plastic case and die die would have two circulators to run the case. Luckily Sister Shirin was on yesterday, so she helped to prepare the case while I was preparing for ANOTHER GS case -- Laparoscopis I&D liver.
Well, because the liver abscess was quite bad....hell loads of pus was drained out....
Just when I finished my case and going to clean my instruments, I heard there was another laparotomy -- Anterior Resection....Gosh...non stop GS cases floading in....
However, me being a colorectal girl, didn't offer much help. Not that I didn't want to, but I'd no time! As I unscrubbed for the liver case, it was already 2pm and I was dying for my delicious lunch!! I could see only my lunch box waving at me.......
So Ruby helped to run the case.....
Do you think that's the end..?
NO WAY~!!!!!!!
Another plastic case occupied the theatre with the ORIF mandible. Luckily Prof had a good mood, singing in the theatre...hahaha......
Concurrently, another Urology case was in progress.....and as you guys know, urology is highly specialised, they have lots of funny looking scopes and forceps which non urology girls would not normally know. They were having a hard time to search high and low for the required instruments! But no choice lor....you can't expect too much during on calls......!
I&D abscess and appendicextomy were in queue while we were busy hunting for urology instruments......
By the time we managed to take a deep breath from GS cases, it was almost 9pm I guess..?
So GS stopped, and Ortho began!!!!
Full of ortho cases throughout the night......
LUCKILY, we had two ortho nurses, too!
Alright people, I'm going to hibernate.....See ya...and "good night" to me... =)
