Shagged..

Crazy shift!! Was on night yesterday and the crowd was horrifying! Highest record was 56 on the queue! Wat were all those parents thinking when they decided to bring their child to CE?? If its for vomiting or diarrhoea then its not so bad cos u still can say u're worried of dehydration.. but most of them brought their child for FEVER!!! and its not like prolong fever or watsoeva.. like there's more than 10 on the que for fever ONE DAY!! DON'T THEY HAVE PARACETAMOL AT HOME???!!! tts not the most irritating part.. worst of all are those parents who REFUSE to give fever meds to their child and let the temperature shoot up past 39.5 degrees and because of the PROTOCOL we have to 9 them in!! and the rest of the queue will be jus jammed up cos there's simply too many 9 cases! R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!

Another high attendance is currently HFMD.. all thanks to the newspaper report that said HFMD might cause brain damage and death... din actually see the report but Ms Dan told me.. so at triage u see cases like one small dot on the hand and the parents think its HFMD so brought the child to CE.. I seriously pity the GPs out there.. their income must have gone downhill nowadays cos out of PARENTAL STUPIDITY they jus bring straight to us..

Ever since I started working in CE I've never seen the que pass 50 okays.. I mean, I've heard them complain but it din really happen when i was on shift u see.. and yesterday, for the first time, its 56!! well, we were intubating a drowsy child at tt time lah.. but before that was like 53 already so not tt much a difference.. talking abt tt.. yesterday was my first ever experience to stand at the head during intubation.. so i asissted in the suction, cricoid and stuff.. haha! it felt so... funny! while i was applying cricoid and the tube going in... i can feel it lor!! ugh~! but was a good one yesterday.. Pauline was like so steady when she tube the child.. haha.. probably done it too many times already given her jinx-ness.. haha! the poor child was newly diagnosed with brain tumor after the CT scan.. at first we tot was meningitis.. sighz..

So the last number today when i handed over was 555, when the number we took over was 370+.. at 1am we already hit 500 can.. WTH.. shld see the waiting area sia.. hope tonight will be better if not i think i'm gona fall sick again if this continues.. lets pray hard! :)
