It's become kind of a trend right now in Facebook to have a picture something like the one I copied the other day and tagging your friends to the picture. I wonder how many variants of the same thing can they do before they run out of ideas (whoever 'they' might be).
Anyway, I was supposed to be oncall today, but then a friend of mine wanted to change calls with me, so I was oncall yesterday instead. Thursday calls are the best - there is no passover on Friday (we have CME on Fridays) and you get to go back at 12pm on Friday (if your department allows pm off postcall), so there was almost no way I was going to say no when the Thursday-call offer came along.
*passover is when you have to present whatever new admission you have to the MOs, specialists and HOD the next morning.
*CME is like a short lecture/presentation given by various departments every week - kind of to keep you updated or to refresh your knowledge about certain topics.
It was a really, really good call, and I will be very surprised (and happy) if I have other calls like that again.
I had 1 admission - at 5.30pm.
I had 1 blood taking to do at 4am - the child was big enough to not cry (in fact, the child didn't even say a word).
I had 1 blood taking to do at 6.45am - cried a little, but didn't fight.
There was one child in the acute side, but he was quite stable, so nothing to worry there.
There were some minor problems, but everything was settled by 12am.
I slept from 1am-4am then from 5am-6.30am (although for some reason, I couldn't sleep very well last night).
All in all, agood great call.
What a contrast form my first call (which was in the same ward).
My friend, who changed calls with me, wasn't very happy and had vowed that she would NEVER exchange calls with another person ever again. :)
