30/04/09 - Oncall
01/05/09 - Post-call (get to go back half day cos of public holiday)
02/05/09 - Passive call (since it's a weekend, I get time off from the end of specialist rounds up to about 7pm, but have to work until about 11pm).
03/05/09 - Oncall

What the %#@*!!

I HATE this department.
So far, I have not found anything that I like about this department.

Every morning, I have to go to work early just to try to finish the rounds.
Passover starts at 7.30am, and usually the MO rounds start right after passover.
Which means, your rounds have to finish before 7.30am.
On top of that, if you clerked any cases the day before that, you have to find the tickets of those patients to bring downstairs for passover.

Passover - if you clerked the case, you present the case in front of all the specialists and MOs and HOs.
If the specialists have any questions (regarding the patient) for you, they ask you.
If you can't answer, you are an idiot 'cos that is your patient.

So many times in Paeds, we, HOs were told that we are not clerks, but doctors.
But here, I feel like I am a clerk.
Nothing more.

So many times, I feel like I am unwanted in this department.
I feel like everyone hates me (and vice versa).
My colleagues are OK though, most of them are nice.
The specialists and MOs - the moment I feel that one of them is nice (or not bad), they will say something to make me hate them all over again.
ARGH!!

Everyday, there is a stress while going to work.
So far, I have not dreaded going to work.
But I think, soon, that is going to change.
I HATE ORTHO!!!!
I hope I am not extended.
I don't want this torture to be prolonged!
Already I am just waiting to get out of the department.
