The fastest way to lose weight... go to work

Today was one of the WORST morning shift, again.
I was busy with 2 patients whom I spent the whole day on.
1 whom needed urgent ICU bed, while another needed urgent S/C continuous sedation etc..
And I had yet to do the morning doctor's round changes for the other patients.
How I wished there were 2 of me.


It was already 5.30pm when I finally got to sit down to complete my 2 discharges report,
when I should be off duty at 3.15pm.
Left the ward only at 6.30pm...
And no help was offered throughout, how sad.
I am not expecting anyone to help me when they have their own responsibilities too,
but how nice would it be if someone offer to help when u r struggling to multi- task alone.
It needs not be excessive, even words of concern would have make me feel much better.


And it was not my team-mates whom noticed it.
It was the palliative doctor whom had been struggling with that patient with me for the whole afternoon noticed I was still busy around in the evening.
ANd she even apologised for stressing me n told me to take it easy.
I was comforted for a moment.
But ain't it ironical to hear that from someone whom I had worked with for only 2 days while the others had been with me for a yr?



SHAG. 2 more days to my weekends off.
I do need a good rest.
