Part-less...and Partner-less...

I'm on call with Sharon today...me in OT and Sharon in ICU...started the morning with a patient with multiple stab wounds at the back of the neck and shoulder...he was drunk and got involved in a fight..idiot!!! finished the case about lunch time...so went down to ICU to have lunch with Sharon...so we were talking and i mentioned that Siang Lin was going to KL today for his MRCS part 2 exam tomorrow...and then Sharon said that she was 'part-less'...well, that made the 2 of us...coz everyone seems to be taking some sort of exams in parts...and we're the only few who are either too under-ambitious/ lazy/ demotivated to take any exams...

And then i blurted out to her, "hey, i'm not just part-less...i'm partner-less too..."...hahahaha... and then Sharon was like, "why you're always like that? wait till we (as in she and Pang) introduce you to BT"...and she had the look of a very excited matchmaking aunty...sigh...i wasn't even complaining about the fact that i was single..i was just pointing it out...btw, the world is actually that small...coz although i've never met this BT guy, i've actually known of his existence since i was in 1st year med school...why? coz one of the girls i used to hang out with in uni used to have this major crush on him....hahahaha....i don't know if i can look BT in the eyes and say hi with a straight face if/when i finally meet him...

After lunch, did 2 more cases...one necrotizing fasciitis of lower limb..in which i failed my spinal and had to give GA instead..crap!! i've been failing my spinals very often lately...i think it's a sign...another case was a submandibular abscess...was afraid of difficult intubation but i used the new videoscope which was loaned to our OT...it was actually very helpful...then went down for dinner...and Sharon was suddenly all so bubbly...she's not usually like that when she's on call... apparently she sent her urine for UPT and the result is back...but she refused to tell me if it's positive or not...but i have a feeling it's positive, hehe...that's really great news!!!

I'm doing a craniectomy and evacuation of clot and clipping of aneurysm now...the patient's quite stable so far...vitals are stable...hoping it will continue to be that way till i send her to ICU...no, i did not leave my patient on auto-pilot while i'm typing this post..my MA is looking after her...hopefully after this case it will be quiet...keeping my fingers crossed... i need sleep...precious sleep...
