post-call

Alhamdulillah...Allah has granted me my dua to have a quiet oncall last night. thanks Allah..

yesterday started at 9am. i reached Merlin Park 15 minutes aerlier than i supposed to be. after handover from Nyasha who was oncall from the previous night, my oncall officially started. it was quiet for the first 2 hours. no bleep at all. i was hoping to get bleep first before get moving from 1 unit to another.

then, i was informed by my Reg that unit 3 is looking for me. what??i did not get any bleep from them.seriously. so, i decided to test my own bleep. yes, it's working. but,why did not i get the bleep ringing when unit 3 rang me??or did they bleep me in the first place??

so, i decided to go to unit 3. reaching there,i knew there is nothing urgent really. only few IV cannulas to be resited. dave (the medical intern) told me after that that he would do that since he wanted to cover unit 1,3, and 7 whereas i would be covering unit 4,5,6 and 8.

so, i went to unit 4. only few reviews to do. and no job in unit 5 and 6. i spent about 1 and half hours doing reviews in unit 8. after that, i did not get bleep until around 5pm. so, i went there again after my Maghrib prayer. once finishing joblist in unit 8, i headed to unit 4 only to find that there was no job for doctor. fuh, i'm lucky. this is strangelu quiet oncall for me. seriously. half of the oncall hours i spent my time in dr rest. this is marvellous really...

at night, i got call at 8pm from unit 8 to chart for medication for certain patients. and no call after that. i could not believe myself sleeping from 9pm till 8am the following day. seriously, i cant imagine that my oncall would turn out to be like this...it's so peaceful and quiet.

to be honest, the night before the on-call, i was so agitated and restless. the next day was my first cover call really in Merlin PArk. i really did not know what to expect. so, my sleep was really disturbed that night, anxious thinking on how the day would turn out to be. i woke up every hour. serious.i woke up every hour that night, 1 am, 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, every hour until 7 am. i was so anxious...

if only i knew beforehand that this oncall will be this quiet,then, i do not have to spend soo much time worrying. i am just wasting my time.huhu..

alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah for granting my wish. thanks Allah..
