so i've just got back from a day's duty at the medical centre.
horrible day it was.

3 resuscitation cases (ie casualties needed immediate help and had to be subjected to various tortures like having an anal probe inserted up their a**es) of which yeah i did the inserting. oh it takes the temperature there, which is more accurate than ur oral temperature, in case u didnt know. and yes, i Did see the various sizes of male sexual organs as i, together with another medic, did the stripping of the casualties. haha cant resist saying this, but im proud of myself. heh. haha.
Anyways. the point was, 2 resus cases came in the night. 10 and 12+, in fact.
which was not all. assorted cases brought in meant that i had to take two-hourly parameters of the patients. ie i had to wake up (and wake the patients up) every two hours jus to take their temperature, BP, pulse and respiration rates. dat started from 12+ all the way till 7am. and since there were SEVEN patients (the sickbay was COMPLETELY filled) by the time i finished taking all their parameters i got to sleep for an hour before the next parameter taking.
which means i slept for a total of 4 hours last night. fitful sleep. not the kind u'd wanna get, actually.
and i got no official rest today other than an hour early off work (for which i really thanks the MO, but actually made not much difference as it was spent on travelling). so basically i sleptwalked through the whole day, dispensing medicine to patients who came to report sick. (but at least i know i didnt dispense any drugs wrongly, 5 weeks spent there aint for nothing)
And after all dat work, i took my final theory test! cant say whether im gonna pass (everytime i say im gonna score i dun) but yeah! was still alert enough to take it. with the help of coke that is. caffeine and glucose= lethal combination.
and im not really dat tired now too!
but still. it was a truly horrible day.
and to think of it. i have duty again this friday. And next tuesday. And next friday. ok friday im not so worried 'cause most people would jus wanna go home and not stay in the sickbay *fingers crossed* but next tues... gosh im dreading it already...
