Hi. Finally emerging from my hole of work to post something on this blog.
So, a lot of things happened last week. One of the more major things is that I fainted for the first time in my life. Hahaha,
It felt like everything decided to shut down and I couldn't move no matter how much I wanted to. I was exhausted by that time. What with only sleeping for two hours that night and having been on call for over 24 hours and the stress of an emergency situation. It's a matter of minutes before I keeled over. Funnily, I managed to find a chair and took a seat before I fainted. Not so funnily, I picked the chair in front of the patient's room and a lot of people were milling around and I probably managed to add more to the chaos than help. People think that I fainted because I couldn't stand the blood. (-_-;)
It is rather embarrassing.
What ever any one says, I am glad that I saw this patient through.
This has been a week rather full of experiences. I'm glad for them. Really. I really love this thing I'm doing right now. Even if I'm perpetually tired. Even if all I want to do on a any given day off is to sleep. I really love this. I'm glad I'm doing this. I want to do everything I can to help. To treat. I'm still learning. I'm still making my way through this. There are mountains of things I still have no idea about. But, I love this.
Also, sometimes there have been patients who have asked me when the hell do I go home? Or do I stay at the hospital?
5 more weeks to go.
Another thing, I know I am a workaholic. I am a professional when we are at work. I know this does not sit well with a lot of people. I hope you understand. I can't help this. This is who I am.
I'm only sorry that you can't stand me.
