No better

Yesterday I saw 6 month old Amin, and the mother immediately told the husband 'This was the doctor who delivered Amin!' Gosh, it's been at least 6 months already since I left the most exciting posting (O&G).

Motivation level is at an all time low. I am actually now quite envious of my sister's job as an office lady (OL) as I imagine her going into work at 8am completely relaxed, starting the day with a nice cup of coffee and some petty chatter. While me, I start the day feeling very sorry to disturb those poor sick patients in the midst of their slumber at 6:30am before the sun even before dawn, apologetically interrogating them regarding their symptoms, appetite, bowel and bladder habits. knowing that I would run late no matter how early I arrive only because my registrar is such saddist that he would arrive 10 minutes after me and I would get a sounding for not having reviewed all my patients.

Now, with the emergency department, the working hours are much better. But I still feel very empty. I find myself going to work everyday going through the motions of clerking, clerking and more clerking. The patients just wouldn't stop coming in. There is nothing exciting enough to bite me (apart from the other day when I put in my first triple lumen).

Save me, I'm bored.
