Hey best of luck to kc and kenvin who's doing their driving test this weekend.. Mine is coming soon too.. k maybe not tt soon.. its nxt yr!
Had mass casualty drill today..irks.. I had to be one of the 3 medics to go out with the ambulance on site and treat casualties and bring them back to med ctr. Normally I stay in med ctr and just prep the place and help out at the resus room, which is much easier.
Den upon reaching scene, I forgot how to immobilize a pelvic fracture!~! Sianz.. so i could only give an IV(intravenous infusion) and i din know must put cervical collar.. when loading him on to spinal board... 1st thing tt came to mind was "what has pelvis injury got to do with neck rite?" anyway my snr medic also not sure.. but later my MO says it does affect the whole spine... so u could imagine there were some discussion and comments about my casualty during debrief. Snr medic din say its my fault.. cox he himself also abit not sure.. Haha
The temp MO taking over our MOIC as he goes on leave is really f***-ed up. Maybe bcox he's an army MO. Thinks so highly of himself and can do whatever he wants with his captain rank. Treats and command us medics like dirt... I tell u without medics, MOs will die la, fails to appreciate that we are helping him do his job and not realising that actually he's taking so damm bloody long to see patients. Threatens to charge patient over the slightest thing. Makes unreasonable reqeust of wanting patient to say out rank name i/c no. and knock his door before entering his room. come on man u think this is tekong bmt or wad.? Suan me for not knowing how to count my medicine when i politely requested him to prescribe drugs in rounded figures(to facilitate stocktake) N lots of other stupid stuff he did la..
Our MOIC on the other hand, fails to show his power and raise up to the occassion when the situation warrants it. Sighz. What he does and says doesn't project the competent and confident image a doctor should have. Put it simply, really "buay gan" You woun think that he's a doctor if he's in civilian clothes. I'm not just criticising his appearence or wad he wears... but its the way he does things, i would call it irresponsible sometimes. Even to the extent of letting us poor medics take the blame/rap/shit for him when he has much more power to deflect shit and get things done.
On tues, while trying to fix a patient's dislocated shoulder back, it took him 4 medics and great deal of time to move it back in place. Imagine how painful it was for the patient, and instead of showing more assurance and quickly fixing it back.. he was like "Eh.. i got no strength lei.. help me pull.. eh itzz this way? hmm... " den as n when he whispers to another medic " aiyer.. i dowan to fix it la.. i gotta go already... got duty.. " and complains and complains.. and the funniest thing is when he finally got it in.. he didn't even realise it.. he went" eh itzz in already.. let me test". All the while he;s like showing this hesitant and "dunno-wad-to-do" kind of attitude. WTF la..
He gives us the feeling that he doesn't really want to be a doctor, and just wan to siam as much things as possible, sometimes at the expense of other ppl or even us medics. For heaven's sake, if u're a doctor, act like one and perform ur job with more professionalism.
