It is now 442am and I’m sitting at the doctor’s station in the delivery suite. and it took me 3 tries to type out “it is” properly because I am that zonked out.
This is my first WHOLE night shift and I must say that it is probably good training for the future. I had 4 hours of sleep last night before I rushed to hospital for the tute and I had 1 hour of sleep before i came to hospital. In a total of 36 hours or so, I’ve had 5 hours of sleep. RAWR. tired.
and I had my first breathlyser test on the way to hospital. Which I thought was rather bizarre because who gets drunk at 845 pm.. but then again i guess you never really know haha.
I had a glance at the photo running across the top of my blog page and I had this sudden thought about whether the 12 apostles had changed much in the last 4 years. I look back at the photos I took back in first year, and I wonder how much I have changed since then. Surely, I have learned so much. Going for vespa night is testimony to that. I still remember doing that attachment at TTSH after 1st year and asking prof chia what hyperkalaemia and hypernatraemia meant. Now if i heard something like.. this 10 year old boy presented to the ED with right iliac fossa pain that intially started in the midline and gradually moved to its current location. associated symptoms include nausea and vomiting. he is currently febrile and tachycardic and slightly tachypnoeic… and it would completely make sense. I guess you never know how much you know until you see what you potentially were like before. It is extremely exciting :) looking forward to the time when i can start work!
Will be going to the great ocean road again when daryl comes. apparently an apostle has collapsed.. or was that before i went in first year HAHA :) clearly my dates are messed up. but it would be nice to go back again. just like the return tot he grampians. :) even though i’ve only been there once, there was a certain sense of nostalgia.
