Kill me...and make it quick!

And I don't mean le petit morte.I mean the real thing...in all its harsh reality!It can't be worse than this freakin' cold(with all its attendant trials).And the thought of being on call tomorrow with a dripping nose is so not my idea of Utopia.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yea...narcissistic,ain't I?But 'tis is my happy time of the year!Even though it was 2 days ago!
And I'm one of the few people who dare to wish myself so late without fear of the consequences...though my excuse is that I was on call.(Obs-Gynae stinks,literally and figuratively!)Anyone else gets reminders and if that fails threats...which usually works considering I'm armed with a needle.

Just Shoot Me!

Back to the mother ship...after a 16-day reconnaissance in the periphery!Man,I thought that it would never get over especially on that last day!24 hour duty is a pain in every possible part of the anatomy!And of course,if I'm on call,the load has to be equivqlent to a freakin OPD on a holiday!My reward for work well done turns out to be the opportunity to do more.
On the eighth day,God said "I'm done.Murphy,you take over".By that corollary,my life ,it has to do a number on me every once in a while.Obs-Gynae and its attendant woes start from tomorrow and with my luck I'll be on call on my birthday!What a perfect way to spend the day...dodging body fluids of all colours(Add green,read amniotic fluid ,to the list).And the invasive procedures in this posting are absolutely the worst!Joy to the world,at least someone should be happy!

P.S.:Any smart-ass comments on the details of this rotation and I come after that person with a scalpel.

Conspiracy Theory!

Last night was one of the worst.The thing about being posted in the periphery is that I'm supposed to be able to sleep a good 6 to 8 hours without disturbances.But every time I'm on call there's a steady stream of patients!And yesterday was one of the worst...every hour ONE patient would turn up!Now I can handle not sleeping at all during emerg but having my sleep disturbed just when I've reached the stage of deep sleep is just plain annoying!Then I have to wake up to attend to the patient and by the time that's done I'm fully alert so it takes me time to go back to sleep and the entire vicious cycle restarts.
I swear its like they knew when I was sound asleep and timed their arrival exactly by that.Aaargh!

Return to Innocence

I wasn't very impressed by India Gate.Seems like a sop to me for those who died fighting a war for another nation!
What did catch my eye was this group of kids playing in the pond near the monument...the joie-de-vivre...more my idea of India than India Gate.
