The Life & Times

Am sitting in the on-call room, eating out of a styrofoam box- our free meals to 'break fast'.

We're lucky; during this holy month, the faculty as well as the hospital staff makes the day go by much easier, food for sahur and break-fast is provided (heavy healthy meals with not-so healthy desert) free of charge, daily work hours are cut back whereas we usually report at the clinics at 7.30 am, it has been pushed back to 8.00 am. Yes, on call hours are still the same,

afternoon shift- 2pm-9pm
night shift - 9pm-7am

but at least in dermatology departments, we very RARELY receives emergency skin traumas in the middle of the night. And as I am now only in my 2nd week, i only get 3 shifts a week. Phew..what a big difference that is from those never-ending 10 shifts back in internal med. I rarely saw my own bed then.

We also get free wireless internet access from this small air-conditioned on-call room which i am making full use of by reading up on the latest goss (hahahaha), movie reviews (????) and facebooking every few seconds.

Stop. i'm just like everybody else.

i escape my day to day life by writing here.

of course, real life is not so bad. :)

but it is called an escape for a reason innit?
