Happy New Year!!

This is actually a long ago post which wasnt published, but i'm not wasting time writing a new one...

What have I done for myself with my gaji?
I bought a fridge, a phone (the old one “collapsed”- i did manage to “revive” the old chap but it wasn’t working as well anymore), and lotsa food for each meal i could get my hands on..
Am planning to get some wheels, maybe a pda (the quick reference is really helpful in the wards), and i might move out some time this year.
Other than that I’ve been saving more or less...i still haven’t got my 4 months’ worth of on-calls (i get 8 calls every month) but I’m not really in a hurry to get it,they can give it in bulk later, I’m quite comfortable already.
Have you heard about the day off for the doctor on-call? No formal circulation is out, but the consultants doubt that it could happen..firstly if in HTAR, it would mean 7 housemen would be missing out of 20 something, and that’s not counting those taking their rest leave and EL..
Secondly if 4-5 out of 6 HOs in charge of one ward were on call that night, then the next day would be haywire if only 1-2 housemen were to take charge of 60+ patients, when previously they had only one cubicle..i had a similar day once (new housemen went for orientation,2 were on leave)..and it was not pretty
My personal opinion- how about giving those post-callers a half-day...they wont need to clerk any admissions for the day...just finish the rounds and any other issues in their cubicles, and go home early just like any weekend. It’s plausible..at least better than the day off idea...any qid monitoring or pm stuff could be covered by others in the ward.
Maybe I should get this stuff straight to MOH, and maybe I should iron my clothes too once in a while, maybe I should jog once in a while and maybe i should wait for that proverbial blue moon first.hehe..
PS: do you think I should stop using the READ MORE button for each posting?It seems to make us do an extra click to get to the full posting, a real pain in the neck if your wireless internet has problems catching up with a turtle in a race..heck, I can't even properly download my YM these past few months...
