Finally had a chance to sit down, surfing around internet, cannot type Chinese though.
Today is my official first day in ward, my resident is a really really nice guy, helping me with my note word by word, showing me the quick tips to do work efficiently, and even spelled some words for me, hehe, so embarrassing.
The problem is, it’s his post- call day, which means he hasn’t slept for 36 hours, which means he needs to get out of the hospital by 2pm today according to the law. So after 2pm, when the clock rang two times, I was suddenly on myself!
The faculty did the staffing round afterwards, Gosh, he spoke so fast, and even more horrible, he liked to play his nice expensive tie around his mouth while he was talking, I could barely hear what he said, not mention to write down the orders he wanted me to change. He just kept talking talking, from epidemiology, prognosis, pathophysiology, risk factors, symptoms, and signs we were suppose to look for, while my pen just froze there because I had no idea what to do, should I write notes now? Should I just listen and come back later? Or should I bring some kind of quite notebook and write a draft? It was 2:30pm, and my pager kept beeping, and I was really hungry and desperately needed to go bathroom.
My tears were about to run out of my eyes, but I tried really hard not to drop it on the sheet I was looking at. Suddenly the faculty stopped, he smiled like a big boy and said, I need to go bathroom. I almost shouted me too! I followed him because I had no idea where the bathroom located. When I looked at mirror in the bathroom, I saw myself, a young woman wearing her favorite purple shirt, looked tired, but eyes were still bright and glowing, I cannot just go down on my first day!
When I walked outside the bathroom, the faculty was standing in the hallway waiting for me, I guess he didn’t want to lose his intern, hehe. I felt warm in my heart because I know somebody is there when I need help. While we were walking back to the ward, I finally managed to speak out for myself, Could you please speak slowly and do not cover your mouth with your tie? I looked at him and said.
He turned his face to me and laughed, Thank you for reminding me, he said, I have this habit, when I get nervous I play my tie. Gosh, am I the one making him nervous? I didn’t bother to ask, as long as I get my work done, I don’t care, hehe. After this conversation, he paid attention to my pace which made a lot easier for me.
6pm, I finally finished all the work, and wrote the conclusion sheet for the one who will be on call tonight. When I gave her the note, she asked me to sit down and go through the patients with her. She is a new intern too, and her first day is on call, I can feel how terrified she is. When I left, she said thank you, I looked back, said sincerely, good luck!
God bless interns.
Because I have to do the round by myself tomorrow, my resident asked me to study the diseases of my patients, go over their sheet, notes, orders, to make sure that, by tomorrow morning 6Am, I have the right answer for my patients. A long night ahead.
聽不懂轉醫生的話，我覺得有一樣可以做的：帶個錄音機。如今的數字錄音機都非常小而精巧，功能應該相當方便好用，我覺得一定可以幫得到你。
Should you know, a lot of people die for having a "suffering" opertunity likd you do.
Cheer up!!!
Just hold on and you'll get there eventually and successfully. We all trust you.
Happy holiday! Too bad I have to stay here because things are still overwhelming.
God Bless you.
really have to run now, or i won't get any sleep tonight.
what you need is just a little faith.
god bless you.
