今天在查房一個老年女病人,她好轉了我準備拿掉她的導尿管,然後order bedside toilet。但是我看到她床邊已經有toilet seat了,我就問,為什麽你有導尿管還要toilet呢? 那個老太太瞪著大大的眼睛看著我說,well i need to go big one too, honey.

I really love your blog, also envy your courage and pleasant personality. This is my first post ever in wenxuecity, I simply can't help expressing my affection for your writing. It is fantastic you can write down your path in the midst of your intense life. I just discovered your blog yesterday and have been totally absorbed by it ever since.
My parents have a family friend in China who became an excellent doctor at the same time a very prolific and renown writer. She is a super woman. I can see your bright future along that path.

Haha, don't feel bad if you don't spell things right. My American born docs frequently ask me to spell certain words. I tease them back " Give me a break, I am a immigrant, don't you speak English?", and they would say " hey, this is not English, it is Latin". Also, I attack them back when I can't understand their lousy notes, "Your handwritting is so bad that it looks like a scribble, I bet you don't want the potential lawyer to understand".
When they claims they can't admit another pts and is too tired, I would say " Let us call nurse stat, to give Dr. so and so IV coffeine bolus"
We need fun when we constantly overworked, aren't we?

Tell you one of my embrassing moment, when I was a intern and post call, I wrote a pt's diet order: Liquor diet instead of Liquid diet. Of course, nurse immediately paged me. That incident became the joke of our team. The other intern would tease me and ask me to take some of his alcohol withdraw pts. Other residents would ask me to be their docs if they ever admitted since I would give them Liquor.
無意中看到你的blog, 一篇一篇讀下來,會心地微笑和流淚..
喜歡你的文字,欣賞你的為人..
用心生活的女孩..從來沒有想到醫生的世界也可以這樣迷人!
我也羨慕得想寫blog啦,總覺得好多感悟和體會如果不記下來就白白流走啦..
我是一個graphic designer, 現在london讀ma,由於種種原因花費了很多心血的這學期的final project 居然fail,要過兩個月重新提交..很沮喪,把自己封閉了快一個月(因為這期間大家都在歌舞升平party狂歡),
看你的blog很給人鼓舞..
