if day surgery is full house today. i bet major ot will be too. all of us were tired. it is mad house in theatre 5 today. all the theatres are practically doing hand cases. 3/4 of hand department is in day surgery, operating. on top of that, Sister accepted A&E P1 case where patient is brought up straight from A&E. 5 minutes later, Dr Timothy came running into theatre. =) the case is a concurrent of plastics and hand surgery.
happening Friday. especially, when 1/4 of the staff is not around.
i salute the 2 Sisters in charge today. despite the overloading cases with minimum staffing, we all whack everything by 1630 hrs. they came into all the theatres and help. when i sound out about the external fixation set that Dr Tan wants to use from major ot and there are not a single porter around, she took care of it very well. the moment, i was scrubbed up, the ext fix is there. when i told her, 'Sister, there is another problem, none of the girls in theatre 5 knows how to use the ext fix. i need help.' 'okey. get Yap to come in.' the next moment, after i prepare my trolley, she was there helping me circulate. she is superb. although, she nags and always want us to listen to her, she is always there to help us. she scrubbed up when we need an extra pair of hand. Sister Wendy Yam. =)
i know i will miss you very much.
everyone work hard today. right from reception to tssu, who non stop prepare extra loads for us to cook our instruments.
i am grateful for the dynamic teamwork.

thank you Allah for planning my life this way.
