My Last Call

Hee.

Today is my last AM/N shift, in fact, is my last off-working hours shift for Paediatrics posting. Will drive back to HTF by 12am tonight for my last 7 hours before I am officially done with double shifts. My AM shift today was..pretty something. Went to casualty for a premature delivery at 25 weeks (baby was delivered there!), make myself useful to anchor the ETT and other basic stuff. And the MO let me insert the little baby's UVC! Hee! Went back to NICU before being called again to labor room to find myself admitting another baby to NICU for poor cry with congested face, Apgar given by O+G Team was 7 at 1 min. The baby's crying amplitude abruptly improved once been placed under the radiant warmer in NICU..sheesh!

Sometime in between, was called to Ward 7 to clerk a 4-month old infant with left neck swelling. History is more suggestive of lymphadenitis post-vaccination. All in all, it was a fun AM shift. But I am hoping for a more calm, and peaceful night shift tonight. Huu..

Wish me luck! =)
