Hospitals

So far, just a quick check:

CSFC - NUH
General Surgery - AH
General medicine - NUH
Orthopaedics - CGH, SGH
Emergency Med - SGH
Diagnostic Radiology - TTSH
Fam Med - bedok polyclinic (singhealth)
Psycho Med - NUH

See how the trend shifts from NHG to SingHealth and back to NHG again? i'm just fated to stay at NUH forever lah. What with short postings and O&G and Paeds left, i'm destined to stay at NUH for the rest of my M3 life...after enjoying myself so much at SGH and CGH...

And strangely, they like to NOT post me to the nearest hospital which is tan tockseng, and i find that strangely REPULSIVE.

I've heard TTSH is world-renowned (chuckles) for its teaching and i've yet to experience that...worse still, i haven't even stepped into the wards and all i've got from that 1 week posting was in some dingy basement conference room with lectures that stretched for eons and never end...

Oh, SingHealth, thy come save me!

P.S.

Specially dedicated to flynn loo aka foo wee yee lynn:


hope you enjoy your time in london!

Emed Emed!

Just briefly a few days after the horrid Pharm and Cofm papers, a new era began.

Emed is exciting, and i embraced it with an energy never unleashed before the past few weeks..I mean, ambulance runs, nightcalls, RTAs, REsus! dam exciting lah! and so i've heard...

Thus far, its been an incessant schedule of tutorials and lectures that leaves me hardly enough time in the ED and of cos sleep laaaaaaaaah!!

However, i'm dam grateful for my tutors lah, they're probably the most powerful and unorthodox, yet highly efficient ones amongst the whole of singapore A&E i reckon...ahaha..and they have an uncanny knack of laughing at their own jokes..

All in all, i'm pretty grateful for my emed in posting at SGH man, been really looking forward to it..there's seriously no better place to work than SGH! hope i get some housemanship at SGH next time man...

Ambulance run 1:

I was posted to a very fine fire station, best in singapore..YISHUN FIRE STATION..rocks man,my paramedics were dam nice and experienced.

However, due to my very presence, which ensured that yishun remains a very safe place, it was largely uneventful until 12noon. thats when my first case started after stoning for an largely unscrumptious morning. Resus case, thot we got it back..but by the time we reached TTSH, hew as let go... he looked at peace though, especially when i could see howmuch he was suffereing before...

and den, i jsut didnt have any calls again until 5pm lah...stoning the whole dam day..yishun is really just too safe..

Ambulance run 2:

This was the night run, the supposedly more exciting one. My paramedics were more fun, and they brought DVDS along man!! so we were posted to the firepost on the outskirts of yishun..and we waited...and watched..and waited and watched...and waited and watched...finally, we waited and we watched again. BEFORE I KNEW IT, it was 7am.

THERE, ZERO calls for the whole night. so much for my ambulance run man.

If you're looking for a safe place to stay, CHOOSE YISHUN! hahah..

come on, last week of Emed, i need more sleep, i need more time.
