your friendly neighbourhood S.T.D.

for those of you who *still* don't know, stephanie, Dora and I are working together in the same unit at RCH. We now have a mentor - one of the nicest anaesthetists - aka "CB". (yip, the one who tried to learn Hokkien swear words - only to find it's his initials)

Today us three sat down to write down the objectives of our AMS year. We sent it to CB and at the end of it, we attached a picture that I drew on the whiteboard. Shown below:



And we signed off as "your friendly neighbourhood S.T.D.". I'm sure he had a good laugh as he was reading it.... He asked if we were contagious...

LOL....

As for my project, it's getting harder now. We're close to starting the actual data collecting but we haven't finalised the detail as yet. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ASSESS how awake a patient is after he/she wakes up from the anaesthetic? Some suggestions were: ask them a command question. SIF a 2 year old will wake up in a good mood and wave "bye bye" as you command. *ARGH*... wat do to wat to do...... Gotta start thinking.... I bet you the nurses will hate me fairly soon. The thing is they prefer that patients wake up themselves. HOwever, as part of my study, I need to try to wake them up at time X and assess if they're awake and match that to the number on the BIS monitor (an equipment to test how awake a person is).

*SIGH* ... so far, the nuses are pretty nice... but not for long - i know it!

oh and 40 min train rides don't feel as long when I train with friends~ In the morning, there was albert & sharon Hii. on the way home, I trained with Kat and we had a good chat - a lot to do with cell. Should hold cell leaders meetings on the train!

Anyway... hmm.... not much else to say....
