Dog-tired

It's been a long day. An entire day was spent in the cardiac clinic (preceded by a 'tsunami' round in the ward; because there was no one else to do the specialist round) filled with very impatient and angry patients. Sometimes I wonder why are they are called 'patients' when patience is hardly evident in them!

At 5.10 pm, I left the cardiac clinic, having recruited another 21 patients into my thesis study. I could have recruited more if not because I had to do the round this morning (usually I need not on cardiac clinic days) and the fact that I 'accidentally' saw 2 other patients whom I have already recruited earlier and that ONE particular patient who took up 45 minutes of clinic time telling me how high his sex drive was and that his poor wife could not cope with his needs and that he has to satisfy his itch some where else and that he is planning to marry a second wife soon (he haven't told wifey number one yet!). Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

I think I could write a book on the stories I heard while recruiting patients. I shall call it 'Desperate Hubbies'.

Locum's over (yeah, need the money for the weekend. The hospital again did not pay my on-call claim!) and I just want to shower, and crash. TGIF tomorrow!!

Good nite! :-)
