Post-call Fatigue

I am so tired. Didn't get much sleep last night while on call. Woke up with a heavy head and heavier eyelids. Managed to trudge through the geriatric ward rounds and finished it in a record time of 1 hour 40 minutes. (No patient care was compromised). Thank God there weren't any new admissions to the ward last night and so rounds went a lot faster. Plus the fact I have a HO who writes as fast as I could talk...that helped a lot! Thanks Ganesha!

I am going to take a slow drive back to my hometown. Tonight we will be celebrating my parent's and my MIL's birthday at a restaurant. I just hope I can keep my eyes open! :-)

Tomorrow I gotta get back to KL again to again do the ward rounds. Will have to miss church and Mother's Day celebration as well. Any of you young fellas out there still want to be a doctor? Better think again. :-)

Cheers! May I reach home safely today.
