T minus 10 months

I had more than a hand full of patient under my service… well, I am still a physician by training. My agreement with the hospital was : 2 night shift per week, no shift from Friday and Weekend and I had to care patient from nursing home….

Well, everything had changed for the past 4 months, shift was less ( 8 to 9 -> 6 to 7). I need to attend the specialist clinic in the rural govt clinic(Extra pay….and nothing to shout and spit). But now, I covered for the Sunday night shift(Monday nightshift waived)… monthly Saturday afternoon shift…. I worked from 6pm to 6pm on Monday. My commitment to the ICU is interrupted under such setting…. Things are changing, I am not sure the current situation would last how long…..Boss is ok, the management is ok and I am doing well – my involvement in the MIS is currently smooth. But I am not sure that I would shake out from my night shift – as a ED guy, night shift is a must but 8 shift is too much… I am thinking of less – working as a physician post much challenge, but I would need a sub specialty. Either way lead me to a path of training. I am seriously considering a training post – I had a few in mind…a sub specialty in internal medicine may lead me to a very rural area…Emergency medicine is better but I would land myself again to endless night shit. I am jumping into a bush and the thorn is everywhere..

I have seriously considered my plan and the T minus is 10 months from now …. The MIS project need to be completed – the process is more on thinking now, I had most of the skill I need at the moment …. Formulating the interface is my main focus at the moment. As a user cum programmer, I know what I need and hopefully the final product is --- physcian friendly...

I had begun my physician training late - 33 y/o, no remorse....
