start of bad call....

 There call was bad lately – patient came in 20 minutes interval. I did not have a good rest but still able to survive the call. With Only 2 day shifts this month, my life is considered good. Even though there is a cut of working hour, I still get a plus on my pay slip after the increment.

However sometimes, I really feel that the health insurance is so cheap. With RM25, one can come to the ED and request for a specialist consultation compare to RM 60-100 in Malaysia.

In every 3 calls, I would meet have some drunkard sent to ED by the local rescue service just because someone saw him laying along the roadside and reported it to the rescue service or local police department. Those were merely enjoying a good nap along the road side after his enjoyed his drinks. But there was one guy who is the WOW (worst of the worst ) guy. He had once summoned the ambulance for generalized discomfort and later walked off straight from the ED and enjoyed his noodle soup opposite our hospital.

But sometimes you can also see irresponsible parents who brought their child to ED just because they felt their child is having a fever with their hand only – half of the time it was a false alarm.

Minus this reckless and irresponsible, I could have slept better.

My family was lucky as I treat my children instead of sending them to some ENT surgeon for pediatric consultation… Save a lot of time on waiting….

I wandered I would ever get away from this ED life….
