sniff sniff. im sick damnit.

haven't written in sometime. generally because ive been busy busy busy.

however seems that ive overdone it recently, no thanks to my wonderful mentor whos been hounding be for more nightcalls and ortho cases.

as such i spent wednesday night in NUH, leaving at about 4.45 am.
got to see quite a few things though - henoch schonlein purpura, galeazzi fracture, supracondylar fracture and a fractured clavicle. all this as well as a few other crush injuries.

have more pharmaco and ortho to do. so im spiralling into a hopeless panic. damn.

oh. haha. interesting anecdote. the fractured clavicle guy was damn tough! he fractured it during the day at around 2pm at a rugby match whilst blocking off a tackle. when asked why he only decided to present at the A&E at around 11.3opm, he casually shrugged and said - it wasn't that painful with a splint on.. and besides he had to go for his post N'levels prom.

Can you imagine how garung that must have been? imagine a guy walking around during prom with a triangular sling because of a fractured clavicle. he was still smiling when he said this.
