Rushing for deadline.

This few days I have been very stress out. Everyday we rush to meet dead line of this and that. This is Malaysia standard of procedure. I pass up the ACR, than not quite right again.Do again. Then the chief matron say tambah this and that again.OMG! How long I have to continue ? I don't know. Tomorrow when I see her again, she will say something again.Oooooo.
Praise the Lord, that I am born thick skin. Or else I also can't cope with all the funny thing going on.
Hey DD cut her hair! beautiful le.Next week DD is going back to school. next next week ,I am taking my annual leave for 10 days for CNY.
One day, we met the psychiatric specialist. we tell him we want to see him for counseling. He ask--why? we say that we are burnt out. He laughs and tell us that if the boss is not stable, then we are stress. May be it is true. Hey, he knows what actually is our problem. No wander, he becomes specialist in psychiatry.
Yesterday, the UITM col ledge tutors come to meet us. I thought, why on earth is this? Ha ...ha....
I am never too far from guessing. My boss is always correct. Nothing is free in this world. They want us to help them to coach their final year students for their management final semester.
Funny Dr's tales that I want to share with all of you.

1. A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells,My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi'. I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly, after protests from the lady, I noticed that there were several taxis and I was in the wrong one.

2. At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patients anterior chest wall. 'Big breaths,' ... I instructed. 'Yes, they used to be,'. . . replied the patient.

3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her on her mobile phone reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a 'massive internal fart.'
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg Royal London Hosp.
4.During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me that he was having trouble with one of his medications. 'Which one ?'. . .. I asked. 'The patch; the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!' I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked 'How long have you been bedridden?' After a look of complete confusion she answered . .'Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was still alive.'

6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a man I asked . . .' So how was your breakfast this morning?' 'It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste.'. . .Bob replied. I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labelled 'KY Jelly.'
Submitted by Dr. Leonard J. Brandon. Bristol Infirmary.
7. A nurse was on duty in the A&E when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered . . . It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for an immediate operation... When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read . . .'Keep off the grass.' Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which read 'Sorry... had to mow the lawn.'
