On Kids + Job Satisfaction

     I slept off at 10.30pm last night, woke up to talk to my man and slept off again because I was so tired from posting in Paediatric ward. I had a good day yesterday, clerked a case of probably acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma *because specialist didn't wanna label her off as asthmatic yet* and stayed till 4pm even though we were left alone without supervision due to unforeseen circumstances i.e. one of my Paediatric professor decided to leave MMMC *still am skeptical about this because she's not the kind to leave suddenly without informing us* hmmm..feeling a lil' sad, will kinda miss her eccentric giggles.

     I left the ward feeling absolutely elated, maybe it's because of the Kopiko sweet I'm currently addicted to, or mainly because the patient's mother actually asked for my name yesterday, after a long talk with her at bedside, not merely a one-way conversation whereby I asked for details of her child and she replied with tons of medical symptoms, but a  long conversation where I answered her doubts and we discussed nutritional plans for her child. Not that I'm a nutritionist but I believed I've read enough and knew a lil' bit more than her on what to feed a growing kid with chronic long term illness like asthma.

      Anyway, it may sound silly and a little narcissistic to others, why, she's only asking for your name but, believe me, when you have so many patient and family members that you see each day, none cared enough to even ask for your name because they think that you are troubling them every day by asking so much details but yet not able to contribute to management of the patient. That's why I had the best job satisfaction day ever! Off to lecture now. Ciaozz
