Christmas Week

This week is christmas week, and it's my on call week as well. On call? yea, when the Dr or staff nurse phoned you, he/she will tell you, r u tdm on call, janice kan? then she will say, there is a PCM poisoning case here in female medical ward 2. Can you come over to do the tdm? ok. So i will then ask her, how many pcm tabs did the patient ingested? then she said: 10... ok. so, i need to do then? she said: yes. ok. erm. 1st time being phoned up at 2am in the morning, in the super blur condition, i will definitely say ok, i will go. But 10 tablets isn't sufficient to kill the patient herself, and the tdm level tested will definitely will LOW. 2am drive to the hospital, and hospital isn't that near to my house... arrive there at 2.30am... do the level and finished quite fast though! wrote the on call time in the on call book for pharmacist. Then to claim for time off. A good experience to get up in the middle of the night and drive to hospital. Next day another on call @ 6.30pm. This is early. Patient ingested 10 tabs (again) and i needa test for the level again! Since it's still early, n my fellow tdm prp has promised me to go with me as beforehand we had agreed to be back in hospital for a urgent digoxin sample. Ok. but this call is a pcm call, hoping that the urgent digoxin blood sample can be sent to the hospital from hospital kota marudu in time so that i do not need to drive twice to the hospital. Pick up my fellow tdm colleague aka my good fren to go with me. And she brought her dinner with her so that she can have it in the tdm room. This time, level measured is still below toxic range. and luckily the digoxin sample arrived in hosp queen in time! so that i no need to go back hospital for another time. Spent like around 2 1/2 hours in tat room cause of some problems. 1st, that blood sample for pcm was taken @ 3 hrs 30mins post ingestion, which is of wrong sampling time. and i phoned to Female medical ward to ask the S/N to faster go n ask the on call doctor to take another blood sample. and thanks to the nice S/N that she managed to ask the Dr to take another blood sample in 1/2 an hour time. On call week is a stress week. They will call you at any time and u must be super alert!

Christmas eve, my brother organised a bbq and i ajak some of my colleagues to be here at my house! That day was my 1st day of on call and i am super scared that i will be asked to be there in hospital. But don care, after that bbq dinner, we went out for movie... and a really scary situation happened @ 1.15am where me and my friend were in the car to be back home. suddenly there is a little boy appear beside our car and he was asking for money for food. We r so scared ... lcukily my fren had locked the car door right after we pop up into the car. And luckily that boy din kick our car or so. Scary .. n luckily he went away when we don peduli him! huh... scary!!!

Ok. Week in tdm.. n next week is my last week to be in tdm... later will be going to tpn! oo..
