Something to update!

Hello everyone. Today is friday n it's weekend again. Was in opd (outpatient department) during the last 4 weeks and is going into TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring) department next week for 1 month time. After my posting to TDM, i will need to start to have on-call for PCM poisoning!

Life in opd had been hectic but it's nice as i have a bunch of prps to talk to, to play with, and the time passes very fast! PA (pharmacy assistant) was nice too, and the bosses are good too! Some patients are just so nice and they love to talk to you! n some are so lame!

Last wed was my very unlucky day! 1st: early early morning, a patient approach to the counter when i pressed her number, and her 1st ques is: WHAT IS IFG? (stated in diagnosis of prescription) n then, i was like, huh, i dunno oh! Start asking my colleague beside me and asking all those experienced PA. No one knows though.
Then my answer to her is: I am not very sure.
Then she start bla back: What? you dunno??? you should know. You are the pharmacist and you should dispense the medications according to the disease!
Me: But i know your medications are indicated for hypertension as one of her diagnosis was hypertension as well.
Me again: Did u ask the doctor what's your disease?
She said: No oh. I just realized this "IFG" this morning. (as this is a repeat prescription).
Me: So do u wan me to check for you? so, just wait for a moment then.

So.. i go into the room, asking my bosses. No one knows oo. then, boss ask me to ask DIC ppl. n DIC ppl gave me an answer of : IFG: inferior frontal gyrus (a structure of the brain in between cerebrum). Ok. Cos there isn't any internet connection in opd, so i can't search it online! If search online, i just need to type IFG and i can find out the answer already! so, go back to the patient and tell her the same answer DIC ppl told me! (jus found the correct answer to that abbreviation, should be impaired fasting glucose)... haha

2nd unlucky thing of the day: Was being inspected by the audit ppl (what they called the procedure of ISO).. dispensed for 3 patients and auditor was just standing beside me.. so gang cheong... n did something memalukan oso.. lol..

3rd unlucky thing of the day: Patient prescription was not counter signed, n asked patient to get back to the doctor n counter signed. So... kena marah by the patient and said he wil phoned to the hotline and sue. saying why he needs to go to find specialist and get countersign while the prescription had been signed by a pegawai perubatan! So what. Pegawai perubatan can be just a HO, they don hv the power to prescribe you such expensive drug. and that's the procedure of getting countersigned when u want to have expensive medications. Who cares u ever took atorvastatin in hospital labuan, but currently u r in hosp QE, pls don mix things together! haiz! n he said he is going back to labuan at 4pm while that time was just 1.45pm. So, can't you jus move ur ass n go to get counter sign instead of waiting there n cari pasal dekat sana! His presence just make everything became mess! long queue behinds and he is jus buat bising there! u have so much money to take flight to labuan, don u jus buy those medications urself outside! n u came to QE just for the medications or u r seeking specialist advice? but the one u went for isn't specialist too! haiz... nothing to say!

that day as well, went to Sutera harbour Magellan for talk and had very heavy dinner! this sat got another drug talk n next fri got another talk again! .. .. . . . so nice oo..
