Sunday, 30th of June 2024. I was allocated to work as the morning shift house officer at Paediatric Isolation Ward 3A. It was a Sunday.
At the time of writing this article, it is September and currently in my fourth posting which is Surgery. I should be pushing into my third month in Surgery but considering my recent injury in August, I have been on 6-weeks medical leave.
Looking back, my last day in Paediatrics was extremely lovely.
Working during the weekend in General Paediatrics especially Paeds 3A meant that there is only one medical officer who will do the morning rounds, which is usually the oncall medical officer and grand rounds with specialist is only once which is in the morning.
Prior to my arrival that morning, I knew that there were only two allocated house officers on duty in the ward that day. Me and a colleague of mine.
However, my colleague was on medical leave and was unable to come to work. I started off with morning reviews at the acute cubicle as usual and continued to the next cubicle while awaiting another house officer to be reallocated.
Considering that we were tight on manpower during that day, we each reviewed the patients on our own and directly presented to the specialists.
A lovely person was reallocated and I enjoyed every bit working with her. We completed morning rounds at almost 2pm and proceeded to complete our morning discharges and take any STAT bloods.
Then, we went for lunch and proceeded with acute bay reviews and continued with our afternoon discharges.
Upon completion, we spent time talking and joking. The hours were filled with giggles and laughter till it was finally time to return home.
We returned home on time that day at 6pm.
My third posting ended on a good note as well and it was one filled with tons of fond memories. It is one of the posting that I would not mind repeating.
If you are due to commence the Paediatric posting, I sincerely hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.
