June-bivalence

Lot of things running in my mind (as usual) and my emotions as of this moment can’t seem to keep up. Hashtag – June, please be good to me.

School, has finally finished (thank God) BUT that awful theoretical exam (which turned out to be purely anatomy) has eaten us all alive. I could still recall how me and 19 other classmates crawled out of the testing room. Hashtag – good effin luck!

As much as I enjoy my new work in theatres, I think I miss the concrete jungle that is the ward. Mainly the interaction with the patients. Not thay I have anything against my new post. I’m honestly having fun and the people are just lovely, it’s just that I think I want.. More. Hashtag- career decisions.

Homebound. I’m coming home next week! 70% of my ambivalence is accounted for this reason. I’m excited and nervous and gaaaah! Serious planning will surely come after. Wish me/ us luck! Hashtag – homecoming thrills!

I have too many plans and goals to achieve for myself this year and for some reason, I feel the pressure building up. I have this insane feeling of running out of time and losing some opportunities if I slack off. Hashtag- Pressure pa more

Rantzilla

Three straight days then one day off then three straight nights then went straight post shift to meet a friend from California, toured him around London for 2 days (imagine: walkathon in the day + pub hopping in the night) then back home the next day to prepare and decorate by day then baby shower + after party by night; then 430am call time to catch a flight to Prague— 3days in Czech, 2 days in Austria (imagine the walkathon I did again). Then, before going back home I encountered 2 suspicious security checks (coats and back left at the holdong area), delayed flights, long (and I really mean long) queues at the Gatwick Immigration (they’ve gone much stricter because of the threats, I guess); this caused us to miss the trains going back to Essex so we had to find alternative routes cause heyyyy I have work in the next couple of hours.

0230H. Finally got home and needing some rest and sleep. Woke up at 0645 to get ready at work. Went to work, ward busy as usual but doubled as we’re short staffed and I’m in charge. Oh, did I forget to mention, I’m gonna do 4 straight long shifts till Monday as well? Ha! 2 out of 4 now and my body’s giving up on me.

Buhbye.

Effects of NTG Sprays and D-Dimers

My “heart problem” led me to the A&E this morning. Triage, observations, ECG, Xray and 30mls of blood later, my visit was concluded with elevated D-Dimers, Naproxen tablets and Nitroglycerin spray. I guess this was one of the side effects. :))
