Back to Business

Things were slowly picking up after almost the whole of KL stood still following a super-long weekend post-election. The road were pretty empty in the morning and I did not have to make any school runs. On the domestic front, my father-in-law had also been discharged.

Anita had been busy sorting him out in Gombak and she was clearly tired in the evening. I had taken a couple of days off to celebrate the start of Ramadhan, although I still do my morning rounds.

I had some paperwork to complete during those days off, rounding off my stuff for the MSH Meeting. I also had to do some shopping and sorting out the bills. I wouldn’t mind doing some shopping for Raya as well while I was at that!

Behaving

It has been almost a week since the implementation of the new HMIS system at SJMC and it had been a trying one. There were quite a few mishaps but in the end considering the doom and gloom we were anticipating, the week ended pretty much where we started. Nobody really knew what to expect.

Some people were impacted more than others. I had a relatively slow week apart from the weekend when I was on call. The clinic was pretty light until this morning where it ran over until after lunch.

I was on call today and the hand overs seemed to be OK. An admission earlier got her medications missing, but it was easily rectifiable. Despite the busy clinic I found the new system to be workable. The problem I had earlier was with ordering CT scans. Thos would need sorting out since I would be ordering many more of those!

Let’s see how things pan out in the second week ….

Casual Day

The Malaysian Society of Haematology would be holding our yearly Scientific Conference later this week and I had been gearing down my clinic for that as I would be involved. This morning in fact, I have cancelled my clinic in Subang but had to make my way to Park City for a session. And today, I was just dressed casually in jeans and sneakers, and everybody was wondering why.

Well, best to wind down the clinic fast as I have some things to do this afternoon plus a talk to attend from tonight.

Happy Conferencing!

Real Start to 2016

The New Year had really kicked-off now after a nice few days off work. Did my first call last night but it had been kind. I managed to get some sleep. And I woke up refreshed this morning for the first real clinic for the year.

Today being Friday also meant my weekly walk from to the mosque, and the weather was searing today. I was drenched when I finally arrived back to the hospital for my afternoons rounds.

And it was followed by a meeting which took me to early evening. And then I was out again with the boys for our customary Friday night out.

We got 3G!

Finally, the Celcom coverage at my Park City clinic had improved. It used to be alone. Virtually no signal making contacting me from Subang when I run clinic there a pain.

After 3 years, it looked like the problem was finally rectified. Good 3G receptions everywhere. No more relying on the hospital Internet for Facebook etc. Some space to do personal stuff.
