Sneaks

Tsskk...heard Asian/Aussie whisperings behind my back at the emergency department yesterday regarding an unconventional management of a patient with uncontrolled diabetes. Or rather, the ENDOCRINOLOGIST's protocol, conveyed to me via the phone as I informed her about this patient. And she was apparently the EXPERT in diabetes mellitus in the hospital.

It was a thankless and frustrating job for us sometimes, having to review patients for the consultants/attendings who were on call and act as a reluctant bridge between the ED and the medical department. And to be subjected to the merciless scrutiny of the "brilliant" young registrars from ED and other specialties, and bearing with the impatient tones on the other side of the phone when we called our attendings at 11pm disturbing their sleep...

And of course the sneaky whispers and mousy gossips which perhaps were integral of the culture or upbringing here? Anyway, homosapiens....

On a lighter note, I sneaked upon a love quiz on a fellow UK-trained surgical trainee's blogsite: www.blogthings.com/whatsyourlovestylequiz/

Geesh...not that I swear my life upon this. And I am surprised it came from him, with all that eccentricity and idiosyncracy in him.

Anyway, I am a PRAGMA, based on its evaluation. In other words, I have got to meet the PERFECT MAN at the end of the day. Sounds tough.
