Today I just wanna share about my oncall routine. Since here is heart centre and district hospital, so the oncall is usually not so busy therefore only one anaesthesiology medical officer oncall in a day. Pretty scared in the beginning because everything I have to attend and handle alone but here is really not busy. Plus point is, since I was a cardiology MO before, I know the cardiology team quite well so we are able to work with each other comfortably while handling crisis. There were times my cardiology friend, Naemah, slept together with me here. Niceeee XD
After passover with my postcall colleague and oncall specialist, I will set up my oncall room to make sure that I am comfortable until the next morning. Being comfortable is very important especially if I am oncall for two consecutive days - Saturday and Sunday - so that I can last for about 50hours in the hospital. Remember, surrounding is vital to set up the oncall mood although during daylight I will be outside the room reviewing patients or attending new referral or at the library or the cafe. Haha..
First, I make sure blanket is nicely fold with warmer ready as our hospital is fully air-conditioned and it is very very cold here. Also, I will ensure the hospital phone is working and easily reachable.
Then these pinky, I put them like a carpet so that it's easy to perform my prayer and of course easy to move around. (We call this linen pinky because the colour is pink on the opposite side)
And lastly the table must have these - plain water, room key, my access card, emergency drugs (in case I got referral for emergency case), stethoscope, APS and referral forms.
FOOD is important and this is to show off some of my oncall foods yesterday. Potato salad from my lovely colleague, cucur from my housemate who she is an emergency department MO here and that kuih from my patient in the ward. Thank you everyone!!! May Allah bless <3
That's all for now. Have a great day people...
Thank you for reading!
