My “Day 1 of life” in the Surgical Department commenced on the 4th of July 2024 which fell on a Thursday.

I was allocated to work in the side room of Female Surgical Ward (FSW) with a fellow colleague whom I’ve worked previously in the night shift in Paediatrics.

I left home around 5.45am and arrived at almost 6am and started reviewing as usual. I took some time as I read through the previous entries and used it as a guide to write my morning reviews.

Upon reviewing around 4 patients, a fellow medical officer arrived and automatically, I greeted him and followed him. It has become a reflex of mine as in other postings, we had to be like that, which is a good practice.

He was friendly and had a kind demeanour. Thus, I followed him, not knowing that he is actually the medical officer in charge of the HPB (Hepatobiliary) patients.

Usually, there will be a house officer in the ward in charge of the HPB patients, which I did not know of course, considering that it is my first day. Thankfully, I had a partner who followed the “GS – General Surgery” rounds with the other medical officer instead.

As usual, rounds with medical officers followed by rounds with specialists in the morning and as House Officers, we are their assistant and scribe. The morning rounds ended and we proceeded with tracing the joblists for each patients in our allocated cubicles and updating it in the “MOHO” group as well as proceeded to complete the active job-lists.

This is then followed by afternoon reviews, afternoon rounds with medical officers and specialists followed by the completion of the active joblists and finally starting with on-call reviews and preparing our handover lists.

Considering that I am still tagging, I had to stay till at least 10pm. After completion of the on-call reviews, we followed the on-call rounds and HPB (oncall rounds), clerked and transferred in the new patients, completion of the active joblists before finally heading home.

Overall, my first day in Surgery was surprisingly good and calm. The medical officers and specialists seemed rather kind and patient. Thus, giving me the encouragement to continue despite having heard that this particular posting seemed like a rather toxic one which only serve to instil fear in me prior to joining this department.

Die wenigsten sind "#Künstler" - die meisten aber geben sich als solche aus und #verwüsten unsere #Städte mit #Vandalismus und #Dreck. Vor allem #Tagger sind eine uninspirierte #Pest, die auch vor #Parks und #Bäumen nicht zurückschrecken und oft ihren #Müll zurücklassen. Da gibt's nix zu #verklären. 👎

I'm a sucker for weird and esoteric tags, like these word squares someone has been writing in our neighborhood lately. Each square is a type of acrostic that can be read horizontally or vertically. For example:

T R U S T
R A N C H
U N D E R
S C E N E
T H R E E
