Not something I was looking forward to, but all good things have to come to an end... My holidays was well spent with family and friends...not to mention that Choon Yan was there with me... I was very pleased to see that I had only a few patients to see in the morning...However, when I left the ward at 8pm (yeah, 8PM!), the ward is full! Both nephrology wards had been pilling up with patients througout the day...it was worst that a warzone when i got out of it... Did 3 stab PDs, one femoral line and a CVP...first i tried a short line via the internal jugular...failed, then used the ultrasound to help me out, also failed...the best part was I finally go it via a peripheral vein! I should have gone there straight in the begining...for some reason, that guys peripheral veins are larger than his central veins...or perhaps my skills just needs more polishing up! Total of 18 stab PDs, 4 IJCs, 4 femoral lines... I had a patient who came in today, on regular haemodialysis, not having dialysed for 1 week! When my consultant saw him, he almost fainted...he came in septic looking, tired, febrile...Some patients' level of education really needs to be strenghtened...the best part was the nurse told her that she didn't need dialysis; so now i'm wondering whether its the patients or the medical staffs are at fault!
