Life Still Goes On

Just had a bit of relief after ending my first part rotation in the ward. With 2 clinical case presentations, 1 case report, 60 case clerking, 60 admission clerking and tonnes of counselling within 4 weeks in a medical ward, hopefully the knowledge and skills that I had learnt will not be forgotten. But my working life is not about doing my own part of the job, helping doctors to communicate with patients and showing respect to family members of patient who is going to pass away were also part of my role to be a passionate pharmacist. Just be mentally prepared each day before entering the ward. 

Just some sharing with my fellow friends especially pharmacist out there. Iron tablets, notably Ferrous fumarate (33% of elemental iron) can also cause intoxication if patient allegedly ingested in large amount. It will get worsen if they take in with Vitamin C tablets. That's about it!

Enjoy and have a nice weekend.

Busy Busy Busy...

Life is no longer easy as before. The time being in the ward is the time where you need to dig everything out from your brain and to apply them into current situations. Spending time in the ward for almost 12 hours a day, without a face-mask despite of having patients with suspected TB and pneumonia cases in the ward, and also sleeping time is less than 7 hours a day, it really makes me wonder is it worthy to do it?! Gosh. Luckily my immunity is strong enough to fight against the range of microorganism in the ward. Ok, back to work. It's now 8.20am. Time to put some entries into my log book.

Hope to have some free time to spend!

Enjoy and have a nice weekend.
