Wahey! Back to work…

The fact I’m getting to work with no real traffic problems, suggests to me that most average workers are taking extended holidays…bastards!

After getting advice of friends that have done ITU, I tried to be more enthusiastic for my job. Still feel like I’m totally inept and almost nauseated by my lack of confidence. One of the ST2’s managed to do two subclavian vascaths- git! I’m jealous everyone is getting the opportunities. Hopefully this weekend when I’m on-call, it isn’t so busy that I am able to do some lines and present some cases for CBD’s and CEX’s. Tried an A-line in the afternoon and failed, though the reg did struggle, though he did eventually get it into the brachial artery using the Seldinger technique.

I need to be more proactive with my days and try and get as much out of this job as possible.

Oh yeah! Happy New Year to everyone!

I was fortunate to go out this NYE, as last year I was on-call. Several drinks, music, random house party and poor sleep, resulted in dehydration and a “fuzzy” head. Though I have no plans to make any resolutions, I shall try and be a bit more healthier this year. Much as I loathe to join the gym, I will probably end up doing it…shit happens.

Man ‘Flu

I’ve got man ‘flu!

I feel shit.

My symptoms are continous sneezing, runny red nose, fever and drowsiness.

My nose is slowly going red due to using rough sandpaper-like tissues, rather than soft man size tissues.

I am on regular paracetamol and hot drinks.

I hope i don’t proceed to superimposed bacterial infection.

I have no plans to take any sick leave, but hope i don’t spread my man ‘flu to other people.

Feel drowsy and knackered.

Nighty night!
