Period
Having a period, accompanied with low back pain, feeling bloated & nauseous and not to mention how often I need to go to the loo and toilet to either No 1, No 2 or changing. Missed the cuddle from hubby right now.
I was really cranky and inflammable about a week ago.
While all these PMS thingy going on, I have to keep my mood and appearance under check & be totally professional while sitting through clinic & taking history from patient. Did I mention that I have to take history from this timid guy who is the husband, but most of the time, the one who answered & snapped on his behalf is his extremely bossy & bitchy wife. She caused a lot of stir in the clinic, hassling all the nurses and other patients because she had to wait more than one hour.
My soon-to-be-retired consultant has to take history from patient (this is why it is always appreciated when medical student do the history taking), read the referral letter, order tests in the computer, do referral to physiotherapy if necessary, do steroid injection if necessary, explain to patient about treatment, dictating the letters about the appointment, telling nurse to find X-ray/ blood result because somehow the clinic clerk forgot to put them in patients record and also have to deal with computer which will not print patient appointments and teaching medical student at the same time, of course things will run a little bit behind. The 10 minutes appointment is not ideal but this is the so-called government target. Talk about being under pressure, huh. And my consultant does this 5 days a week.
Do you NOW see why you have to wait in hospital?
