the problem with MAU oncalls

The problem with doing a week of night oncall is sometimes you ended up working 12 days with a seven days of 12 hours shift. Your system is completely exhausted and shattered. The so-called 12 hours shift sometimes doesn't leave much break time. If its full swing admissions which is what tend to happen, you will end up clerking endlessly to make plan, discharging people and moving people to wards. If you have sickies patients, being bleeped one after another, then to hell with break. Patients first. It makes you feel crappy when you realise you are not winning the situation, having to tell people, " It doesn't seemed we are winning, he/she slowly slipping away from us. Be prepared for the worst outcome". You usually able to shake off the feeling 5 minutes after that, and get on with other jobs. (sometimes it makes me wonder where has all my emotion gone? but then i realise i have an automated one for work). You try the best you can, innit?

Apologise for being in crappy tempestuous mood this weekend!
