Orange alert.
Like...
If I am not in the hospital, life is actually pretty much the same out on the streets.
Well seriously speaking, being away from workplace for like 3 days and before that it was only green alert, I was literally LOST in the company that I have worked for for almost 4 years, having no idea on which route I could take to get to my department.
Why?
There are barriers set up here and there, sign in boards and people are hogging at the place, I was not sure whether I need to sign in at that entrance point or I could just walk in straight, and there was no one available to direct me on where to go.
So, since no one stopped me, I walked straight in and realized that I need to use my access card even at the door which is usually opened.
It was sure confusing because I don't report in to the hospital daily and I only work like 7 days in 2 weeks?
Anyway.
Last night was a busy night, busy updating myself with the whole stack of information came about these 3 days, changes, changes and changes.
Every minute something new could just come about and we need to know everything we need to know.
*Stress*
And for the latest, tentatively I do not need to wear uniform at work, instead we will be in scrub suit. Beside the OT posting that I had at CGH like almost 5 years ago, I have never ever been in scrubs before, so I was looking here and that for the size that I should wear.
Kinda comfortable though, and it was like kinda amazing that I could fit into a "S" size top (My head was a bit stuck, didn't expect my head THAT big) but I need a "M" size bottom so I won't look like some "farmer", lol.
Especially when you are already half suffocating when you are behind the N95.
Yeah, the N95, I was wearing it for like less than an hour jumping around settling the new case and under that mask it was like a "mini-waterfall"...
YUCKS!
I was perspiring all the way as it was simply so HOT
!
I could hardly talk because the moment I open my mouth all the perspiration is dripping into my mouth!!!!!!!
ERKS!
But what to do?
I was telling Guan, I would probably be presenting some of the symptoms of the Swine, shortless of breathe as well as dizziness, if I have to be in that for like straight 12 hours.
Lol.
Oh yeah.
I can understand the full meaning of what is call "一波三折".
My transfer to SGH has to be postpone indefinitely due to this flu thingy, and I guess I could only see some "light" when the alert level is back to green, which no one can foresee when.
-Sigh-
What to do?
Safety still comes first, may be it is all designated though.
By the way, last night Dr Sean was on call and you know the end story, the whole night I keep hearing him walking in and out of his room, the rate was so much higher as compare to the others that I worked with.
The first line he asked me at 1900hrs when he saw me was "you are not on now right?" with his trying to pray hard tone.
I feel so sorry
for shattering his hope and have to tell him "yes".
And...
The poor team was so busy that we heard it from Dr Angela this morning.
My sympathy
, but...
There is really nothing I can do.
I don't dare to anyhow touch the roster though I very much wanted to, if it does really help in giving them a better shift.
And...
If there is no changes, this man will be on with me again say next Friday?
I guess all that I could do...
is to wish him good luck.
Sorry
~
I think...
He is gonna hate to see me at work very soon if this continue to happen.
Sigh

Me and Guan in scrubs.
Me waiting for patient.
Tonnes of messages to read over the past 3 days of events.
Information to digest and absorb over the whole night regarding protocols and changes as I was still in my first year of nursing school during SARS period, so many things I need to know!!!!!
Geared up in m drager mask to wait for case to come, almost suffocated.
