Bet I have been relying on the mask at work... May be a lil' over-reliant on it.
How long has it been that I am wearing mask at work?
I think it's almost a year ever since the starting of H1N1. Well, at the beginning it was kinda suffocating, especially when I have to wear N95 when there is a patient back in the ICU days, and then the cross over the ward that I am in surgical mask is a must, there is hardly anytime that I can take off the mask except when I am getting off work.
From can't get used to it to discovering the benefit of wearing the mask.....
Somehow, for those who know me or rather, for those who bearly know me, they always think that I look very fierce when I don't smile; which the mask has actually solve this problem, with more than half of the face being covered, when my thoughts are wondering or when I am focusing when I am doing some dressings or so, I don't have the worry of looking "as though I don't like to work".
Lol.
The best part is, sometimes when you are eating or chewing something hardly anyone would notice it at all. *Naughty*
Since talking about work...
Kinda worry that I am going back to work tomorrow. Just got a mail explaining that bed situation has been really bad, some patients having to park at the A&E for days before getting a bed in the ward and it won't get any better as there are 2 wards closing down to make way to build a new building for the heart center. Now I am kinda worry that they are really serious about starting corridor beds in the ward. Just imagine all the oxygen and suction are built in wall and if anyone of the corridor patients collapsed...
OH GOD!
That is all that I can say. -Sigh-
Apparently TTSH has already started corridor beds and if this started in my place...
Think it would be kinda dead, I remember having to leave the beds at the corridor because the cleaners need to polish the room or something, there is hardly any space to move at all!
And now I know why Mr Khaw has to apologise for building the 2 new hospitals late.
Think this situation can only get worse over the next few months till the new hospitals start running.
I bet SGH can never close down their A&E the way like what TTSH ever did, as it is the largest institution in Singapore and no matter how hard it is, we would just have to take it in.
-Sigh-
只有既来之，则安之了。
