Oncall Diary

Anxiety started conquering the heart prior to the beginning. Feeling blue for not able to go home during weekend. But still need to face the week with phone on standby mode.

Day 1:
A peaceful day. Yet couldn't sleep well as was too anxious.

Day 2: 
First question from labour room. Felt like seeing the newborn the next day. Relived to get the first call and finally slept soundly that a call was missed.

Day 3:
Realized that the call last night was to request me to get stocks from other hospital. A colleague was sent instead. Changed to a louder ringtone. Another call regarding supply problems in the ward. Settled by senior. Another peaceful night.

Day 4:
Another peaceful day. Felt that the week would pass very quickly and soon I'll be home. 

Day 5:
Parents were visiting after work. Supply issues in the ward and settled by senior again. Fire drill right after night shift. Deafening peaceful night.

Day 6: 
Working on weekend. Stressed when works came in piles. Inexperienced in assaying a sample had caused trouble to others. Off at 3pm without having lunch. Night shift again.

Day 7:
The finale! Everything turned out smoothly somehow. Hope the night would be peaceful too. Looking forward to the holiday two days later.
