The first couple of days......

I better start writting before i forget.Kapit is a really beautiful place,surrounded by hills,the mighty rejang just nearby,i guess if you like nature then it's actually a great place to visit

Stayed at this inn called greenland inn,nice cosy place,definately much better than i expected.Service was really good,first day arriving i definately felt like a tourist.

Started work on the 2nd day,pengarah told me to go and cover the surgical ward,quite lucky cause i still had a specialist,but there were still a lot of unsettled work.Chemo to do.Getting used to the work.

Next day i was on-call,wow being on-call in the district is scary,the place is cut off from the major town after 3,no boats can go,no helicopter's.So if anything happens or you hv to do it's all in your hands,sigh.Post gawai so all this ill kids came with chest infections and diarrhoea,sigh,admitted most of them,one kid did not look to good,took extra care overnight then sent him off to sibu the next day.Worked as usual the next day,referred lots of cases,so happy that i had friends/specialist everywhere who helped me with whom and where to refer,otherwise it would hv been an even longer process.

Today is saturday,went in late,had a good breakfast in town,covered the paeds ward,so many ill patients with high fever,so almost all had to be kept.Later helped cover the ER till bout 3,had lunch,then got back.Sigh on-call again tomorrow,and it's a sunday.

Being in district is akin to being a houseman with a heavier set of responsibilities/burden on your shoulder's,of course overall you become better,but not sure after how long the fatigue,frustration,working hours will get to you.We are after all human's who crave some love,care,attention.If they're posted to districts they need people around who would help/just be there fro some moral support,how many people can be as patient/strong.They say patience is a virtue,not sure how mother theresa does it,but we can't all be her now can we.They say you must make the best of what you have,you cannot play GOD,but arent we all doing that at some point of our time,it would be a lie to ourselves if we arent.

Can just pray and hope for the best,if things are meant to happen they will,true freinds will stay and the rest who don't,i guess we know then.....
