Work was peaceful as well . Took over Room 18 from Joanna . Only hydration , fluid bolus / challenge . Doctor Adrian was saying to order half strength normal saline as patient's sodium is high , and I was trying to point out that patient was given 5% Dextrose with 0.9% Normal Saline this morning .
Physio came and we sat patient on the chair . His wife came in ... Happy .... patient is getting better .
However , patient's blood pressure got low at around 8pm , going to 9pm ...
The night MO on call as well .... she wanted to order Normal Saline when I reminded her that patient's sodium was high and half strength salines were given . In the end , Gela was ordered instead .
E.Bay and Jane told me to run it fast , faster ... I did .
Patient's blood pressure did come up .
I felt a bit guilty .... in the mist of all ... I was a bit ... tired / rude to patient's family members . They were concern about the blood pressure as well .... Thus , when I was leaving the ward , I saw them , and " updated " them that patient's blood pressure came up after the fluids .... they thanked me ....
Guilty .
Passed over to Yan Ching .
Oh ! I was in charge of Room 20 , first case as well ... But yeah , no calls .
So , I flew home . Reached at 10.35pm .
Brother was still on his way home from NUS . He got interview tomorrow and he went to print his documents ....
We had Hor Fun and our hawker centre ...
Skyped .
