NIGHT DUTIES

Am back here after a long gap... just finished my set of night duties for this month..
let me share few things about them. As a doctor on call at night , i will be resposible for all the lovely people coming in with their pain and sorrows of health during the odd hours of the day...This is a start..

Now, i have to hold a pager to attend calls and to unwell people in whole hospital in my speciality i.e. in Elderly care for the moment..(someone as said absolutely right about them as "Old age is second childhood" and i completely agree with them.) Cute old grandpa's and grandma's cant hear nor can tell whats wrong with them and entirely depend on what we can decipher from their expressions...and ofcourse reactions to pain.....

Funny things happen at night...Everyone is tired, some bored, few flirtatious (atleast something good @night as there would be no competition to grab hot and caring Nurses attention)

On one of those busy and demanding nights,saving people's lives (well thats what i feel when am at work:),lot of things were going on ... a nurse calls and says this old man's heart is racing like a horse do something,an other calls 'this young 96yr old has a chest pain' and an other nurse from one of the far end wards of the hospital pages to see a very sick man who is not responding....Now i was thinking to prioritise where to go to save a man with racing heart, a woman with pain or about a man who might have be in his eternal and blissfull sleep with those sleeping pills ...

Voila! there comes a nurse shouting "Doctor, Doctor... come fast i found a big bed sore at the bottom of this lady" beaming with a proud face that she discovered something which the morning staff missed and probably not cared well....so as a lone doctor had to attend to this wonderful nurse's excitement....
Guess what it turned out to be? well with whole staff of Auxillary nurses,students and helpers looking and eagerly waiting for my esteemed opinion in a floodlit cubicle...
I shouted its not a sore its a "BLODDY ASS-HOLE>>>>
You can imagine what the atmosphere there might have been by now......well i leave that to all guys who might be reading this blog.....
