To survive one of the bloodiest on call was one of the superb feeling to any of us out there. You feel like you did your job and earn a restful post call day.
Last night was one of those when the phone call just wouldn't stop ringing till morning. It ended at 7am with the final call from the ER docs wanted to get an opinion on an elderly lady who was brought in very ill.
The ECG of interest finally landed in my hands, and true enough we made the right decision at the very crucial point not to thrombolyse the patient.
When the on call ended, I dragged my sleepy body up to the canteen and have a jolly good breakfast with my mates who just arrived with fresh clothes and smiley faces and I on the other hand could have won the "smelliest haggard-looking ogre" award of the year.

Doctors shouldn't eat nasi lemak. You guys should eat beans and more beans everyday!
TD: Nanti aku taruk bedak banyak2
DwD: Yeah? That's the whole idea.
Pak Mat: You're so kind. Thank you for your kind words sir.
SPD: Beans are boring. Unless you spiked them.
