FINALLY! it's Friday!!!! I feel like I have been undersleeping for the whole week!
This weekend will be the first weekend that I'm staying in Hamilton...and I gotta say I'm gnna miss the hockey games =[ buuuuut, my days in the OR have been hit-and-miss, my preceptor even said that I'm still working rather slow. See in the OR, as Anesthesiologist Assistants, we have to do checkouts on the Anesthetic Gas Machines (AGMs). At St. Joe's, there are 14 OR suites (therefore 14 AGM machines), we have 1 hour to do them all. This guy is so specific in what he does and how he does it (I think he has been an RT for too long to deal with some new student who is coming up with his own version of how to do the checkouts)...so anywho, in order to do 14 machines in under an hour, we have just over 4 minutes on each machine. First of all, he says he starts at 0600, but I would come in at 0625 and he'd still be changing, so that brings our time down to about 40 minutes. so now we have under 3 minutes per machine!! So I try to work as fast as I can, and I got 2 of them done in 10 minutes today....and that's still too slow for him!!!
Anyhow, next week I'm expecting to do some intubations...which is when we put a breathing tube down someone's trachea. Some people are harder than others of course, so hopefully I'll get them done...I need 10 like the ABGs...this is kinda hard b/c the medical AND anesthesia residents want to learn how to do them too...so it's going to b a frenzy that could turn into a bloodbath if the preceptors don't take care of us properly haha
I ate the soup tonight....they were goooooood meat =P and had a lot of bawang goreng to go with it too! so good dinner tonight hahah tomorrow...it looks i'm back to Pasta, Spam, and beans...It'll b time to restock on groceries soon, and that means seeing what's on sale at Fortino's...considering there's a sale on Haagen Dazs ice cream bars there, you all can imagine wat my meals will be made up of =P oh and what's the cake for this weekend? I might run out and get some tomorrow....
don't worry too much adhi, you just need to practise more. unfortunately if your supervisor wants it to be done in 3 minutes then 3 minutes it is.
ReplyDeleteno,no cake this weekend. i think we're a bit tired of cakes for now. i do have my daily dose of 1 (small) kitkat a day though. josh and mel dutifully surrendered all the kitkats they got from hallowen to me, ha..ha...
for dinner is bakso and tofu. josh keep saying that it's a bundle of preservatives :-)
noob =D
