CRAP day.
Feel so lousy.
CRAP CRAP CRAP CARP CARP CARB CARB CARB CRAB CRAB CRAB!
*sigh*
Gave wrong ‘done to ‘done patient.
The problem is that I gave him another patient’s dose which is MORE than what he’s on. If it was less, it would have been easily remedied.
There IS a logic to why people say, “Don’t assume because it makes an ass out of you and me.”
Such an ass.
Feel so lau beh although people at work were really nice about the whole issue.
Am glad I’m not working tomorrow – I’d prefer to unwind away from work for now.
It’s not even a want, it’s a need! 
I’m probably in our room, preparing for the assessment tomorrow. Thank goodness we got a room here in the inn itself – don’t need to rush to assessment centre!
We are to report ourselves at 9am and for me, my interview is in the 10-1030am slot. Then about an hour wait (!!!) before the scenario block from 1120am-1240pm.
After all that, we will go home and wait to hear our results (the wait is about 6 weeks).
Please help me pray that I will pass my assessment.
I don’t want to end up in a position where I have to wait for another 6 months before I could be reassessed again.
Healthcare and drug (as in medicines) issues here are for all to know/see/hear.
Maybe it happens back home but I don’t remember the public being so informed/involved.
So far we’ve been through issues with levothyroxine (patients experiencing side effects after the reformulation), script charges (came out in the papers saying HawkesBay’s pharmacies charging too much!), hospital scripts to be able to code “4′s” and now it’s something to do with a pharmaceutical company’s manufacturing site (Ranbaxy’s Lovir, Amoxycillin and Cefaclor – Medsafe considering a ban)
This would mean we would all need to be updated (thus me in front of the telly watching NEWS at 6pm!) because you’re bound to get people asking you about it the next day – whether in person or through the phone.
Then hor…I’m made confused by these people using eltroxin=levothyroxine. Isn’t Eltroxin the brand name from GSK?
You know how medicines have their brand name and then the generic in smaller print? Well, the imported levothyroxine that we got for one of the patient last month had the brand and “Eltroxin” at the bottom of the brand name. Pelik, kan?
Even if Eltroxin was part of the brand name, is that possible? I thought the name is a registered trademark?
*shrugs*
