1st step forward

Assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I had my first ever on call as a medical officer. For your information, medical officer is a step above of House Officer, or houseman as they call it in Malaysia. Medical officer is a fully registered doctor, after completing 2 years as a medical graduate.

It was a super exhausting call. I was pretty much non stop running from 8 am till midnight. The climax when I received a call asking for my presence in a premature 31 week pregnancy in labour.

Saving his life alone took almost 3 hours.

I went home the next day at 10, and was absolutely flattened out till 2 pm.

It was a good learning experience nonetheless.

till next time,
assalamualaikum
