I spent Christmas being on call. Sounds bad right! Somehow it wasnt bad at all.
Firstly it wasn’t busy at all and I had plenty of rest! Rounds were fast and we even had time to have a small Christmas meeting in front of our Emergency Department.
Second, no patient died. I felt thankful about it. It would have made me feel terrible if any child had become very sick and died, but I was spared the agony.
Thirdly I had great food! My colleague Jolly brought some food from home cooked by her mother for lunch and I gulped it down hungrily in my room. The custard was amazing.
And for dinner all of us on call in the ChildHealth department ordered food from a restaurant and had a great time together!
So it wasnt that bad at all. I managed to have a looong chat home and so well… it was a great day!
