今天在查房一个老年女病人,她好转了我准备拿掉她的导尿管,然后order bedside toilet。但是我看到她床边已经有toilet seat了,我就问,为什么你有导尿管还要toilet呢? 那个老太太瞪着大大的眼睛看着我说,well i need to go big one too, honey.

I really love your blog, also envy your courage and pleasant personality. This is my first post ever in wenxuecity, I simply can't help expressing my affection for your writing. It is fantastic you can write down your path in the midst of your intense life. I just discovered your blog yesterday and have been totally absorbed by it ever since.
My parents have a family friend in China who became an excellent doctor at the same time a very prolific and renown writer. She is a super woman. I can see your bright future along that path.

Haha, don't feel bad if you don't spell things right. My American born docs frequently ask me to spell certain words. I tease them back " Give me a break, I am a immigrant, don't you speak English?", and they would say " hey, this is not English, it is Latin". Also, I attack them back when I can't understand their lousy notes, "Your handwritting is so bad that it looks like a scribble, I bet you don't want the potential lawyer to understand".
When they claims they can't admit another pts and is too tired, I would say " Let us call nurse stat, to give Dr. so and so IV coffeine bolus"
We need fun when we constantly overworked, aren't we?

Tell you one of my embrassing moment, when I was a intern and post call, I wrote a pt's diet order: Liquor diet instead of Liquid diet. Of course, nurse immediately paged me. That incident became the joke of our team. The other intern would tease me and ask me to take some of his alcohol withdraw pts. Other residents would ask me to be their docs if they ever admitted since I would give them Liquor.
无意中看到你的blog, 一篇一篇读下来,会心地微笑和流泪..
喜欢你的文字,欣赏你的为人..
用心生活的女孩..从来没有想到医生的世界也可以这样迷人!
我也羡慕得想写blog啦,总觉得好多感悟和体会如果不记下来就白白流走啦..
我是一个graphic designer, 现在london读ma,由于种种原因花费了很多心血的这学期的final project 居然fail,要过两个月重新提交..很沮丧,把自己封闭了快一个月(因为这期间大家都在歌舞升平party狂欢),
看你的blog很给人鼓舞..
