had a collapse case recently. my first since october? haha.

went better this time. didn't panic. everyone was cool and calm and collected, which struck me as a little weird. cos of you know, naturally you should be like a headless chicken about death and all that.

me, kak and my jr all did their jobs great, though i guess i could have improved just slightly more. i should have passed her the LMA faster and i could have inserted the airway guerdal before proceeding to CPR. ah well.

after that, when we conveyed the body to NUH, i was supposed to collect the BVM from the dead patient, and when i went to do that, his eyes were staring at me. very glassy, lifeless.

you know those movies where they show the main character suddenly tio stunned when he sees the dead body. it's fake.

managed to say bye to him as a sign of respect.

you can get used to seeing almost anything if you learn to separate work and life.

final note, i'm not going to KL anymore. was severely dissapointed than i let on. kak says that it's probably a blessing in disguise. very good disguise.
