Toast

Here's one way to eat your bread!

One slice, tear up cheese and put it all over the top of the bread
Then for the fun of it, I added (of all things) some broken up mamee noodle crumbs on top. This sort of sticks to the cheese after the cheese melts.

Then in it goes to the toaster.
First time it was great man! woo..

But then second time I did it, I came to look at the com and after the toaster rang (which was 5 min later), I returned to find all the cheese had become black. And mind you, that was not chocolate. Arrgh! my toast. But the chao da cheese was nice though. the bread haiya. It was gone. All black! =P

So learnt my lesson. Next time you toast something. Make sure you don't get distracted and do other things. Unless you want to eat really black and burnt toast. hehe

The list

Have something interesting to share.

during my attachment, my friends and I were given this amazingly difficult assignment to do. That is, we had to collate information of all the injections found in the inpatient pharmacy. Please note its not the "impatient pharmacy". It's inpatient. Meaning that this pharmacy supplies medications to patients who stay in the hospital.

Anyway, we split the job, and made lists of the medications. To give you a clue to how tough it was, it was basically 100++ medications split among 3 people. And not all the injectables had an available patient information leaflet (or PIL) that we could take for reference. So for that, the list of medications we had was really important.

Time was at hand. We had only one week to complete the assignment with the fact that we were all so tired at the end of each day for every day different pharmacist will ask us to search for information each day.

One week passed, and the pharmacist who gave us the injectables task said "Tomorrow I'll go through it". That night, I went home and finished up my part. To my horror, I could not find the list that I had made. I had all the PILs that I had collected with me. But no list! So by memory I tried to key out the names of all those medications that were on the list but had no PIL.

I guessed that I must have left the list in my pharmacy jacket that I've been leaving in the hospital (We don't bring our jackets home all the time). So the next day, when I arrived at the hospital, that was what I checked. huh! no list in the pockets of the jacket either. So I guessed I must have left it at the inpatient pharmacy.

So when work began, I went there and searched for it. Could not find it at all!

Then I walked to my friend and told her I give up finding it. I've lost all hope. Then I decided to start packing.

For those who have never been to a packing room before in a hospital, there's many yellow boxes that we call "bins". This is not rubbish bin, but the box contains different medications. And each bin has a label on it. This is the code number for the medication in the box.
Just when I said I had lost all hope, I happened to dip my hand into one of those bins. I still remember it was prednisolone (steroid). And guess what came out of that bin? My list!!!

Who would have known? I must have left it there the day before when I had to pack while holding the list in my hands. I was so thankful when I saw it all I could say was "thank you! thank you!" Thank you Lord! It was as if my list had just fallen down before me from the skies!

That really made my day. :)
