My First Day In General Surgery – Tagging Day 1

Related Posts:

My “Day 1 of life” in the Surgical Department commenced on the 4th of July 2024 which fell on a Thursday.

I was allocated to work in the side room of Female Surgical Ward (FSW) with a fellow colleague whom I’ve worked previously in the night shift in Paediatrics.

I left home around 5.45am and arrived at almost 6am and started reviewing as usual. I took some time as I read through the previous entries and used it as a guide to write my morning reviews.

Upon reviewing around 4 patients, a fellow medical officer arrived and automatically, I greeted him and followed him. It has become a reflex of mine as in other postings, we had to be like that, which is a good practice.

He was friendly and had a kind demeanour. Thus, I followed him, not knowing that he is actually the medical officer in charge of the HPB (Hepatobiliary) patients.

Usually, there will be a house officer in the ward in charge of the HPB patients, which I did not know of course, considering that it is my first day. Thankfully, I had a partner who followed the “GS – General Surgery” rounds with the other medical officer instead.

As usual, rounds with medical officers followed by rounds with specialists in the morning and as House Officers, we are their assistant and scribe. The morning rounds ended and we proceeded with tracing the joblists for each patients in our allocated cubicles and updating it in the “MOHO” group as well as proceeded to complete the active job-lists.

This is then followed by afternoon reviews, afternoon rounds with medical officers and specialists followed by the completion of the active joblists and finally starting with on-call reviews and preparing our handover lists.

Considering that I am still tagging, I had to stay till at least 10pm. After completion of the on-call reviews, we followed the on-call rounds and HPB (oncall rounds), clerked and transferred in the new patients, completion of the active joblists before finally heading home.

Overall, my first day in Surgery was surprisingly good and calm. The medical officers and specialists seemed rather kind and patient. Thus, giving me the encouragement to continue despite having heard that this particular posting seemed like a rather toxic one which only serve to instil fear in me prior to joining this department.

The Worst Morning Shift In General Surgery | Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

I can’t really remember when as at the time of writing this article, I am about to cross into the second week of 2025.

Perhaps it was somewhere in October last year or early November.

It happened to be the day shift on a weekday and we were lack of manpower. 3 House Officers in the Male Surgical Ward, 2 House Officers in the Female Surgical Ward. Out of the 5 of us, I am the senior and the rest are first posters, three of which are only Day 3 into their housemanship life.

Oh dear…

We all know how busy Surgical can get and being the only senior that day surrounded by newbies, it was as good as being alone as they were not familiar with the system or the work or the procedures.

Learning does take time.

The day started with me taking care of the acute beds. The acute beds in the ward is considered the most unstable, hence it only made sense to allocate the senior, which is myself there, followed by the subacute cubicles.

The front cubicles and back cubicles are relatively stable patients. Hence, I allocated my juniors there. Usually for first posters in their first week of life, I would not allocate them independently to take care of a cubicle. However, we were desperately short staffed that day and taking care of the front or back cubicles are not easy either especially if you’ve just entered.

The day was busy enough. Started with me following rounds at acute and subacute with my medical officers and again with the ward surgeon, only to leave midway as the Hepatobiliary Team (HPB) had their own separate rounds and I was the HPB house officer for that day.

After rounds, it is the completion of the joblists. Amidst trying to complete the joblists, we had to transfer in new patients, take and send off the bloods of patients who have just entered as well as attending to any acute issues.

On that day, I had to assist with the front and back cubicles as well and in the afternoon, the juniors left for their Operating Theatre (OT) orientation.

My phone literally rang non-stop that day and the nurses kept haunting me down for everything. If only, I had the ability to clone myself…

Suddenly my phone rang and I had to assist a registrar to help tend to a visiting outpatient, attend the female surgical ward acute issues because the medical officer on-call called me as well as attend a virtual meeting.

Time flew by rather quickly, one minute I was escorting a patient, next was being called upon by this and that medical officer or registrar or nurses. To the point, my post-call registrar stayed back to assist me.

As the evening progressed, most of my patients desaturated. The annoying thing about Surgery, we had to update the whole story properly in the oncall WhatsApp Group for the day.

If only it were as easy as that.

We couldn’t just take a picture of our entry and update. Instead, we had to properly type the whole summary or stay.

I finally completed my task for the day at 10pm. It was an extremely exhausting and tiring day. One which I have no interest in relieving again.

That was probably the worst morning shift I’ve ever experienced.

However, looking back at what I’ve written, it doesn’t do justice to what I actually felt that day.
