Quoting from the latest "Te Awa" (#NZGreens quarterly publication - see te-awa.greens.org.nz/landing -
"We should be celebrating our many local
#government election successes. Our 49 campaigns
across the motu saw the election of 28 #Green
candidates, including another Green #Mayor (well done
Nándor!). While it is a pity many great candidates
missed out, this result compares favourably with ACT
Party efforts that saw only nine candidates successful
from 46 campaigns.

"While #ACT was celebrating the number of Māori
wards that were disestablished, the actual voting tells
a different story. Over 50 per cent of #voters supported
#Māori #wards."

Minashi-by-the-Sea (The Piping that Spoke of Nyarlathotep)

#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 9/7 -11

As the moon touched the hazy rim of the ocean, the Cat Who Stole Dreams indulged in one last #meal of the inn’s famed curried prawns, a #mash of almonds and sweet cream, and #distilled lime blossom liqueur. It was just a sip, enough to fend off the night's chill, no more.

Then, as the full dark of night blanketed Minashi-by-the-Sea, she donned her black, dew-spangled cape and her quietest #slippers and went out into the #late night. All was still except for the laughter of the fountains. The chorus of cicadas and revelers had long fallen silent. Not even the few unfortunates stirred by dreams of dark things said to slither from Hypnos Nor Slid’s House heard the soft footsteps of Kurotsuki.

With catlike grace, she climbed the outer walls of the High Citadel of Perpetual Petals. So lithe was her ascent that not a single petal of the trees that ringed that lofty place was disturbed, and thus the #wards that are triggered by their fall remained silent. The silent monitors, without the walls, perhaps saw a shadow flicker, but nothing more.

Thus, Kurotsuki Kaibyō reached a vantage from which she could observe the Toads of Leng cavorting and hear the fateful shrilling of the piping within the tower. The #luminous toads as they danced #round the tower #instilled no fear in her heart, yet a #current of dread set her fur to bristle, hearing the piping that spoke of Nyarlathotep, for it came from far beyond the ken of man.

Woe betide the mortal who, in a dream or drugged state, passes through the portals to that eldritch creature’s dimension. Better to face the nightgaunts or to be torn asunder by the ghouls of Pickman’s ilk than to glimpse the dwellers of that realm.

Shaken but undeterred, the queen of thieves came away that night ready to plunder the heart of Minashi-by-the-Sea.

The Wards In The Surgical Department | Sarawak General Hospital

Related Posts:

The main General Surgery wards in this hospital is located on the 7th floor of the main building which are Male Surgical Ward (MSW) and Female Surgical Ward (FSW).

I entered my General Surgery Posting during a time whereby there were no House Officers being allocated into sub-specialities. The only so-called “sub-specialities” that were available were “Vascular” and “Hepatobiliary Team – HPB”. Both of which are added under General Surgery.

Other teams such as Neurosurgery, Plastics, Urology and Paeds Surgery did not have House Officers. It wasn’t till towards the end of my service in this Posting that it was reintroduced.

Thus, our exposure towards the wards in General Surgery were limited but also made it pretty easy for us to manage.

1. Male Surgical Ward, MSW

Located on the 7th floor of the main building, it is considered the ward which is feared and avoided by many but is also where I’ve spent most of my time while being in this posting.

As the name suggests, it is mainly for male patients with underlying surgical issues or at least being managed by Surgical as the primary team.

This ward is usually avoided by many due to the overwhelming amount of patients which is twice the amount in Female Surgical Ward.

Twice the amount usually meant twice the amount of drama as well as the usual chaos.

My journey in General Surgery ended with my service in this particular ward.

2. Female Surgical Ward, FSW

This ward is also situated on the 7th floor of the main building and it is opposite the Male Surgical Ward, MSW.

As per its namesake, it mainly consists of female patients with underlying surgical issues or at least being managed by surgical team as the primary team.

Albeit it being a “Female” Surgical Ward, there would occasionally be male patients being treated there as the beds in the other wards are usually filled, causing an overflow of patients into this ward.

I started my tagging days in this particular ward and I would consider this ward relatively chiller and laid back compared to the other.

3. Vascular Ward

The Vascular Ward is located on Level 3 of the main building.

If you have done the Paediatrics Posting, it is situated in the same location as “Paeds Nursery Level 1″.

The ward is essentially divided into two, catering to both the Paediatrics Team as well as the Vascular Team.

4. Vascular Extension Ward

The Vascular Ward could only cater to at most, 10 patients. Thus, if there were any more patients to be managed under the Vascular Team, they would be placed in the Vascular Extension Ward or in the main surgical wards.

The Vascular Extension is located on the second floor of the main building, inside the Urology Ward which is situated opposite the emergency department, ETD.

During my service period in General Surgery, I have paid a few visits to the Vascular Ward and Vascular Extension Ward. However, I have never served my time there as I was not allocated to be the House Officer in the Vascular Team and also because it was a team I was avoiding.

Upon my exit from this posting, the sub-specialities were reintroduced again and House Officers were being allocated to other teams.

Thus, if you are due to experience the General Surgery Posting, I hope that you will find it as enjoyable as I did especially while working in the Male Surgical Ward.

It is indeed hectic and busy and going home on time is almost unheard of. Albeit MSW being an extremely busy ward, the medical officers I worked with as well as the specialists were kind, helpful and willing to teach.

Here’s what you need to know about #SteveBarclay’s #proposal to #ban #trans #women from #female #NHS #wards.

Openly #trans #Conservative #MP, #JamieWallis, has #lashedout at the #healthsecretary and urged him to solve #problems “which actually #exist” and also stated there was “no #evidence of even a single complaint bout the presence of #trans #women in particular spaces”.

#Plans to #ban #trans #women from #female-only #Male-Only #hospital #wards in #UK spark huge #backlash

#UK #trans #charity #Mermaids also raised #concerns about the proposed #ban, saying that #trans #women have had access to #female #hospital #wards for years without any issues. “There is no #evidence to suggest this should change now,” the organisation said.

At least 237 wards were closed to new admissions prevent #Covid19 spreading to other patients

That compares to a total of 93 closures up to the end of July for all other infection incidents combined

The true figures will be higher, however, as NHS Dumfries and Galloway has not responded to a FOI request & NHS Lothian said it's unable to provide data
