I'M NOT OKAY


I'm shivering inside the "freezer". Have not been feeling very well over the past few days & it sure doesn't help much to be working in this uncondusive environment. Doctors are also human beings, we are not exempted from falling sick. I have not been doing much today, except for seeing a few patients in the ward. I feel so tired that my eyes just want to close (lethargy induced ptosis). Perhaps I should get toothpicks to keep my eyelids apart. I have come across people who request (or demand to be more precise) for MC for the slightest fever & the slighest aches. But when a doctor falls sick, he or she would still have to continue working & doing oncall duty until he or she is totally debilitated & bed-bound.
