It's The New Year Everyone!

Woohoo! It's 2010 already. Time just flies, doesn't it?

In retrospect 2009 seems surreal now, and I can't even believe that the first half was spent in a continent far far away from Malaysia.

But anyways, new year, new start, new motivations.

So, bring it on!

Where Time Just Passes So... Mundanely

Tick tock tick tock..

It's Monday. Dang! It's 5 (or 4, depending on whether Friday is a holiday or not) more days to the weekend. Darn... Why so long?

Tick tock tick tock..

Gosh, is it only 8.30 in the morning? It feels like forever!

Tick tock tick tock..

Metformin 1g bd for two months... It means I must supply 2 x 2 x 60 = 240 tablets for two months rite? Yeah, better if more CV fellas come in, easier to fill..

Tick tock tick tock..

What? Must compound nevirapine syrup? Coz patient only 11 years old? Wah so young? Pity the ki- ... Yeah, yeah, I'm hurrying to do the syrup dy. Faster faster, must finish within 30 min! 1 tablet 200mg. Patient needs 60mg bd. 60 x 2 x 15 = 1800 equivalent to 9 tablets? Wait must be within drinkable volume? 60mg in 5ml means.... 12mg/ml, so 2 weeks would be 140ml equivalent to 1680mg which doesn't make sense? GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Tick tock tick tock..

Sorry Auntie, must wait for your number. Yes yes, I know only 3 items on your slip, but sorry.. I can't get them for you now coz one of them is a special medicine, need extra time.. I know got no parking.. Oh yeah, can't dispense this coz it's not written on your slip.. You must ask your doctor about that.. Apa kamu cakap? Maaf, saya tak faham Cina (so no point scolding me anyway. And same to you too!)

Tick tock tick tock..

"Selamat petang, Farmasi, boleh saya membantu?" "Augmentin dosing?" "It's normally 625mg bd." "Yeah, you're welcome."

Tick tock tick tock..

"Selamat petang, boleh sambungkan saya kepada Dr ***?" -waits a loooooong time-

"Selamat petang Dr, I'm *** from Farmasi, calling regarding your prescription for ***. I'm afraid that we only have gliclazide in 80mg strengths in our pharmacy.. So, I'd just like to confirm the dose of gliclazide for this patient?"..."I'm really sorry for wasting your time, I'd just like to confirm the dose." "I'm sorry to hear that you got the dose from a pharmacist earlier." "Yeah, so I'll change it, thanks for your time"

Tick tock tick tock..

Finally 5 0'clock!

The next day..

Only 3 more days to the weekend! And the cycle repeats.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
