Shopping cheers people up

I was sad last couple days. Few bad news hit me recently, the worse one was NO promotion for this year. Anyway, I was off from work yesterday, so I wondered around the shopping center, I ended up in a sale place for Abercrombie & Fitch. The salesgirl was very persuasive, I ended up buying 2 washout jeans, 3 t-shirts. They cost me a fortune, but surprisingly I felt so good afterward. And my blue mood was totally gone, adios.
Shopping really cheers people up, even for men. I still feel good now.

Telephone call

One of my favorite colleagues called 10 minutes ago to tell me about a patient I saw yesterday was HIV positive. I was sleeping when the phone rang, I was not particular excited, the reason he called was not to tell me about this , the real reason was that that patient had emergent operation for his wound, and the operation room staffs called my colleagues and yelled at him for not telling them about the fact. My colleague himself did not know about the patient HIV status until they called, he was polite enough to explain that he was "innocent", In fact, a "victim" just like everyone in operation room. .......
The truth is that here health care providers still see HIV as a 'must -die" curse. I don't think those nurses in OR have right to blame my colleague, isn't that universal precaution applied to every patient? Treat everyone as if they all have deadly disease.
I was to suppose to sleep until late morning, now I am up already and can't go back to bed.

I delivered a baby

Everything happened so quickly, just 20 minutes ago, a women came to ED screaming
"Baby's head is out already"
The mom was rashed into our resuscitation room, I quickly put on the sterile glove, asked mom to put her legs up against the handrails. The top of the head appearedpartially in the vagina opening. I asked mom to push hard when next contraction came. Few seconds later, contraction came and mom just pushed hard and screamed hard too. Luckily, the baby came out smoothly and healthy.
It was a special moment when the baby was delivered, the baby crying sounded as a celebration of coming to our world and the room was full of joy and happiness.
It is not common to deliver baby in emergency deparment locally, but for some unknown reason I had delivered two babies in a month in my ED. And thanks Gods, all babies were fine and arrived to our world safely.

Fruit gift box

While I was eating, a female colleague sitting in front of me pointing to a fruit gift box on the coffee table, and she called out my name,
"Doc Vic, that's for you, the fruit gift box".
I thought she was just joking, I kept on eating my lunch.
Then she said "there is a sticky note on the box with your name and the name of the gift giver".
What's that name again? I asked with a curious voice.
" x#o*@"
What? ......... A female name did not ring a bell at all.
One male staff made fun of me as I jointed the club of secret admirer.
Well! I didn't think I was that attractive or charming to have a secret admirer. But to tell the truth, I did felt good anyway...

Random thought

It has been a while to come to visit my own blog, a lots happened to me the last few months, a lots first-time stuffs. A week ago just for fun I created a webpage where there are several short movies of my recent travel. And totally out of my expectation, one of the movies became so popular and was viewed more than 3000 times in the first 24 hours. Now, the counter number is still moving up, I just checked the webpage and the count was 8564. This is unbelievable! And I am so excited!!
