Today, I am on call again. On a straight EOD calls for three days in a row! Since I go on call for quite sometime, I had seen many types of people lingering around me:
Some, albeit rare, are the hardworking type, working beyond the time limit set, working beyond their boundaries, never feel tired and always ahead of other colleague. They help you to take blood for the patient, arange for caesarian section, buy you dinner, talk to you and tidy up the mess. So far I have seen only 1 out of 25 housemen.
Some always watch the clock, punch card ready since 4.30 pm, eager as ever to go home. As the clock strikes 5, they will transform from little filthy mice into a handsome stalion. With a magical "pop", they will vanished into thin air, like never existed. Any new cases that pops in at 5.00:29 will be considered cases for the on call people. Haha. What do they care about other people?
Some people feels like chips more (T). Now you see it, now you don't! They are mentally and spiritually be with you during your on call, but not physically. When you need them the most, they will say:" Hey ya, I need to go and pray, can you sort of cover me for a while?" Then they are gone. After prayer, they will text you again, saying that they will go and take a bath, and then go for dinner, and then spa, and then meet the uncle's best man durinmg high school... then only they will be back on call.
No matter what type of people you are, please respect you job. When you are dealing with live, they deserved nothing second best. Do the right thing and do it right.
