Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are a bit dragging don't you think? Especially when you are On Call Status. You come in at 7:30 a.m., do your morning rounds, finish your daily progress notes and if you are lucky attend to an OR procedure, then you have your late- breakfast-early-lunch meal and wait inside your OnCall Room for ward calls or referrals. At around 11:30 a.m., you go to your fellow PGI On Duty to endorse all of your ward patients then you pack up for home. Sundays can be slow but it's the kind of "slow" I need. The rest of the week is always a rush. Sundays are the only days in the week when you are told to slow down and take a breather. It is during Sunday mornings when you get to have breakfast with your fave junior consultants, or enjoy a trivial conversation with the nurses, or do brief and light visits with your patients in their rooms. Even the "toxic" patients can't help but smile on Sunday mornings. Blessed is the God who Made Sundays.

And to everyone, may everyday be a "Sunday" for you!
