grateful to: to my Anthurium florist for grooming up such a cute bouquet for my dearest Valentine.

Initially I thought of writing about Valentine, but I guess I will do it another day.

One wise man(or maybe woman) once said that


Here's the thing.

One of my C-Section, I blundered as I missed out doing tubal ligation and noted it before patient was pushed out of OT. Patient had to be recleaned, Pfannenstiel reopened for the tubal ligation, extending the op time from 40mins to 1hour.

Anaest Dr requested me to fill in the Incident Reporting for the incident. And so I did.

Later, at 11pm plus.

Been in OT since 7.30 am in the morning, doing countless C-Section from dawn and probably the next op is the 9th or 10th for the day. Pretty tired, I must say.

As I was entering the uterus, and trying to deliver the baby, while my assisting house officer vibrantly giving fundal pressure, this creature makhluk ogre anaest Dr. Tay (Not her real name, or the race it might signify) came up to me. She was pointing to the Incident Reporting form that I had just filled, telling me what I had written wrong and how should I have written it.

I told her politely, "Can we talk after the Caesar, I am delivering the baby"
And she kept going on showing me another white paper form to fill in a louder tone.
It was really getting on my nerve. Period.

Without this disturbance, I would have minimized the bleeding to half it should be. Luckily it was uneventful.

I do not about Good Clinical Practice of Anaest People anywhere else(not generalizing), isn't it an informal rule to

NOT DISTURB THE SURGEON WHEN OPERATING (ESPECIALLY WHEN PATIENT IS BLEEDING AWAY) WITH TRIVIAL NON-URGENT PATHETIC THING LIKE INCIDENT REPORTING?

Secondly, isn't is it out of jurisdiction to be going through my Incident Reporting Form and correcting me.

I usually have a high tolerance for stupidity, but for being so BIADAP. I guess my silence is enough.

I wouldn't resort to turning the OT into a boxing arena like what happened in UMMC between the Thoraco Surgeon and the Anaest years ago.

This annoying and totally BIADAP incident was not reported to any authority, because I can see I would not have make any difference. This wasn't her first BIADAP incident.
Even as she MIA during her house officer years was not met with any repercussion, I believe her MO years would be a long journey of uncontrollable childish BIADAPness to others.

From all this, I am actually grateful. Grateful that she was not in my department.
