We had clinic today, it is one of the busiest day in the week, and coupled with the fact I am on call, I know I have long day ahead.
I started seen patient by 9am while my consultant join me an hours later. The only time I could stand up to stretch my leg was around 7 hours later. To make matter worse there were no free space to admit patient. We could only admit three.
First patient is to have removal of plate and screw tomorrow and I was told I am to handle it. While the others are being prepared for major orthopaedic surgery on Monday.
While we were at the clinic, we had four consults from accident and emergency. We finished the clinic around 4pm and left to review our emergency cases.
One had claviclar fracture, while the others presented with knee injury, low back pain and gangrenous foot.
By the time I have time to rest it was almost 2:30am on Thursday morning.
