the year of the Tiger drains the energy in me..

been nearly a year since i last written something here.. dear me..
had been working like crazy for the past 8 months..
1st, O&G: the acclaimed toughest & busiest department,
2nd, Orthopaedics: longer working hours compared to O&G + more energy needed, finished that &
3rd, Internal Medicine: my current posting, surprisingly i found it even more difficult & stressed than the previous 2 postings..! My brain energy is all drained up everyday to the max + have to make sure every little tasks are done to the perfection; worse, the working hours are actually longer than previous postings.. why? because we have to do our own night rounds after 8pm.. even during weekends..!

Mind you, the night rounds are good: for the patient & for those on-calls.. but only after 2 weeks in this department, i am feeling really tired & drained of my energy.. can i really keep it up for another 14 weeks before i left this department?

Hoping the Tiger year would bring fresh vibrant energy to me but i guess it's just to be all drained up into the department... or maybe i should go check if i am hypothyroid?
