Surprise, surprise, I am a pharmacist! #1
Sometimes, things that I do not know surprises me.
Like diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. I thought it was an antitussive, expectorant thingy. Isn't that what's Benadryl for?
Simple simple simple things like this..
It's like a a standard 3 kid who doesn't know her ABCs.
I am so amazed by myself.
Did I forget this? Or I simply do not know?
Btw, it can be an antiemetic too.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Drug Info of the day:
Protamine sulphate
Use: Heparin overdose / neutralises heparin effect prior to surgery etc
Administration: 50mg in 5ml to be given over 10 mins via infusion pump
In M'sia, it comes in the reconstituted form, hence, omit the 5ml WFI recon.

Once I mentioned that it is one of my dying wish to see a helicopter land in front of my place and to my absolute logic that it is a piece of wasteland.. well, it finally landed! No camera, sorry. But I still think it is a wasteland because the helicopter landed on the wrong site! Instead of landing on the helipad, it landed on the piece of grassy land next to it.

This place brings to you people that you grew to love and really care about. This place also brings to you people that brightens up your day. And this place also brings you people that will cause you a severe anaphylactic reaction. It is so bad that it can cause convulsions.. a bitch fit to be precise. And I blame it all on the hormones. Amazingly, hormones can be a powerful precipitating agent. It's not me, it's the hormones!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ironic. I was so darn free just last week. And this week (onwards), I am super busy. And the work was not scheduled. It just popped out of the box.. at the eleventh hour. Grrrr...
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sometimes the world puzzles me. No, make that most of the time. Logic doesn't apply, I realised. You can't attempt to answer and analyse everything with logic. I later realised that logic is not the best solution.. it is whatever that makes you happy. And then, in some obsolete case, logic is not something everyone is born with.
I am getting so sarcarstic and evil. Sarcastic is good. Evil is bad. I am balanced.
I should stop.. the hormones are really powerful!
Next...

Darn these postings!
The thing about this job that I really dislike is the on-the-go concept. They can at anytime send you a letter and off you go pack your bags and show up at the new place. And we are not talking about big big towns, we are talking about remote areas which you have no clue which corner of the peninsula they are. You are supposed to find your way there and once you found it, your adventure has just begun. Then comes the part where you try to find a place to stay assuming that in small remote areas, people actually have empty places up for rent. Then after that, when lonliness knocks, you are to find new friends (as in buddies.... *fingers crossed*). Then, when you decided that practising weight-losing isn't going to keep you alive and you need to eat, you have to shut all your sensorium and gobble down whatever they have to offer even if it means the same nasi lemak everyday. Like E-VE-RY S.I.N.G.L.E day!!!
And the worst part is that once you've settled down in that lifeless place and begin to love it's surroundings, you have to anticipate for another move...
Goodbye my breakfast buddy, holiday-roommate, travelling companion...
Life here would be different without you.
Am glad you got somewhere you are happy with.
May we see each other soon... perhaps in May when I'm there ;>
Take care...
