PATIENT OVERLOAD

There are days when there are so many patients to see and little time to relax. And this would cause me to wish for more breaks. I even have days when I wish I could refuse to go to the clinic. But this is not so. Yesterday was the worst time of my professional life. I started to have flu with colds and fever with body malaise. Everybody gets sick of flu including us doctors. I played golf in the early morning thinking that I could bear the disease. But after playing, I was starting to get weak. I thought I won't have so much patients to see in the clinic and could relax for the day. I was mistaken. The clinic was full of people and most of them were surgical. I had to do a very extensive dressing on a diabetic patient. The minute I finished everyone, I was so exhausted to drive home. I did not like to eat but the wife insisted to take my meal. I hit the sack like a falling timber.
