Goodbye 2009

The last day of 2009. Got no time to reminice the past year. I was on morning shift. Was a busy day as expected. I treated a lady who crashed her motorbike to a stone wall, who miraculously just had a stable maxillary fracture and needed some stitches. A mother and son with gastroenteritis. Some earaches. And just at the end of my shift I got an emergency call. The caller said the patient is unconscious and not breathing. I was expecting an elderly person with a heart attack, but I was quite surprised to see a young lady with a rope mark on her neck. This 35 year old seemed to have committed suicide. She was already asystole but we still tried. I'm quite disappointed to fail the intubation 3x, what ashame. But I gave my best. I hope she rest in peace. What a case to close my last shift of the year. 
Then I got a call for an appendix surgery at 9. So here I am. In my scrubs ready for surgery, as the last thing I do in 2009.  No complains. Though I thought it would b fun to spend my new year with my mom. But I don't know why I said yes to this surgery. I also called T and told her I want "I love you" to be the last thing she hears from me his year. I miss her. 
Well, I got to go now an appendix is waiting to be removed.
Goodbye 2009, the year full of experience I will never forget. But I am looking forward for more exciting things in 2010 and start a new page in my life :)
