medical staff casualty?

wonder what i will tell you?
As i always told you, medical ward or world is a war zone. Especially in medical ward because too many patient .Thanks partially to casualty dr and our beloved demanding patient.
Today ,i will tell you the real story in my ward for my call for past 2 weeks. It happens at 11pm. During the excitement of resustcitate a Diabetis patient with sudden onset of Shortness of breath or altered behaviour. I saw one familiar feature, my ex staff nurse in nephro ward came in as patient with uniform . After my excitement of saving patient, patient survive.
I went to see her and clark her. she is a 32 year old staff nurse(responsible one), present with sudden onset of weakness on left upper and lower limb. It happen after she got results from lab via phone.Sudden in onset and no previous weakness.No family history of stroke. only significant history is pregnancy induced pregnancy on last pregnancy.Guess what she got? She got stroke. Ct scan no changes and no haemorrhage. The only good thing she got as a staff is a fast CT but she still in third class ward at extension bed.this is the true story happens in penang GH. Working hard and gt nothing special. I called it medical casualty.
Why? You got illness during working. Who said medical ward is not a war zone.
second case happen on my another call , during the on call on 2 am , a 42 year old Staff nurse at 2 am came with stroke. Ct brain is normal with hypertension and diabitis. She was treated approriately.
Sometimes, i think back . Actually doing call is like sacrifice our life (medical personnel) to save other people life. What we got?Medical casualty ? needle prick, stroke,cut during op,blood splashed during procedure.
What we got ? minimal amount of pay. 10 Rm per hour. stroke. Maybe HIV or Hep B or other illness. Getting complaint.A minimal thank you(rare one to get).
So who said medical world is not war zone.

Maybe one day during call, i may got IHD or stroke. Who knows?
