Peaceful
Right at the start of new year, there are so much big time incidents happening around. The biggest one had to be the assasination of Benazir Bhutto (One heck of a woman. Knew she would be targetted, but yet, still join in the fray). Then comes the fiesty local news about Dr Chua Soi Lek's sex scandal. Good thing he resigned, or else i would be confronted with paper's headlines all consumed with stuffs and more rumours about him. Pity that he had to go since he had been doing very well.
With so many stuffs happening around the world, i come to think.......why isn't there anything happening in my life? My life up till now had been nothing but static repetition of schedules. Of course i am not hoping for anything bad to happen or to face anything dangerous, but at least something challenging or interesting.
Life working in the lab hasn't been any good either. I thought of doing loads of work, offering myself to the draconian senior lab technicians to throw every little work they had to me while they go off somewhere and slack off. By doing so, maybe i could get my mind off some stuffs and matters that had been in my mind.
Bad thought and terrible expectation. Work is still very scarce. Till now, there are not much stuffs to do around. And to make the matter worse, all the staffs there are also hardworking, making me trying to squeeze in and snatch away an analysis job difficult. But well, at least all the staffs there are very nice and helpful, except for the boss....................And do you know that there are 2 floors that are totally empty in SMC at the 6th and 7th floor? Seems like volume of patients is very low, contributing to poor business in the lab.
A scenario happened today though. Received a urine sample. For the first time, i've seen a totally red coloured urine. I've seen reddish brown one, but never this red before. When undergo urinalysis, max haemoglobin. And when looked under the microscope, one might even mistaken it for a blood sample. This urine itself is blood. It's full of red blood cells.
But then, Ann who was analysing it also spotted something else. It looked like epithelial cells.................but this only made the whole thing more funny, since you see, epithelial cells SHOULD only be present in females. Somemore, blood in urine is very very uncommon for males. We can't make it out the identity of that cell. It looked like epithelial cells, but its rounded, and some are even multi-nucleated. So in the report, we started to blurt out sorts of description for it such as 'unknown cells', rounded cells', or even 'unknown rounded cells that some have several nuclease'. Search on the net or on reference lab diagnostic books were fruitless. Finally, it was only described as 'rounded cells'. Not long later when the report was inputted, a call from the responsible doctor came. Poor Ann, having to explain everything to the doctor. There was a point when we did thought of putting "Please come down to the lab to ascertain it yourself" in the repor though.
