    Surviving A Month Of Tagging In My Fourth Posting – Surgery | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    I tagged for almost a month here.

    The tagging timing in the Surgical Posting is from 7am till 10pm which is same as with other postings, except Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G).

    In the Surgical Posting, we all have to complete a compulsory 14-Day-Tagging period irregardless of having “off-tagged”. Entering the Surgical Department as a senior or fourth poster, we are allocated to special shifts such as night shifts in ward or night shifts in ethe emergency department (ETD).

    This serves as an advantage to us seniors as we do not have to work the morning shift for one week straight prior to having an off day. It is also better as it allows us to recuperate in between by not having to go to work extremely early.

    However, the disadvantage is that our tagging period is somewhat extended.

    As I mentioned before, we are required to complete a 14-Day-Tagging period. The night shift is not counted. Hence, the tagging duration can go up to 3 weeks.

    For me, it extended up to 4 weeks due to my medical leaves (MC).

    During my first week of tagging, I took a day of medical leave due to extreme fatigue and in the second week, I took 3 days of medical leaves due to extreme fatigue and COVID-19.

    At the time of writing this article, I am on a 6 weeks medical leave due to my ATFL injury.

    Sometimes I wonder, if I will ever exit this posting and proceed with my last which is medical.

    Back to the tagging part, thus my tagging period lasted for a month.

    Going to work as a tagger, I would leave home around 5:45am – 6am. Partly because I’m just tired and felt like I needed more rest because there will always be an active issue in ward and I am only able to return home at 10pm.

    In the evening around 7pm, I would go for dinner after handing over to the night colleagues and completing my tasks and on-call reviews for the day. Most of the time, it would be our first meal of the day.

    Some days, we would be done by 8-9pm and on some days, earlier. Most of us, upon completing, would head for dinner and head home or to just head home straightaway.

    This is wrong of course but we were simply exhausted and burnt-out during the tagging period. Thus, we grab the opportunity while we could.

    Towards the end of my tagging period, I started bringing packed dinner boxes and reheating them as work prior going back.

    Surviving the tagging period in the Surgical Posting was hard and tiring but eventually, it did came to an end.

    Thus, if you have yet to enter the Surgical Posting, the tagging period is indeed tiring as with any posting. However, try to learn as much as you can and take comfort in the fact that it does come to an end.

    Daily writing prompt What things give you energy? View all responses

    Working in the hospital, I wished that I had endless amount of energy. This is due to the never ending amount of patients as well as the lack of manpower.

    Despite having completed your side of work, you just wished that you could help out. However, once you are done for the day, the thought of even going out is too tiring, upon returning home.

    Thus, the evenings after work are usually spent recuperating and resting before going to bed to repeat the whole thing again the following day.

    These are what keeps me going throughout the day.

    1. Coffee

    I need to have my morning coffee. I just absolutely have to.

    My morning is not complete without my morning coffee as my body will feel sluggish and tired. I’m somewhat also more irritable and unable to think or move fast.

    Perhaps it is the caffeine addiction speaking.

    After I have had my black coffee to start the day and packed my necessary coffee flasks for work, it is then that I am ready to walk out the door and head to work.

    2. Chrysanthemum Tea

    I have built a liking towards cold chrysanthemum tea.

    Personally, I enjoy the sugarless chrysanthemum tea. However, the ones available at work are only those in the can and has sugar in it.

    Nevertheless, I still make do with it. Besides it is affordable too. Sipping that cold soothes my soul and reenergises me.

    3. Cold Green Tea

    In addition to cold chrysanthemum tea, I would usually prepare a jug of green tea and store it in the fridge.

    This is for me to enjoy upon returning home and also serves as a healthier alternative to chrysanthemum tea which is packed with sugar.

    Thus, the things that energises me are not food but simply drinks.
