Random ramblings of an Oncology trainee

Sometimes you get what you wished for...

and I thought today was the last day of my BMT month... sigh...

I had mentioned in my previous blog that I wished I had learnt a little more about Allogenic Transplants... guess what? Just found out that I have to go back to the Allogenic Service to cover for an colleague who is out sick... I guess sometimes you get what you wished for :)

My colleague who was suppose to start the Allo service tomorrow has been ill for the past few days. I offered to cover for him, and he initially declined. He just called to say that he will take me up on the offer... so... looks like I will have to wake up at 5.30 again tomorrow...

Actually, at least I know that my colleague is someone that won't take advantage of me... he is someone that would have come in if he felt he could make it... so... back to BMT... probably for a day or two... maybe I will get my wish fulfilled and learn something :p

The Allo patients are sick though... everything from horrible opportunistic infections, CMV reactivation, graft-versus-host, failure to engraft, serositis, to just being plain sick. I don't think I would want an allogenic transplant performed to me...

Anyways, got to go to sleep... long day ahead...
