Sending aids..

Been going to my sister's "rescue" for the past 12 days or so.. sending "aids" to her..

Every evening, she would call me and ask us to send her dinner.. her only proper meal of the day.. She has been working from 6am to 12midnight everyday for the past 18 days or so.. with whatever free time that she has left, she tries to catch up on her sleep..

Luckily for her, she is working in her home town, thus she could depend on us to get her food, clean clothes and toiletries.. and of course, words of encouragement and some TLC are thrown in too... :)

After this hellish 18-hour shifts, she will be doing a "less-crazy-but-no-doubt-still-too-much" 12-hour shifts for the next 3+ months or so.. and she needs to be on-call.. :x :x From what she describes, the patients are coming and going like on "conveyor-belt", and the beds in the wards are almost always occupied.. thus, every time a siren is heard, we can't help but sympathize with the doctors and nurses in the local hospitals..

With such ridiculous working conditions, the authorities are still wondering why so many doctors want to leave the public hospitals??!!
