yesterday was the most shack day in my working life. woke up early and reached office ard 7ish cos it was dosing day. day started rather well... at least dosing was smooth. had my appraisal before lunch...not bad either. unit was v pack by noon cos there was admission for 2 studies yesterday. i had 19 subj admitting for 1 protocol and 8 subj for the other. rather chaotic. when i was back from lunch, the nurses were struggling with the bld tube labels. the IT guys were not ard and there was screening ongoing for another protocol. not sure wat they were doing but the bld was eventually sent to *gh.
at ard 5 ish... the bld results for most subj are in except for 1 guy. and this guy...die die also must pass the blood cos the protocol needs 10 subj to run and we only have 9. we waited and waited till *gh lab called up and said they got an extra blood sample with wrong label *duh*we told the clerk to process as per norm. can u imagine how wols they are? the bld reach them at ard 2 pm... till 5pm they den call and ask abt the sample. kaoz! really v stress... cos the study management over at UK v anxious to noe if we will get all 10 subj. so we pester the lab to process asap. i was not feeling well since i came back from lunch. chill, headache and aching. throat was v v v sore. at 5ish i already knew i will be down today. yet i wanted to stay back till the result is out. we pester the lab for the result ard 7ish den realise they only start processing *yundao*. and there was another repeat blood test for the other non urgent protocol. and i really bey tahan already, so i left instructions to the nurses and went amk see doc.
the mrt was v pack and i felt v sick. thank god dad offered to pick me up at the clinic. so touched. i settled the non urgent protocol by 10ish but yet the more important result still not back... so i asked LY to pester the lab. the lab also damn guai lan... asked them fax the result over cos we cant see it in our system. they said ok, end up nv fax. den i asked LY to ask for verbal result. it was already 11. the result that came back verbally sounded not rite. how can the wbc drop so drastically? i called hock and he insisted on getting a black and white. so we continue pestering the lab to fax the result over. the fax eventually came after we kept kao-pehing them and guess wat? the result belongs to another subj. piang... so shocked. den wat happened to the blood of this 10th guy???!!! by den i think i already had enuf. so i called LY and asked her to draw a fresh tube of blood and send down to the lab asap. poor LY have to take a cab down to the lab at midnite. i was already totally drained by den...plus the drowsy effect from the medicine. i ko-ed.
i got woke up by LY ard 2ish to tell me the blood results. thank god... blood results norm. so i quickly randomized the subj, did up all the remaining prep and went to bed. woke up ard 7ish cos dosing... was kinda worried but everything eventually went shun shun. v v v shack by this protocol.
