Responsibility

I'm home again for the weekends but there's still a matter that's niggling my brain.
See now that I'm a "pegawai" I have much more responsibility to take on. Unfortunately responsibility comes in the form of paperwork. And paperwork is bad news.

Now I'm stuck with having to prepare reports on why there were 24 patients who waited more than 30 minutes for their medications at the Outpatient Pharmacy for three days. I had to practically man the front counter alone with another assistant pharmacist and take care of the back at the same time which is not possible for me at this stage. And the specialist from Kuantan, who comes only once every three months, had to choose to come this week when we are really short-handed at the Outpatient Pharmacy. And he has to prescribe more than 7 meds for each of his patient (due to chronic renal disease) and most of these meds have to be recorded into the bincard for each usage. Hence, the waiting time exceeded 30 minutes.

And now I'm the head of Diabetes and Hemodialysis Unit MTAC (MTAC being Medication Adherence Therapy Clinic). And also doing Outpatient Pharmacy when I'm not doing MTAC.
Grr. Being the boss sucks.

On another note, do not make promises you can't keep.
