My partner abandoned me again. This is the 4th time she took a sick leave. I wonder at this rate she is going (~1 MC/２wk). would she have enough leave to last her for the whole 9 months?
Anyway, the TPN ward round this morning was quite interesting. We had a couple of new referral cases, so this is the first time I get to observe how the team assess the patients and decide on a regimen. Initiating TPN is much more challenging than discontinuing one. Just like the old saying goes, 凡事开头难. It was really an enriching experience for me. I also found out today that a bag of TPN actually cost about $250! So imagine a patient with gastroparesis, requiring 1 bag of TPN everyday for months....$$$$$......
