A message from my friend, I hope he is ok.
"On the 23rd of december, i was suppose to finish work by 10pm, but a patient was very unstable due to oozing blood from PD site. After intubation started bagging until 1am. My white coat was spilled was stained by blood, so i have to go home to get my new white coat. Reach back hotel around 2.30am and slept till 5.30am, went to work at 6.30am.
24th of december, left work around 11pm, I heard the water level is rising, so i decided to go get my cloths from a room i rent near by chung cheng high school. But i was too late, it was already flooded. So i went back home and get some new pairs of cloths after having christmas dinner with friends. Reach back hotel around 2.30am, sleep till 4.30am.
25th december, 4.30am, i was awaken by the hotel worker telling me to move my car to higher ground, the water is coming. So after moving my car, i decided to go to work early. Who knows, i was too late again, the hospital was flooded, hotel was also flooded.
Have to roll up my pants and walk in water as high as my knee just to get to work.
A meeting was held for doctors, junior house man (referring to me) have to stay back due to lack of manpower. Didnt sleep at all that night.
I was there alone in the wad, watching over 30 over patients, and i didn't even know what to do if they collapse. There were some small cases that i manage to attend to, and thank God, no one died that night.

26th of december, it was suppose to be my off day, but i dont feel like leaving the hospital, just incase if the flood gets worst, i might not be able to come for work. So i decided to sleep on the chair. Didnt get much sleep actually. Went out to buy some food for my wad, just incase the floods gets really bad. Tried to sleep at night but was awaken by the nurse by 2am. Attended to the patient with my sleepy eyes and half awake voice. Just realize that there were no doctors in the wad, i was left alone.
Oh well 27th of december, currently sitting in the doctors room, want to get some rest.
Be strong Kelantan, dont give up."
