In the Medical Posting, seniors were required to tag for a minimum of 10 days prior to off-tag while juniors had to tag for a full 14 days.
I was due to have my off-tag assessment and in the Medical Posting, we were required to off-tag with Physicians, meaning the specialists.
Tagging everyday in the Medical Posting was rather annoying for me since we had to stay until 10pm and being a regular early riser, I would start feeling sleepy around 8pm as that is the time I start to unwind and go to bed.
However, I can’t because I am still tagging. On top of that, since I am tagging, I would be too exhausted by the time I reach home to even consider studying. I had to prioritise my sleep more or I would crash.
Thus, I tagged for a total of 12 days which consisted of two off days. Thus, in reality, I only actually tagged for 10 full days.
In order to officially off-tag, I had to have my logbook signed by the physician who assessed me as well as to have each procedure filled and countersigned by the medical officers.
Long story short, I finally off-tagged on Christmas Eve and did not realised that I have been allocated an off day on the 25th of December.
This was perfect as my parents flew in on the 24th night. Thus, upon having officially off-tagged, I left and started getting ready to travel to the airport to meet my parents.
The following day of course was Christmas which was well spent with my parents.
