Show a little bit of love and kindness...
This is going to be my final week working in the Cardiac Thoraxic ward! :)
Well... What do I say?
This time... ya i do grunt and grunt about the staff there being mean and all.
Till the point sometimes I really didn't have the mood at all.
Only when things happened you know that they are actually quite a nice lot.
Some of the ward staff left or changed.
Those that were once mean to us became nice to us.
lets hope is not because of the complaints they received that they are bullying the students.
It is definitely hectic to work in that ward.
Because the changes takes place very fast.
Patients admit and discharge very quickly.
However, those chronic ones has to stay longer.
This year I managed to witness a code blue case and got to see how CPR is being done on a real patient.
It's different on the dummy. It's real flesh wrap bones u are pressing.
Thank God he managed to be revived back, sent down to ICU.
Life and Death happens only in a split of second.
Last week, something happened.
I was called into sister's office.
It's because of some minor problem.
But well.. it was kinda stupid for that person to be all qurrelsome about it.
Me & my friend packed the patient's belongings.
In in happened to contain a water bottle that contained water in it.
But I refused to hear my friend advice to pour it away because I'm afraid it's some tonic or expensive stuff. Then we passed it to the nurse in charged and
then heard his maid took it in a rush
and we assumed that the water spilled on the way
Imagine if I were to pour away the bottle of water which contains tonic.
The complaint will demand payment and it will come from me can.
Well.. when I was locked behind the doors of them both.
I was quite calm but fearful.
I prayed to God to spare me out of this trouble.
And then the guy started saying:
Where is the nurse shadowing her?
You guys dont always try to blame the students for all the wrong things happened.
Why didn't the nurse that is overseeing her took the next step to check?
She is just a student, not even graduate.
Not even working in this ward yet.
I was thinking: Wah God! Unexpected answered prayer. Thank You!
Definitely I got my fair share of scolding la.
But it was not easy for the sister to handle because that man demands alot.
Well...The next day, I heard that he is some dentist and his other 2 bro is a NTU lecturer and another one is a PHD holder.
LIKE SO???
You are still human to me can.
It's quite irritating to deal with someone so unreasonable and use status to threaten you.
Incorrigible!
Well... ultimately you can still change hospital if you dont like the service.
So rich why don't bear to spend ur money on a private hospital.
That is all..Please try to understand the nurse and not demand too much.
You should stop thinking that nurse is an easy job. Until you taste it yourself.
Come to a lighter topic,
Amidst all the irritatingness,
There are certainly some interesting patients.
Some laugh and joke with you.
This time round I really laughed alot with my patients.
Well it's to help them to lighten their worries also.
Although there are some patient whom I have language barrier with,
It's still a joy trying to guess what they are trying to speak alien to you.
Some patients are just poor thing. Especially one uncle whom my friends and I were taking care after for the whole one week because he was diagnosed as cognitive impairment [Demential]. The whole family do not want him and did not even bother to come and visit him and threw him to some place and let the landlord to handle. It so reflects badly on them. After all, he is still your father who brought you up, took care of you and fed you. Even if he has ever done something wrong in his life, he still deserve your forgiveness. Don't tell me you are perfect. When you were young, you do all the bad things, didn't your parents forgive you time and time again even how hurt they were. They are rich somemore :/. Does rich ppl always have a problem? Please never think of doing it to your own parents. It's heartless. Shake heads. It's just too much! This uncle is really lovable but was a challenged at first. Although He is losing hs memory slowly, he was still good in his maths and old memories. :) Xin Ku Ni le Tracy :D
Maslow heirachy theory. Meeting the basic needs of the patient.
It's true. They will be much more nicer to you. :)
Students are always patients favourite.
Because we have got a 'T" face written all over our face.
and when we are at their service. :D
Should just buck up on my communicating skills.
I'm just very bad at it as it tends to reflect together with my first impression.
Today during choir, I was doing abit of multi tasking.
I was thinking and looking around while I'm singing.
Until I teared abit.
Amidst the deafning singing filled the santuary I was just looking around,
and I was just touched by someone who wants to sing so much but just couldn't.
and was just there to be a support in anyway the person could.
But the person was also practising and also hoping that God willing the person could come back to join us.
Just the look of the person just pains my heart.
This sincere heart of that person that I'm always encouraged by has gave the best to the Lord in the areas that the person is serving.
I really pray for God to enable the person to join us back once again and to testify God's faithfulness.
A blessing starts by looking out.
Don't ask why, but know why.
I was blessed by Rev. Simon spoke today, it was a spiritual awakening.
Well.. I'm still finding.
I cant understand why do ppl act the way they do sometimes.
Just pray that I will not start my mind digging again.
Keep simple and sweet.
I just got to learn what I ought to learn from God.
Please do not misunderstand me. because I'm easily misunderstood and be misunderstood.
Understand?
Pretty hard to managed some certains.
Graduation is in a month time.
Quickly it came, quickly it flew.
I'm going to apply for my poly soon.
Just pray for God's direction and will.
One step at a time i guessed.
Ppl are walking different paths and taking different routes.
For me? Well... God please be with me.
I really don't know.
Just like what my friend shared.
I'm also one of them that has no confidence.
But I got one whom I got confidence of my future.
It's FEBRUARY 01 tml.
Anor weeks time, we will be at a private ward.
We are going to work with higher status ppl who could afford a B1 2 bedder bed.
Just pray for wisdom at work and a heart that works closely with God.
My MS LANG is coming back!!!
Whoo HOO.. Miss her LOTS!!!
