1st day practical
melaka GH is a maze!
well, actually this is the 3rd time in my whole life i”ve been there. so, you can’t really blame me for being lost and walking around asking for directions….
the irony is, a patient actually ask "doctor, doctor…..how to go to this place huh??" when i myself was lost trying to look for the administrative department….which is hidden at a small corner somewhere in the hospital…..how awkward
though i do like it when they called me "doctor" ……
well, today is my first day there. i din know wat to expect. i even forgot my pen. and i still don’t have a stetoscope…sigh….everything was in a mess la…..
i had the scary feeling. the feeling whenever i am in a new place, not knowing anyone. the feeling that makes me ask myself "what am i doing here??"….i just wanted to give up….(if it’s few years back i would say i feel like crying…i still feel that way, but it didn’t seemed like an option…..)
i walked to and fro trying to settle my stuff, got lost on the way, walked here there and everywhere like a doctor sesat who can suddenly patah balik when he walks……more like a psycho patient….
then till noon, i finally did something medical. well, since i’m only in 2nd year…alot of things i still dunno. so all the drugs and everything is like alien to me…..but i did catch abit abit la… those that i am supposed to know….i’m still trying very hard to catch up…
did a simple procedure.ECG. recorded for a few patients….first i put the limb leads and chest leads according to place…..then operate the machine….this is my first time doing on patient though i’ve done it in physio class among ourselves.
then after lunch, the doctor let me do blood taking under his supervision. actually i am not supposed to do, since that i haven done it before…..on the real patient la i mean….but well, i did manage to do it quite well, judging that it’s my first time doing it…..i din cause any complications….i think…..some are quite easy and visible, while some are tricky,having the tiny vessels….thus have to feel it….it was a great experience la
the people there are nice….the doctors and nurses….altho i see the houseman very kesian….have to do alot of work…crazy man….the scary thought of me going to have the same experience 4 years from now suddenly appeared…
so now my practice hours is from 8am to 5 pm….everyday from Monday to Sunday….no holidays man….crap….
please guys, if u have plans….please make it at night…..but not till too late….sigh…
need to go to sleep now….hv to wake up at 630….(feel like back to school again…)
ahhhhhhhhhh……….. i want my holidays!!!!
