5th November (Wednesday) - Past the 4th, this marks my third month of working life. And there's so many things to catch up on. I get it now why back when I was student everyone told me to enjoy my student life. Back then, you can hide behind others if you do wrong, because one CI license is used to protect all the students, and back then, most of the staff depends on you more. To the point sometime you feel like cracking your head and disappear. ^^ Ah, the good old days of students' life. Now I tell everybody to cherish those student life, no matter how torturous it is, because one you are working, no more hiding or cowering under the table. It's time to face the music.
1,2,3,4,5, 19. My assignments for today. Sigh, why do I have to get that lady? Well, can't exactly be picky here, so, quelling my emotions down, I treated her like my other patients, only difference I try to limit my time with her. Because whenever I go into her room, she starts talking well, nonsense. And there are many patients to attend to. Certain are okay cases, but one of my patients have 4 drains. FOUR. All hanging around him. Poor guy. And quite young too. But he's okay. Nice guy, he's just in pain cause of his surgery and he has to walk like a prawn. Prawn-walking basically means bending you hip 45 degrees forward and bending your knees, so yeah, you kinda resemble a prawn.
My next patient is my old patient from HDU. She's a legal officer, nearly equivalent of a lawyer, but she's a nice lady. My experiences with lawyers weren't pleasant, with my first and last encounter of a crazy lawyer back in my student year whom often used her name to bully us and threatens to sue us. Well, that's old school stuff. This lady is very different. We had a pleasant chat and I told her that my friend is now doing her bar course in the UK. She wished my friend all the best and told her to enjoy her bar course before she becomes a full fledged lawyer. She mentioned how she enjoyed her student life and how now she's stressed out because her work is not easy. You see, just like people mistaken medical stuff on TVs, same goes for lawyers. Her job is to make endless research, and when you have to go to court for your client, you have to have the power of persuasion to win the jury (It's just a summary, the actual flow is much more complicated, but for proper information, you should ask those who are in the field of law.).
After several months, I was finally asked to assist in LP. Not good. I nearly contaminated the bottles because I was too stiff. Lucky the prof was a nice person, and he kept saying, "Don't touch the needle with your bottle. It's not sterile." Okay, noted. Argh, why do I always end up doing something screwy???
I don't know how much longer I can cope with this... I really don't. Oh wait, due to my patients and some nice profs rooting for me. I'll do my very best, everybody.
