today is thursday, 14th june 2007. My first attachment has started since the monday of this week. This attachment can say that it is an eye opening to me. There are lots of things that i discovered and it's the first time i got such a close contact with the patients and communiate with them.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
i went to bright vision community hospital and was posted to compassion ward together with alvin. From there, i've experienced taking care of stroke patients, dementia patients, diabetes patients and other serious illness patients. Most of them are bonded on bed and not able to move around. And i can say, all these patients are really very poor thing. From them, i've learnt to clean shit for people and learnt to accept the smell. But just a thank you from them is just enough to make us happy as they actually show us that they know what is happening around them. Also, we went up to the hope ward which most patients are suffering from chronic diseases. And still, most of them have their tracheostomy done which means that they will have a hold in their throat to help them breath and let air to pass through as they are not able to take in air through their nose. When they have too much musous in their body, nurses have to use pipe to suck out the excess mucous out and i've seen nurses do it and patients will be in great pain as there will be a pipe going through the throat to suck out the mucous. The pain will also be felt by us even we are not the patients. Seeing the patients in pain and tears jus roll down their eyes, sometime i ask myself," why do they have to go through all this ?"
WEDNESDAY
we went to health promotion board to listen to talks and we went to health zone to play. Being a poly student now, i miss my childhood days when we always play but as we grow older, there will not be enough time let for us to play anymore. wednesday was a rather relax day among the rest as everything end at 1 p.m.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
i'll be going to a whampoa elderly care center. it suppose to be a rehab center. today was rather fun as we get the chance to communicate with the elderly and play with them. and through one of the grandma there, i learn an important lesson that we must be grateful that our parents earn so much money for us to study and in the future, we must pay our kindness back by taking care of them and not throwing them to elderly home which is very hurtful to them. seeing her tears roll down from her eyes, i starts to feel the ache in my heart too. so i think it is important to treat our parents good as they scarify everything of them to give all we want, to make our life good.
next week, i'll be going to polyclinic to have my attachment. hope i can learn more from them.
may all patients in all over the world to be free from sufferings and may all medicine and treatments can help them in all kinds of ways.
