3 weeks of attachments.. OVER!
was at NHC or national heart centre ward 56.
taking care of patients who undergo Cardio Thoraic Surgery (CTS)
but mainly the patients are there for heart problems.
patients are young and old.
coming in for many diagnosis and variety of surgeries.

was at B side for the first week. B2 and C class patients are housed there..
busy like a bee!
serving urinals, changing diapers, bathing patients..
might seem little... bt repeating this 7 hrs a day.
and to perhaps 10-12 patients is almost a chore.
but satisfaction comes when they understand you are there to help.
and are extremely grateful.

2nd week at A side. Where patients of A1 and B1 patients were house at.
enjoyed the pace. As for the B1 there were only 5 patients a room.
the most enjoyable time in the 3 weeks..
lots of laughter and backstabbing with the staff.. HAHA..
seeing patients slowly recover.. is something you will never get bored of.
seeing 1 who jus lies in bed. hearing and speech impaired.
almost couldnt get anything done including feeding himself..
slowly he fed himself the milo subsequently the lunch that was served.
could see him propping his bed up most the time..
at least he didnt lie down! haha.. and getting more energetic and all!

Last week. I was at central. or in ward it was HD or High D.
Or high dependency. Where patients after going to the CTSICU after op would go.
here.. the patients are in a rather stable condition.
though i had the chance to send 2 patients back into ICU
due to change in the condition of patient.
i would say its a very exciting experience to go along with the staff nurse
and a doctor into the icu... the rush of adrenaline..
everything is almost chaotic. but in it.. lies order.
all i could do? hook up the oxygen. prepare the things that the staff nurse might require..
and push hard.. basically we were almost jogging to the icu.

end of attachment..
good and bad..
but now.. its time to SLACK MAN!
