a-not-so-typical-day
today was my last day as a nurse at the
hospital…unfortunately, a lot of the patients became very ill last
night…one of them fell from bed, one was breathless the whole night, one had
to be resuscitated for having excessive fluids in the lungs, etc…
hmm..so when i came dis moning, bnyk kije la skit..heheh…mula2…i had to
take care of nenek yg jatoh from the bed tuh..apparently she’s seeing things
that arent there..she was lifting her bedsheet and talking to the
cupboard..mintak tlg ‘org’ yg die nmpk tu pegangkan cadar tu die nak jahit…takot la skit
sbb kalo btol ade org cmne? aiyo..she made it seem real..
then, i helped a lady with her bubble bath..i helped to sabun her n syampoo her
hair sume..die sonok sgt..lame rupenye die xmandi btol2 mcm tu…before this,
she was bed bathed..so lap2 je badan die wit air sabun…mesti xselesa kn?
at 9 am, I was called to follow the head nurse to ‘stroke
clinic’…so, ekot la die…this clinic is basically for those who used to be in
the ward tp dh been discharged…so nk tgk la how they are coping kat umah..
makin elok ke x, etc…
at the STROKE CLINIC….
1st patient; dulo xleh jln…skrg dh blh wit
tongkat..looks healthy..so nurse to kate no need to come dh lps ni..wahwah..tu
antara yg sembuh
2nd patient; came wit the wife…lawak la dorg
neh…both xmatang lagi walopun dh 50+…me asyik gelak je…the wife asyik ngadu
suami die ni bnyk ckp la..bising..mcm2 die komplen..padahal yg dtg check kat
clinic ni husband die yg dok sblh die tuh..haish..but based on observation, nurse
to kate husband die dh ok Cuma a bit depressed..hmm
3rd patient; yg ni me ekot die g wat therapy for
her leg..sbb she’d been ok for a few months dh..blh jln suma but tiba2 this
week xleh pulak..yg sweetnye, the husband sgt2 care n syg die..he kept asking
the doc: “doctor, did I do this to her? Did I make her leg worse?” wahwah..sian
sgt..not his fault pon but he felt guilty mcm slh die plak..baiknye husband
cmtu kan..huhu..oh
apart from that, nenek ni, since the stroke, she cannot speak properly..she thinks
that we understand..tp she only utters words like: ‘bla bla bla loo lo lo”…mcm
baby kecik ckp…xphm pape..tp die asyik nk ckp sbb die ingat kt fhm..sian
sgt..xde org fhm..husband die kate kalo pi shopping mmg sumorg tgk dorg..sbb
die ckp cmtu…kdg2 tu org siap gelak lagi..trust me, mmg senang sgt nk gelak sbb
the words that she utters are very funny ones…tp kne tahan la..!
4th patient; he came with anak n isteri die..he
was very healthy indeed…Cuma hari tu die jatuh so kaki die sakit n xleh jln
bnyk..but as far as the stroke unit is concerned, he has recovered completely
la from the stroke! Wahwah~~
Hmm..later that day, blk ke ward, usual things happen, ade
patient kua, ade yg masuk..tp yg penting..ward ti makin kosong la..the head
nurse told me that dulu 30% of stroke patients akan mati lps kne stroke..but
now, with the help of medical professionals, dah turun ke less than 20%
deaths..
But she said, the ETHICAL issue behind this is, even tho
dorg xmeninggal, dorg have very poor quality of life…they have to depend on
other people utk wat sume mende, even kdg2 tu xknal anak sendiri, etc..so, are
the doctors really helping them? Ke makin nyusahkan? Hmm~~for u to think about
aite?!
Pastu ptg tu..before me blk..ckp la goodbye kat
nurse2..xsedih sgt..pastu kat nenek2 yg me salu borak…jmp dorg..salam peluk2
sume..heheh..sedih dh skit tym tuh..pastu last skali jmp nenek yg me plg rpt
skali..die ade terminal cancer..katenye dh all over the place dah cancer
die..mmg xlame dh la die kate..so she TOOK MY HANDS, and said to me, “ok
dear, I might not see u again…do well in ur exams..i’m sure u’ll become a good
doctor someday..take care love..”…oh..nak nangis sgt time tuh…tp tahan..then
all I could say to her was..” ok I will, thank you..be happy ok?!”..”ok, I
will”..she replied..then she let go of my hand..pastu me pusing nk
balik..aiyo…trus jatuh segala air mata yg ade time tuh..huhu…..sedih woo~~I
pray that die pass away dlm keadaan baik insyaAllah..amin..
Hmm,, all in all, alhamdulillah nursing attachment kali ni
mmg besss n meaningful..hope mggu dpn pny dpn pny medicine attachment lg bess…
K, that’s all for the time being~
Till pen meets paper

slm~
Mggu ni me pegi jadik nurse kat ospital…for the
past few days lah…wahwah…penatnye xterkate! xsangka yg jadik nurse ni best rupenye..dhla i had to work at the stroke unit…so sumorg mmg terbaring je..hu~~p
tapi kan…besssss sgt!
Day 1
intro je lebh krg..pegi ward yg me jage..i was the only one in my course that
had to go to that particular sroke ward..hhuhu
mula2, i tot..ohno! stroke ward? biar btol? sumorg terbaring je…tido je kot?
mesti busan ek? but bile dh masuk ward n have a good look around, i was
suprised to see how much these ppl were able to do..sumorg had this genuine
sincere smile…a smile that i hadnt seen for a long time now…ppl these days
dont seem to know how to smile do they? no offense~~
nway, we only pretty much had an introduction to the ward thingy that day..
Day 2
i guess the biggest challenge was to get up very early..i actually had to leave
home at quarter to 6 (5.45am), can u believe it? aiyo~~pnat woo..tp ape blh wat
kn? so ekot je..the shift started at 7am n that was when the action
began..jeng3~~
pagi2 tuh..ade MTD meeting which stands for multi disciplinary meeting (meeting
utk nurses je senonye..name je glamor.hahah)..during the meeting, the night
shift nurses cerita la ape jadik kat patient2 tuh during the night..
meeting jap je..pastu, kami mandikan patient2 tuh..APRON COLOUR: BLUE..huu~~bnyk teknik2 baru me blaja..most of them memang xleh mandi sendiri
la so we did everything la basically..kena pusing2kan dorg sume to reach all the parts kan..sbb
tu it takes 2 utk mandikan..tp sonok la sbb pastu dorg suma wangi2..heheh..cumel
je nenek2 tuh bila dh mandi, letak bedak sume..sikat2..heheh..
then, it was breakfast time…APRON COLOUR; GREEN…huhu..sedap woo mknn
dorg…scrambled eggs, weetabix..fuh…kalah breakfast kt…dhla pagi tuh
xsempat mkn…aiyo..dorg lak mkn xhbs..rase cam nk tlg hbskan je..heheh…it
was such a pity that sedap mane pon mknn tu kalo dh sakit mcm tu kan…rase xsedap
jugak…tu dorg mkn skit je..pastu ade sorg nurse tu mintak tlg me suap ade
makcik kat dlm isolation room..APRON COLOUR; RED..so dptla suap die mkn
skit..tp die bleh bukak mulut skit je so die nk minum je bnyk
pastu…amek blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse,
respiration, ngn temperature dorg sume..jalan2 lagik~~pastu catit dlm file kat
kaki katil dorg tu..pastu dh hbs sume…g borak ngn sorg nenek ni..die cumel
sgt…sweet je..bnyk gak cite..huhu..tiba2 wendu kat my nenek kat Melaka
tuh…wonder what she’s doing at this very moment ay?
Ptg tu ade meeting wit nurses, physiotherapists and language
n speech therapist sume..xde pape sgt la Cuma die nk mintak pndgn me as a medic
personnel je~~
Day 3
Well, today was not much different from day 2..the only
major difference was that I was placed in the mens ward today..so kne shave
janggut atok2 tuh..huhu..ade 2 org la yg me shave sendiri..tp dorg yg ajar dulo..baik
sgt…yela..manela org pnah cukur janggut org..hawhaw..then sorg atok tu stp
kali nmpk kt je mesti die bgtau sumorg dgn nada excited yg kt yg tlg cukur die
pagi tu..huhu..lawak la plak
Oh pastu bg mkn kat org len hr ni..nenek ni die makan
yoghurt n ice cream pagi2..waa sedapnye..pastu suap ubat die pond lm ice
cream..wah bestnye!! Tp bes suap die sbb she has a good apetite indeed..die dh
nyanyok skit la tp..she kept asking me about my baby..n she asked whether I’m
married or not..n I said no..but she kept asking me about my baby…tp mcm bila
dh mkn tu die xckp bnyk sgt la..hihi
LASTLY
Tomoro will be my last day..am really looking 4 ward to
it..camne nk ckp ek, tho I enjoyed this attachment a lot, I’m very glad that
its over soon..sbb bkn pe…pnat la kne kua umah kol 5 lbh pagi tiap2 hari..mebe
if I’d worked nearer mcm lg bes kot..i wouldn’t be so warned out la kan..not that I’m not
thankful or anything
All in all, mmg bes!!! I would do the same if given the
chance n time..mggu dpn pny dpn me ade attachment medic plak at the same
hospital..do wish me luck!
Ta Love…
(Ayat fevret nenek2 n atok2 tuh…)
Wallahu a’lam~~
