interesting day
Today has been interesting. I had clinic with Dr Chua in the morning. It was a bit chaotic as she didn’t realised that one of the new Dr is coming today, hence she had to sort him out before her clinic. Anyway, the first consultation went well. Then we had a lady with hearing impairment. She was supposed to have a BLS interpreter with her, but for some reason, there weren’t any. Luckily one of the staff know how to use sign language, although he wasn’t very fluent at it, and we managed to do the consultation with the help of pen and paper. (If it were me, I won’t even be thinking of using pen and paper..betapa slow dan tidak kreatif nya saya dalam menyelesaikan masalah :p)
Then we had another couple of patients who speaks Urdu and didn’t speak much English, so basically there was only one English consultation today.
Then, I went to the Psychiatric Ward in Lynfield Mount Hospital. My first time being there, and the weirdest thing happened. Tian Ling was standing in front of the reception with one Asian lady. I approached them, and this lady started asking my name, and asking my age and stuff. She kept holding my hand after every sentence, and gave me hi-5. At first I though she was one of the staff, but after a few mins, I realised that she’s actually one of the patient. I don’t really mind talking to her, and me trying to be nice and all, I just melayan her lah. When she put her hand on my shoulder, I started to feel a bit awkward and I knew I had to get away. Soon. The thing is, I didn’t want to offend her, and I wasn’t really sure how to react. huhuhu.. Siap ajak tour ward lagi. Adalah cuak seketika.. tskk.. Luckily, the nurse came back with the patient that we were supposed to see, so she let me go. pheww!!
