ahhh....been thinking of wat to write...i have so many things to say...anyway, wanted to write bout wat i did today...
so....i woke up, had breakfast in my car(as usual) and reached the office on the dot 9.00am(use punch card wan...). My 1st patient for the day was a 9 yr-old boy.oh boy....he came in with this man that could look like his father (if his father married a 2nd wife) or maybe uncle or guardian or atuk...i proceeded in explaining the procedures of the test in English...neither of them replied and i got frustrated because i dunno if they understood wat i've just said and asked if they prefer if i speak in BM.only then i get a response...oh!...he can understand English...his atuk said...well...good...i thought..so i did everything i have to do for him and the most frustrating part was waiting for him to fall asleep(cos me doc dun like to sedate her patients) AND most IMPORTANTLY they dun come PREPARED!!!(which means they have to sleep late the nite b4 and wake up much earlier than usual in the morning of the test day)so they din't do it( i presumed cos i din't bother asking and based on my investigations, he said he slept at 11.15pm and since he stays nearby...wouldn't take long for him to get here!=/)....so that fella wasted my 2.5 hours..Finally...oh finally after eating Squiggles and drinking choc milk and i took away the blanket under his pillow and off the lights, he fell asleep...yay! for me....1 down....
next, was a 5 month old baby....easy peasy...no talking required just reassuring the parents that it doesn't hurt a bit...this chap kept crying and wouldn't sleep...i asked the mom if the baby can sleep with lights on and she said yes. so i let her be and he kept crying....finally, i thought why not just switch off the lights and leave the night light on?maybe the baby would sleep.....so i did and he quietens and finally zzzzzzzz......yay!another 1 down....asleep i mean...
ah.....finally i can have my lunch!! at 2.30pm..i hate it when i can't have my lunch anytime from 12-2pm....cos if i have late lunch, by the time i'm back...it'll be like 2-3 more hours to goin home...so i got back at 3.40pm(yes...makan a bit longer cos we drove out. and we dun get tea breaks anyway...and we work thru lunch time!!!not always mar....) got a message to do an urgent EEG...i tell you...these ppl really misuse the word urgent....really hate it when its false alarm....and 80% of the time it is!well...maybe 70%...anyways, my 3rd patient is a young lady...and did the same thing to her...explained the procedures, answered her questions and again reassure her that it isin't painful.....ahhh...this one is a breeze...she sleeps when i tell her to and stays awake when i tell her to!haha....excellent patient...
so my final 40 mins b4 it turn 6pm, i quickly printed out the rest of the results and cleared the room and put back the things i used and locked the cupboard and at 6.02pm i clocked out!amazing....i tot the printing of the result would hold me back cos it normally takes 30 mins to do it...but i did it in 15 mins!record man....
ah.....went home....had my dinner and watched movie on my comp...and man...time just flies!and here i am recording the events of the day in my life.....sigh....i wish i dun have to work on Sat.....shucks....it may be just half day but i still have to get up early....duh....no longer a comfort to me...oh well...did i mention how good GOd is in my work....many mistakes happened thru the day and if i tell u any of it, u maybe be shocked or REALLy shocked....but thank GOd for His grace that things would just turn out fine...really...
