Hospital life part 3: horrible day at work

Dear blog,

right after i got home from work..i decided to pour my heart and soul out to you. today was a horrible day...to begin with...........i woke myself up early trying to get some work done but end up not really getting any work done despite punching in to work at 6.30am in the morning.

Then, when i tried my best to do counselling MDI to a patient....he uses it the way we girls spray perfume on ourselves despite me demonstrating to him how to do it 3 times...and then...when i try to discuss the medical officer in charge, i was ignored. it was expected. i am just a PRP. and he is busy..but he is missing the point that we are health professionals all working together for the health and well being of our patients. it is never a one-man or one-woman show in a healthcare. unfortunately, in this world, some people are easy to work with while others..................and btw pls, being busy is not a license to be rude to others and it is certainly not a license to hurt other people's feelings.

i always thought that despite being colleagues, deep down, we can all be friends...but apparently...not everyone thinks the same...oh well...thats life.......and in my part...for my patient...i did what i could and i sleep soundly tonight without guilt.

i remember being an intern in the PAH, one day, i was in a life and an elderly lady asked me a question i could not answer. i replied "i am sorry madam, i am just a student, i cant help you". She said to me "darling, you are never JUST a student". if only my colleagues could see me as an equal an not JUST a PRP.

the poor pak cik who came all the way to hospital........and the staff lost his D/C summary and prescription...........i can only...........wah...i really respect you guys who work in ward of a hospital.........this kind of thing aso can happen..............

so yea...it was a long day...but...in the end... i did the best i could........i will sleep tonight.........without any guilt.............
