and so it begins....
heh. first reflection of my first day of 3B. you know, as scary, intimidating and stressful placement is, i cannot deny i always get a rush of adrenaline and pure, unadulterated joy in placement. this is what keeps me going through the neverending craziness that is school; to know that in the end, im going to come out, and do this, every day.
i know that this seems hopelessly idealistic and naive, but hey, im sure sentiments like these (or their equivalent) was what spurred u all to take up OT, yes? you sure didnt pick it as a way to earn money. *insert usual whine abt our low pay here* haha. anyways, here's hoping that placement is going well for all....just think, 39 DAYS MORE ONLY! HEE.
anyway. im in an acute hospital in the west, now in neuro inpt. craziness doesnt begin to describe the frantic pace in which we see patients.
This resulting in situations like this:
*sup and i see patient A for 5 min, set him up with activity*
*we turn to next pt, and next, and next, and next*
1 hour later sup starts documentation: "oh yeah, this auntie performed quite well. how would u describe her dressing performance?"
shiri: *mumbles incoherently as she trys to figure out which patient from the multitudes sup is talking abt.*
heh, havta buck up! *determined*
after work met up with the darling, ate in bugis and he took me scenery-viewing! :)
teochew porriage with yummy brinjal!
oasis of calm amidst a sea of modern constructions.
.................no, i cant explain this pic either. but cute rite??? hahahahhaha.
