Practical mumblings
Place of clinical practice: Physiotherapy Department of Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.
Durations: 10 May (Monday) – 1 July 2010 (Thursday)
First day (10 May 2010)
Hmmm, whats to say, I’ve been dreading this day, since I practically know nothing about clinical practice. Come on, I’m the type who read the night before exam to be able to answers the questions, and after that, not for a very long time, I will absolutely forgot everything. Empty. Blanks. So, to treat patients where you need to have grasps of absolutely everything you need and unexpectedly need to know since sometimes the diagnosis might be different and you don’t want to make the wrong assessment, wrong treatments, to living human mankind.
But nothing much happened I guess unless you count the re-acquaintances with all the machines in electro modalities since that was where I choose to be stationed with Kak Iqa, while Kak Zu n Kak Nana choose the gym. So much thanks for the MAHSA students (Sheera, Asmira, Nurul Amiera, Husna n Amin though the last 3 doesn’t really get to know much until the 2nd week) for their lots of help, guidance and tips. Reallllly grateful for them. And maybe for our 1st day, in our 1st clinical practice, both of us kinda have times to get to know whats going on, how things running, the system and so on here. Not that hard I think, but 1st time nervousness rules. Hey, I don’t want to start making things that I don’t know in unknown places. Bak kata Puan Roha, mcm org baru kawen, g umah mentua. Hehee.
And everything went almost the same for the whole week except for Thursday. That day, not many patient around, unless new cases, which I still don’t dare to take. On Thursday, a special event will taken place. They have some lessons on the mid noon (around 11 am) to evening until 3 pm since the punch out at 3.30 pm. That day, after treatment session ended, we all dressed in sports attire, into gym and starts learning about something for sport rehab. Very interesting even though I got in late. But I managed to watch the practical session. I think I understand why the seniors said they have fun here. Because, the physio here are very funny, easy-going and actively participate. The MAHSA students also actively participate and I feel slight twinge of jealousy for their easy out-going since almost everyone should know that I completely froze, ignored strangers. (still remembers my friends before told me, 1st impression on me, I’m a very snobbish person….well, tak kenal maka tak cinta, kan?) so all 4 of us sort of, stay at side, and watch everyone practicing and involved. I make a vow, that next time, I will involve. And perhaps because I still don’t know anything about the members there. I still have troubles remembering their names.
For 2nd week? I know that our ward visit will begin. I will follow Puan Su to medical wards. Why so late? The reason is simply caused Tuan Haji Razali, who supposed to have our schedule ready, on vacation for 2 days, Monday and Tuesday. So on Wednesday, when he saw us (me actually) he was quite surprised. (‘eh? Awak dr mane? Bru ke?) with the other 3 busily pestering me,(kite kne jumpe Tuan haji, tanye jadual kite) I simply answer (Tuan Haji x au pun kite ade kat sini, mne la dy ada jadual kite…) around 10 am, we finally meet Tuan Haji formally in his room, and discussed and discussed. (oh, sye wat doh jadual awak, tp dok ingt langsung awak semua nk mari. X pe ah kite start minggu dpan ah.) so, starting 2nd week, I will went to medical ward with Puan Su, and after wards visit, will stay in Gym, instead of Electro like the 1st week. Hehe. Why start on 2nd week? Because the next day is Thursday, and Friday, not working. So? Why bother?
But the main reason that drive me to write this post after god know how long I’ve been neglecting this blog because of my poor, poor shoes (that is courtesy to Hasni, A/N: repay the shoes) that after 3 days, on Wednesday, I declared it unsalvageable. Why? Just look at the pictures and maybe you understand…maybe due to prolong standing, prolong walking (thinking of sitting makes me feel guilty) and the heat friction and bla2 environmental factors, rocky roads makes my shoes….good bye…T_T
Oh, and if anyone knows about my 2nd practical uniform, being too small for me, I cant button it for goodness sake, it is solved by my dear mommy dearest. Hehehe. I was sleeping for the whole Sunday morning, and she re-sewn it and finish at Monday while I was on clinical practice (from now on, I will call posting). Maybe one day, I gave the pictures of my uniforms…
And my clinical practice will be short of 2 days. Hehehe. Since 1st week Sunday (9 May 2010) we didn’t start, we miss one day since Friday is not a working day here in Terengganu, and on 2th July 2010 will be Friday, we will miss another day…hmmm, I think I like this arrangements.
