Farewell.
Last day of work! Finally! And it was so busy. I think it was trying to get the most out of me before I leave. 7 admissions at one go. Like really, within 15 minutes, there were 7 admissions. Phones were ringing off the hook. Like 2 phones ringing at the same time. Staff were busy with the patients and medications and IVs so.. left the clerk. It felt funny. Like really the HAHA funny. We're so busy like chickens.
Can't wait to come back on Saturday with Amala. I hope to see my favourite HO again. I'm putting myself up for a disappointment but.. it's the last day! What have I got to lose?
Anyway, it's 80 to 90 percent confirmed that I'll be working in Children's Emergency. I'll be with 5 or 6 other NYP students. I'll be the first and only NP student to work in KKH Children's Emergency.
I wish I was a doctor. So when the operator announces "Attention all medical staff. Code Blue in *insert place here*.", I can run to wherever it is and get all the excitement. Today there was one at the Women's Tower near the shuttle bus area.
I'm gonna miss my staff!
Oh. I think I know what it feels like to be the one whose hand is held by a woman or anyone in labour. I had this patient who squeezed the blood out of my hands almost distorting my finger bones when she was having contractions. She was screaming right there in the ward, in the cubicle of 6 patients. She kept on complaining of pain but refused IM Pethidine. Crying and screaming like shit. Next time think before having hot sex without proper contraception and then ending up having to abort the result of your consummation. Maybe consummation is not even the right word, since you're unmarried.
