psy week..

the first 2 days of this week i was attached to the psychiatric ward.malam ahad mmg la tak tido nyenyak..this is because:

first:its scary to just think about spending the whole day clerking a case in a ward surrounded by psychiatric patint.

second:the preceptor in charge is sooo damn scary..the review from the group that went last week was bad.they said that she memorized every single thing.from MOA to the half life.

so that sunday was spent on revising chapters on psychiatrics..

but came Monday and when we reached the ward it became kinda funny..i mean at first yes it was funny..to look at the way they behave and how the nurses handled all of them.

they may only be 6 of them in the ward but the chaos was equivalent to a whole medical ward. at first while we clerking they didnt bother to disturb us.most probably they were still sedated by their meds.but after lunch, the situation is becoming more and more havoc...

and we had to finish clerking the case by 5 and around 4 o clock it was the doctors round and the BHTs were taken by the nurses..so we were left observing the patient's activities for almost an hour while anxiosly waiting for the BHT..

at around 4.45 mr dimples, bob and my rumate arrived to pick me up and one of the patient was sitting by the window and calling those two bachelors standing in front of their ward.at first, they wanted to enter the ward but i didnt allow them because most of the patient were active at that time..i think i made the right decision..tak masuk pon that girl dah melambai..kalau masuk i wonder what they would do..hehehe..

so that night me and partner spent the whole night analyzing the case and searching for journals to back us up. we slept at around 3.30 am and even when i was asleep i was still thinking of the meds that we were analyzing..

but i believe that every hard work will pay in the end and i was right..my partner and me could answer most of her questions and the preceptor was happy with us..*phew*..though we still need to find a few more things but overall it went well.

the psychiatric ward attachment is something that i will NEVER ever forget and it will be one of the things i would tell to my children in years to come..i.Allah.

the thing about this expeience is:you may feel scared about something that you have not gone thru yet..all you have to do is just be strong and confident.plus with hard work..everything will turn out fine eventually..i.Allah..

plus, being there..i felt sorry for the patient..we are blessed to be living happily and being able to cope with our daily stress...may Allah always protect all of us from sickness and any harm..amin..
