first hands on experiece~

after four days having clinical placement in Lam wah ee hspital, i finally decide to blog about my experience

well, the first day was very boring as we(me n adrian) are still new and the physio there dare not let us do anything and all the patients are still not familliar with us. so i didnt do much except wander around and follow miss anne(the HOD of physiotherapy) around like her shadow and see how she treats and assess the patients. hehe

then the second day we're more familliar with the staff and soe of the in-patients we saw yesterday started to recognize us so they are more willing to talk us and trust us more~ hehe and we get to learn stuff we haven't learn in school. or different from school. hmm~

and right now is more like the patients who're teaching ( at least in my case cuz i still don't know anything) you'd be surprised how much the patients know.

but what i enjoy the most are those touching scenes i get to witness. like there's one i accidentally saw cuz i happened to be sitting there being bored. There's this lady who's a stroke patient and when she first got it she cant talk or walk. But now there is a big big improvement in her walking and she can talk abit abit. so when her sister came all the way from a far far away place, her sister tried to get her to say her name. and she did. her sister was so happy and dancing around and keep asking her to repeat. Its been so long she get to hear her sister say her name. and sudenly the lady said to her siser: wo ai ni ( i love you). gosh, i tell you i nearly cried. its so so touching. and i can really feel the shocked and happiness of the sister. its amazing..

ok there's still many many more but i'm abit lazy to type it here cuz this keyboard is tiring for me to type. haha. anyways, when they said this is a clinical placement, i expected to learn facts and methods of treatment and blah blah blah those we learn in school but applied on patients. i thought we will be taught by the physiotherapists there mostly. but what i didn't expect is i learned from the patients. I get to hear stuff from their points of view, how they feel about reatments..and of cuz the stories. they are older so they tend to have lots of nice stories and experience to share right?

so did i learn alot in this four days? yes. all about physiotherapy? not all. important? yes.
and its very unlikely that i ever forget since its my very first experience.

first weekend in MAHSA

oh-ho! i'm having my first weekend in Mahsa. Its abit weird cuz usually when i come back from Setapak to here, its sunday night or earliest is sunday evening. So i always have to prepare for classes tomorrow like reading up for the class on mondays, filling up the water bottle,cutting my nails(yes i have to cut them and they're even stricter than in pcghs.), putting out my uniform, adjusting my alarm clock........

but today, i keep having to remind myself that i dont have to lay out my uniform and all that stuff. But i did cut my nails and read up for my class and fill up the water bottle. And after doing that i have no idea what else i should do. so i slept awhile in the evening, watched a movie, write this blog..and try to imagine what i should do for tomorrow-which is nothing except studying :S
but usually when i'm in setapak i did nothing but sleeping and lazing around and disturb people. haha. so its the same. but at least there i will have company and my voicebox won't lose its function for lack of usage. hmmm~

and i'm starting to miss my Deary(haha ok i know its a very gross name, but i thought it sounds cute so...) already. how come i only get to see you for such a short time after such a long time. hmph. its not fair. And everytime we meet we will fight. and always about the same thing. i hate that i mind. i hate that i care. and i hate that i can't help it. i wish i could. i hope u dun mind.

oh well, there's this OSCE coming up next tuesday so i have to study. meaning i have something to do tomorrow. how sad is that? ish.

at least i have something to look forward to----going back to penang~~i mean i look forward to the non-clinical-placement part la. which is anytime excluding weekdays 8am-6pm! oh the torture~i will have to be stuck in the traffic jam again~ in my cutesy Myvi listening to Mamma Mia! soundtrack. haha~ so...Penang here i come~!!

whee hee~

yay~this is my "dont-know-how-many"th attempt to create a bloggie. I have commitment phobia haha. But this time i am determined to keep this blog up and alive~cuz now that i am going to use the laptop more.. its easier for me to type rather than write in my diary. of cuz~no too private thoughts will be put here la but still.. most of my thoughts can be shared la~ hee see im so sharing :P

anyways, this is about my 2nd month here in MAHSA. and 3rd month in KL. I was in UTAR for my 1st month doing Mechatronics Engineering then i decided i want to be a physiotherapy so here i am~ in case anyone is wondering.. MAHSA stands for Malaysian Allied Health Science A(something i forgot d). and its in Petaling Jaya

So now, after doing a year of physics and Maths and Mechanics and Chemistry last year.......here i am studying human anatomy! absolutely nothing that i studied last year is applied here. I've been wondering why MAHSA accepted me using my Alevels since its not at all related and im starting from scratch. oh well, at least that part of my brain for anatomy knowledge is completely blank, i can absorb quite fast. like a dry sponge absorb more water than a wet sponge, you know? same theory i guess? haha. or maybe its just interesting.. i mean, its muscles and bones and nerves.. and i get to grab some guy's ass without getting sued for sexual assault. ha! i'm not a crazy "hamsap po" k, i'm just being PROFESSIONAL~ hahaha

well its nothing much here la. same room, same food, same classroom, same gym everyday.. same feelings. missing my family, missing my frens, missing my penang, missing my dear dimsum, missing everything of my old carefree life..

hmmmmm it really can be lonely here. Especially when i see a family sitting together having dinner, or when i see couples holding hands and talking,or a group of friends laughing and talking so loudly that everyone around them gets irritated but they don't care anyway. and i'm just there alone. And i wonder if they know how lucky they are, if they truly appreciate and savour every moment of that time..

haha ok this is just really long for a first post. i'm gonna stop here now and continue next time~ byeeeeeee!!
