~BeBeto’s ParaDise~

WEll, what a wonderful day to start with Never to forget that it’s Friday the 13th. All that I’ve hoped for was a short and relaxing day and be back at home as soon as I’ve finished for the day. Well, I wasn’t very enthusiastic in getting in to the JH centre today…but indeed indeed….i went in just for the sake that my consultant would be there for the meeting this morning! Ok, to be honest, I really like my consultant because he would never make me feel stupid and he’s so interested in teaching me stuff! To me, he would be like a close friend rather than someone who might intimidate medical student. What so ever, I just could not concentrate in the meeting this morning! Not even a single word has gone through my sense. All of a sudden, I was thrown with a question from the patient with regards to the ward! WEll, as I’ve said earlier, I wasn’t paying attention in the meeting! Being caught red-handed, I tried to remain calm and asked ‘that particular PD patient’, what is it? He was asking me if I had any issues to talk about and I guess anyone would know what I would answer! Correct! It’s the NO answer. However, I just don’t understand why he had to push it further on to make me talk more and in the end, just humiliate me! WEll, probably I was talking cock but what I came out with was the issue on the newly fixed TV where all the patients could sit down together and watch movies, while interacting with each other. Then, this PD patient just burst into laughter when I talked about the interactions between the patients. OK… At that time, I was feeling really stupid to try to encourage those patients to interact between themselves but it’s almost a mission impossible! They would all be arguing among themselves and making a big fuss over stupid stuff. Finally, I was glad that the meeting was over but then, I was supposed to go through a cognitive function test with my SHO. And without a surprise, the patient that agreed to let us perform the test on him had turned us down! He got so annoyed and walked out of the room, shouting that there’s no problems with his mental health! GOSH!… FOR HEAVEN SAKE! Ok, fine..I accept that! Patient has their rights to decline us on anything. After that, it was the peaceful lunch! Oh well, that must be the best time of my day. Just munching over my bread. When my lunch time ended, I had OSCE practice, where my consultant had asked one of the actresses in. Alrite, I should say that it was a good practice but as usual, the actress would give a hard time. I started to panic and had thought block! For a moment, I was actually panicking and had butterflies in my stomach! Thank god as I managed to get through with it. Ok, that’s not the end of the day! I was so so tired and exhausted by then but I’ve promised the SHO to attend for one of the on-call! WHen i met the SHO at H hospital, he said that only one person could follow him to the emergency assessment! And not to forget that my course partner was with me…I actually offered him to follow the SHO for the assessment while I followed a nurse over for home treatment visit! GOSHHHHH…… HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID! I should have just rejected from going for the home treatment visit! Alrite, I actually found it quite useful but not when I was with a very … indeed an idiot nurse! I JUST FEEL LIKE KILLING MYSELF! Ok, we were supposed to find the house of a patient. WE were quite lost but i saw the map and tried to guide her there! I was quite convinced of the direction but she didn’t seem to trust me. SHe was asking the pedestrians and in the end, they showed us some directions to ‘north pole or holland’! I was so blooody annoyed! If she just followed my direction, we would probably reached there in time and not searching around the area for almost 45 minutes! Well, just because she couldn’t read the map and that, doesn’t mean that I couldn’t read a bloody road map! Anywayzz…. we’ve got there in the end and as soon as after 2 home treatment visits, I was so eager to head for home and fair enough, it was 9pm! I was totally drenched out, while squeezing my brain cells to stay alert for the whole day. WEll well….after all, it’s Friday the 13th! Nothing more interesting than seeing those mentally ill patients to come out on their true self! kakakaka….

May you be blessed…
