2 weeks in Hospital Serdang

i'd been thinking of how to make my 2 weeks clinical attachment in Hospital Serdang pass faster. but it seemed that the 2 weeks were passing quite fast where i didn't even notice "oh, almost 5pm d, time to go back" haha.
i was in surgical department during the 1st week. had been sewing a lot of pressure garments for burn patient. confidence in sewing the pressure garment had been increasing a lot during this time posting. thanks to my supervisor also as her praise make me more confident that my pressure garment are really not bad (hmm...).
not much cases in Hospital Serdang, i think the most serious burn case that i had seen during the 2 weeks was chemical burn on face.

first time i did a mask PG on patient. it took me a long time in adjustment to make sure it fitted well on the patient's face.

first time got a patient in surgery unit for case study which was a 2 y/o burn patient and experienced the situation of " he cries once u near him". very funny words which i saw it in physician notes.

i was in orthopaedic unit during the 2nd week. amount of patients was just so..so... and type of cases also....so...so...not many.

first time got a patient in ortho for case study with diagnosis which was very unfamiliar for me- cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle. generally, it was about abscess. experienced of doing splint on her very stiff fingers and it was really hard compared to what we did on coursemates during class practicals.

first time present case study in front of all therapists, and i satisfied with my presentation and efforts but a little bit upset with the marks given...but overall okla....

saw and experience a lot of situation that sometimes with my current status was not able to control or make any changes to it. eg.

1. someone who was very lazy and not responsible of what she supposed to do, some more ask me or others do for her...(well...i learned extra things but really hate her attitude!)
2. doing assessment on patient halfway and suddenly the nurse just came into the room and said the patient finished d and can go back and straight away she pushed him (on wheelchair) out of the room....( i was just like@@)
3. saw a man with his wife lying on bed, all the way pushed by the nurse from ward to our department for ankle foot orthosis (around 11+ a.m.) and keep saying hi and thank you whenever he saw us or therapists. saw him still waiting for nurse to fetch them back to ward at the reception counter at 12.15pm when we were going for lunch and when we back from lunch ard 1p.m the man and his wife lying on bed still there was no person approach them. (SO........hmm...) waiting for a while...finally the nurse came...and i still remember the last few words from the man "thank you", last sentence from me" remember to take ur lunch!"

in few words, still, good experience! ^o^
