i've just ended my 8-week placement at SOME acute hospital (which i'm not supposed to divulge due to privacy purposes) n am currently holidaying @ home... slacking like de slacker tt i am..heh.. i guess i can only sum up my clinical placement in 2 words: "Jojo's Legacy". yep! n here's how i got my name into the hall of fame (or shld i say "infame").
Incident #1:
Scene 1
Was an abnormal day at de hands dept, cos my supervisor n i had an unprecedented large number of clients! (heh... usually i'm quite slack there la..). n so, being de kind n helpful student tt i am, i volunteered to change de wound dressing for a client. mind u, i've only SEEN my sup doing dressing TWICE, but i tot tt smart n adaptable me can do de job. no prob, it's only wound dressing rite?? DEH!! WRONG!! so there i was trying to change de wound dressing, wif my sup breathing down my neck n i forgot de all impt P-word u haf to do b4 u start doing anything. P.R.E.P.A.R.A.T.I.O.N. so NO preparation watsoeva n i started 2 take off de wound dressing. u hafta do everything using STERILE gloves (which r thicker n more ex than norm gloves), so there i was wearing gloves, changing de dressing, n suddenly i rmred! OH! i need de bandage! took bandage from shelf using GLOVED hands, n discovered OH NO! my gloves r no longer STERILE! change gloves. did some more dressing. suddenly rmred again! OH! i need saline lotion! took saline lotion from shelf using GLOVED hands, n discovered OH NO! my gloves r no longer STERILE! change gloves AGAIN. did some more dressing. suddenly rmred again! OH! i need sterile scissors! took sterile scissors from shelf using GLOVED hands, n discovered OH NO! my gloves r no longer STERILE! change gloves YET AGAIN. so dis carried on by before i knew it, i used abt 4 gloves in 1 single wound dressing. wow!! applause for jojo!!! wat a great performance! n there goes my sup telling another OT: "i got expensive student leh. she used 4 - 5 gloves doing 1 dressing!"
Scene 2
all of us went 4 dinner wif de hands n ortho team (sort of a farewell dinner for us *aaww.. so sweet!*) n de OT hu heard abt wat happened earlier happily decided tt she shld spread de joy around... JOY over my STUPIDITY tt is... n suddenly, i became an intradepartmental overnight sensation!! headlines: "THE EXPENSIVE STUDENT!" i am SOOOO proud of myself.
Incident #2:
i'm supposed 2 do ultrasound for dis client of mine. tt's when u apply a conductive gel over de client's skin n do ultrasound treatment via a flat-surfaced probe. we usually do it for a few mins n there's a timer on de machine. so i was happily chatting 2 my client while doing de treatment, when my client suddenly tells me tt de timer is not jumping. lo n behold! de timer has stopped! how curious! let us try again. nope still not working. let's try yet AGAIN! hmm... still not working. i think de machine is spoilt. so i trotted off, like de good ol' student i am, to tell de OT (de same one who propagandaed my stupidity earlier on) tt i tink de machine is spoilt. so she came along n checked. wanna know de ans to de mystery? apparently de culprit is a stupid student called JOANNA. u see, joanna had stupidly forgotten tt de machine has 2 probes. 1 big probe n 1 small probe, but there's only 1 plug point. so while joanna was happily using de BIG probe, de SMALL probe was de one tt was plugged in. wow! mystery solved! i din't remove de small probe n plug in de big one! how smart joanna! n i had to do de ultrasound all over again! n of cos de OT din't fail 2 dig in summore abt wasting de conduction gel n brand me as "expensive" once again. neither did she fail to inform de whole hands dept of my stupidity.... ah well... de stupid things i do in life. a toast. a toast to me n my stupidity.
