new start, new blog. i decided to write all the wonderful incidents i had these 9 mths so that one day if i dun want to practise anymore/lost the motivation to continue, i have somewhere to go to.

last friday, i picked up a call from a patient and she was just discharged and she dun understand what her whole list of medicine was for. she jus had a day surgery thus she was feeling too tired to understand what the nurse was saying earlier on. over the phone, i told her one by one what each medicine was for. it was damn long, and it was hard understanding her cause she was spelling out the medicine name one letter by one letter. and sometimes, i got abit confused and had to ask her to repeat. she wasnt irritated and kept thanking me after each medicine. the whole phone call was abt 30 mins lol. of cos since i am not a real p yet, i didnt make any assumptions when i am not clear (e.g. antibitoics eye drops must use for how long), and i told her to bring all the medicine to her doctor on the next appt to understand better. :)

that session made my day. this was sth i wanted to do. thanks to my classmate who asked me to try picking up calls, and assured me it is going to be okay. :)

looking forward to new experiences. i like this place, even when i make mistakes, they tell me nicely. and this made me even more careful cause i feel damn bad lol.
