It's already third week being here, in HTT Chase Farm Hospital. This is not my productive week. Been following few home visit and then spent the rest of the day at the office, reading books available at their bookself, which I read twice..most of them. hmm...everyone was just busy with their work, each wearing tense expression. but they are super nice people. They will still responds to me if I had anything to enquire. It's just, me, not really want to bother them when they are busy. So there I left, sitting for hours, reading through my case study.
On Monday, I was supposed to go home visit with CJ, a nurse there but turns out that most of his client today had tendency to be aggressive. So he just apologized and said I can't come. When he came back, he greeted me with surprised expression, asking
'have you been sitting here all day long??'
i answered,
'nope, I went to the loo twice.'
and then he laughed, again said sorry for not being able to include me in his visit. He was the only nurse on duty in the team that day, the other one was a senior nurse-cum-team leader that happened to be so busy that day that I only catch his glimpse.
On wednesday, I woke up with massive headache and feverlike symptoms. I can't even stand straight. it's not migrain cause I don't experience photophobic. turns out it was PMS. ceh.. I inform them that I can't come and there goes a day wasted.
Today was not much different, but at least I was included in face to face Transfer of Care for a patient. The transfer of care marks the termination of care of patient by HTT and the role is resume by the patient's care coordinator. Care coordinator will be the one who will be incharge of the patient while they are in community setting. they can be doctor, community psychiatric nurse (CPN), or social worker. There was ECT session going on, but there's no staff from HTT are available to attend so there goes my chance. hmmm...
This is the downside of being an adult learner. You need to be independent yet an opportunist. Muka kena tebal bak kata orang melayu. I should have been bold and just ask any psychiatrist to join their assessment. Hmm...No time to laze around.
and..finally! Snow falls today! On my way to the hospital, it was raining and bit by bit, the rain drops start to crystalize and lastly, it formed a whitish soft ice drop callled SNOW! I was grinning excitedly walking under the snow while others were protecting themselves with umbrella. haha, what a way to end this gloomy week!
