Bad day.

I still cant upload pictures. Blogger's fault.
First day in Ward 44 was so bad because of the N95 mask. We need to wear the mask plus an apron to protect ourselves, cause this ward is at high risk of getting H1N1 patients. Most of the patients here suffer from respiratory problems. So there will be alot of suctioning going on. And suctioning really turns me off and make me feel like puking. Ewww ~ I hope I can dodge away from such procedures for 2 weeks :} Saying about the N95 mask, Firstly it leaves a deep mark on my face whenever I go home which is very ugly and funny. Second, i feel like fainting and feel breathless after wearing it for a long time. The mask really turn my day down. But halfway thru, I found a mask that is more comfortable but not so safe and protected than the N95. I changed to it immediately and was so relieved. The next thing I dont like is that my 1 hr break being divided into half. I cant even finish my food within 30 mins. Rush like mad for the first break and slack like what for the second. I prefer having it at one full shot. At least I can walk down slowly to the canteen, slowly enjoy my food, chat with my friends. Rather than, rushing my food as it can cause indigestion. But my Clinical Instructor has the final say so have to get used to it lor :( But on the otherhand, I get to know new friends and I'm also glad that the staff in Ward 44 are friendly and helpful. I still hope that this 2 weeks will pass fast and I wont encounter any bad experiences.

And I did last office for an Indian man this morning. He died of liver cancer. He passed away with his eyes opened which make my friend having a hard time closing it. But Uncle, May you rest in peace. So far I did 2 last office for 2 patients and their bed number were the same number. Bed Number 7 . Coincident or what ?

I'm gona get sore throat if I continue singing and stop drinking water. HAHA Going to drink lots of water now.
Goodnight diary.
