attachment was fine.
was attached to nephrology so this ward is always full.
some patients in my cubicle were really cute.
but those i talked to when i was bored during my free time were all discharged.
SUPER sad!!! :(
now still finding for new friends...... :x

apparently one patient cried today.
because she was complaining of the itch at her wound site, which is the access point for her dialysis up at her right clavicle.
she is allergic to micropore, primapore, opsite, etc. basically she is allergic to most of the adhesive tapes we have in the hospital.
what to do?
she can only suffer rashes around the area.
that's what the doctor said.
we were like changing her dressing, then she said she can't stand having the primapore on her site anymore..
but of course, to prevent any infection, we can only tell her that it's better if she suffer from rashes than infection.
she was give a lot of antibiotics for stopping the itch but none actually helped her.
then she cried.
all we, student nurses, can do is to hold her hand and try to console her....
it's quite sad actually.

i feel that sometimes we are restricted to a lot of things in the ward. but luckily we can still comfort the patients.
anyway, tomorrow's the 3rd day, i just hope that it will all go well.
yup and bye. =)
