[Industrial Attachment]
Industrial attachment is really cool..got to meet doctors and HOT nurses..sorry for the emphasis but some of them are really hot..and the best thing is i got to make friends with them !!! And get to work with them and the doc..it is a really awesome experience..a total eye opener...hahaha
[Day 1]
Met my partner from AC at the ENT and snoring centre..had to wait for Dr. Adrian to arrive before we can introduce ourselves to the rest of the staff..haha the clinic is a private one in Mount Elizabeth and it was really well furnished...loads of expensive high tech equipment...plasma screen TV for patients to enjoy..the air con is too freaking cold!!! My hands were freezing most of the time..but when the doc finally came..both of us were introduced to the nurses there..joanna, teresa, joanne and jessica. When i first saw jessica..i thought she was jeanette aw coz of the striking resemblence...it was uncanny...but its just that she looked really like the actress..haha..the nurses were really friendly..the doctor was giving us advice on the first day regarding medical school and i benefited from it..aspire to be a doctor i hope...we observed how Dr Adrian treated patients and it was really tiring..being a doctor is freaking exhausting..yet very noble...sacrificing one's happiness for the sake of others...ahh..
I have learnt the various kinds of diseases and complications related to ENT..and how snoring can be detrimental to the body..surprisingly i didnt learn this in bio..only learnt the eye...learnt about the equipment used to examine patients and to understand their conditions...the nasoendoscopy equipment was really cool...one tiny microscope dangling on a wire..and its inserted into the nose via the nostrils..and it can reach deep inside..and i get to see whats inside the body on TV !! Like travelling in someone's nose in a small capsule...hahaha..awesome..got to meet rich billionaires and famous ppl too..but cant disclose their identities due to patients' confidentiality.
But the best part was i got to make friends with hot nurses !!! Including the jeanette aw look alike...hahaha but too bad she is married and older than me..jkjk..one of the nurses is a translator for the doctor !! How cool is that..
[Day 2]
Reached the OPERATING THEATRE at 8am..omg i love it..i got to wear a surgeon's gown and cap and mask and everything..the whole suit..and i get to enter an operating room...which was only for authorised personel... Got to witness 2 whole operations..Dr Adrian had to remove tonsils from a small boy and remove excess tissue from a small girl's nose..the machines were extraordinary..totally the same as what u see in ER..hahaha but up close! The nurses were aiding the doc while he was sawing up pieces of human meat..kinda gory..definitely not for the faint hearted..well at least the blood didnt like splurt everywhere..it got sucked by some suction tube..haha..
Got to see more patients at the clinic..and got to visit patients in wards too..uber cool..but super tiring..furthermore..today was a rainy day...argh my hands were about to drop off due to frostbite...freaking cold..but the nurses warmed up my day..hahahaha..super tiring..
Tmr is the last day for industrial attachment..honestly speaking..even though sometimes i dread work and find it super tiring..but i am gonna miss Dr Adrian and his nurses..gonna miss working with them..but he said that i am welcomed anytime to observe them work..see how la..haha..he also wanted to recommend me to observe GP and other specialists..also see first...ah well..tmr is gonna be a sad day...cant bear to sae farewell..hope i can stay in touch with them.
Everything is going to be back to normal on thursday..gonna hang out with my friends..finally..Till then...niteZ.
