2 wks of clinicals

Finally, we're done wif clinicals... all the late nite researching and preparation for the speech/ppt were killing me. I'm so glad i got over it.. All i have to do now, is finish up on my activity log & reflection. So, let me sum up the 2nd week of clinicals.

Basically, the monday started off pretty well, cos i managed to meet Mr.P :D twice somemore :)
Yup, so we attended the parkinson's disease support grp, spinal support/exercise grp, and also the cadiopulmonary grp, ACL classes These are all the pretty interestin activities besides following our CE ard... 2nd week saw many patients who alr came in the 1st week. So basically, tt's it. haha..

For the clinical ppt, i sorta screwed up? haha.. didn't appear to have much confidence cos i didn't have eye contact wif the others besides the occasional looking up to my CE. Oh, and it got even worse when it reaches my turn to speak cos the no. of ppls listening increased from 3 to 6..(okok.. 6 is still a pretty small no. compared to those speaking in front of 10..) oh yes, and i was speaking too fast. Ya, and the 5min presentation at nyp was actually slightly alrite despite my lack of practice.. I juz sorta went on in a informal way.. and i think i was one of those ppls tt Mr. Bala mention who 'danced' ard during the presentation... HAHA

Yup... shan't mention too much abt the cases i touched on... i'll be writing them in my log anyway.. Wld mention some interesting things tt happened throughout the weeks
1) we always seemed to be seen by the 'boss' at the wrong place at the wrong time. haha...
2) during the pulmonary rehab prog, while the lady was taking my BP, she gave us some instruction- to take the BP of these 2 gentlemen. I was kinda worried but i didn't show la, then she saw my BP increased(cos the equipment was still clipped onto my finger) and she was like - dun be nervous! then me and tricia burst out laughing... it was juz soo embarrassing!
3) i can't rmb... i'm bad at these..

Oh, realised tt all of us benefitted ALOT from the attachments... And i tot sgh outpatient was pretty gd, but then when i heard the experiences of the others at acute or private hospitals, i think i sorta can't wait to attend my next clinicals. wld definitely wanna be exposed to as many places as possible. Esp. spore sports sch.

Yup, so chalet begins tmr... sorta looking forward to it... i had a paranoid feeling this afternoon when i go to sch. shan't mention too much. But i hope there'll be improvements over the couple of days.

there are soo many things i wanna do over the rest of the hols.. visit my sec sch frens at nus, organise bbq for jc ppls, read up of medical conditions and all...haven't read the books i borrowed... yup... and get a job... so i can save some money and spend some on new clothes :)
