clinicals

clinicals have been 'good' so far. nothing as upsetting as wat some of my other fellow frens being attached to acute hosp are feeling.

i've been attached to rehab and chronic/palliative wards.. mostly, or rather, ALL geriatric cases.. mostly patients with strokes(left cva, right hemiparesis). yup. but it's still quite different la, even though their conditions are similar.. Dealing wif elderly is very different from dealing wif ppls seen at the outpatient clinics of acute settings. the treatment plan usually involves bed mobility, sitting and standing balance, and ambulation.. i wldn't say it's 'easier'. need alot of patience too..

but i suppose my partner and i are having a better time, juz picking up little things here and there. we did chest physio today. dunno why jm say it's interesting, i think it's - 'not exactly wat i think pts shld be doing'. but anyway, since it's part of the job, then do lor..

ppls, the end is no where near. it's not ending in 5 days time. this is juz the beginning k!



*looking forward to sch!*
