My life during attachment at BM hospital

It’s been a while I didn’t update my blog already…This time I try to use English to write this post, not because of I want to train my English, is just I kind of lazy to type Chinese one by one, and sometimes u will feel exhausted to try in errors in type some strange word or even common words that usually u will pronounce them wrongly…

I’m just came back from attachment at hospital for a month…I’m really miss the moment staying at my friend’s house with another course mate too. My friend’s family treated us very well, like become kings of their house le. I do enjoy every moment at there too. Here, I want to thank his family that allows me to stay at their house for a MONTH! One month stayed at friend house is really long. House expenses will be increased, as they need to prepare meal for me, they need to entertain me during weekends, they need to take care of me everyday… It’s frankly to say that my presence in their house will make them feel burden and inconveniences. The most unforgettable moment during the whole month is his mum’s cook. His mum cooks very suite my taste, yet I still miss his mum cook. Not to say that I stereotyping that every Teochiew lady expert in cooking, it is the truth! I very satisfy with their cooking style, like his mum, my ex-roommate’s mum and my hometown aunt, they all able to cook delicious dishes very well. Back to my previous topic, they are very friendly to me, although I keep on disturbing them hehe (not kind of disgusting action that I made, is just I always keep on chatting with them, ask them go to enjoy free air-conditioning service in shopping complexes haha). Anyway, I like their family, I appreciate their kindness and I won’t forget their enthusiasm forever.

How was my working life there? Nice! I was arranged to join 3 departments, OPD (Outpatient department), Ward supply Department and lastly Clinical Department. I would say that OPD is the department that I like the most. Maybe OPD is the first department that I entered, or maybe I stayed the longest period at that department, or maybe I interacted the most with the staffs there as compared to another 2 departments. Ward supply Department is quite nice too, this one I do agree. However, interaction with the staffs there was lesser than OPD department. And one more important point is I do sweat a lot during my attachment at that department. Surprisingly I feel very hot there, although there had 2 air cons (compared to OPD that had 4 air cons) provided with some fans there. I would think that air circulation system is the major factors that cause me feel hot and do a lot of sweating there. How was my feeling at Clinical Department? Not so good compared to others. I’m felt angry when I noticed that the role of pharmacist there can be ignored during ward check and during discussion on how to treat that patients sickness, or even the nurses played more important role than PHARMACISTS! It’s very obvious to notice that they would just ask the pharmacist the amount of medications left in hospital, whether those medications have any quota left, like treating pharmacist as a store man! They rather do check the amount of medication they need to dispense via their phone, not to take advice from PHARMACIST that just stand beside them! I just feel ashamed to them due to their ego and selfish.

I was sick for almost a month during my one-month-attachment there. Here I can conclude is, I not suitable to work in hospital. My immune system is very weak; even I get sick without direct contact with the patients. Now I’m able to roughly imagine my life during my government service then, I need to dispense myself medications everyday! Although I never step into life working in factory right now, at least I can avoid myself to stay together with bacteria and viruses everyday! Instead of this factor, my weak clinical knowledge also one of the major concerns that I not suitable in clinical life. As clinical pharmacist, clinical knowledge is the most important weapons to survive there. Doctors won’t ask simple and easy questions to pharmacists, as they would only ask your opinion when they found nothing in reference books or journals. You need a strong clinical basis so that you won’t looked down by doctors, then only doctors would appreciate your ‘participation’ during ward check then. I knew that many of my friend would say that I wish to enter industrial life is because of I’m greedy, I want to earn money as much as possible, they just not to comprehend myself deeply nia. I’m sure that those know me well sure able to understand my current situation. Anyway, attachment in BM hospital is good enough to make me clearer to my future on which pathway that I suppose to enter and which alternatives that I need to choose then. Thanks for BM attachment, thanks for my friends that we fight together during one-month-attachment, and specially thanks again to my friend’s family and I wish all the best to them in future and do invite me for their next wedding ceremony ya…
