Ward 2a and 2b each can accommodate up to 20 patients each,
while labour room and the refeeding ward, I’m not sure of them. Hehe. I’m in
charge of the A&E and ward 2a. Most of the patients in the refeeding ward
are malnourished Orang Asli (aborigins) children. This is the first time I
encounter malnourished patients since I started working past 2 years. And
honestly I suck in its management and always got blurred each time I have to
attend such patients. Obviously I need to read more about these stuffs, how to
calculate feeding for malnourished children etc etc. And in this place, there
are lots of malaria and leptospirosis cases. I rarely treat patients with
malaria and leptospirosis and malnourishment in Klang Hospital. The kind of
cases I have there are diabetes, hypertension and other “luxurious” illness.
Hahaha!! But this is kind of interesting because, whether I like it or not, I
have to know how to handle these cases.
My first day at the A&E was kind of funny. I’m so used
to walking around doing a lot of things in the A&E in HTAR even when I was
working as an MO. But here the condition is very different. I was so agitated
of doing nothing. The red zone is much much less busier than the blue zone in
HTAR. So can you imagine the yellow, green and blue zone here? HEAVEN. My
colleagues said we do have serious cases like major accidents, MI, and so on
but maybe so far I’m just anti-jonah in here. Hehehe….
But the one thing I don’t like here is we have to do
autopsy. Seriously I hate forensics. I hate the smells. And apparently we do
have autopsy at least once a month. What the hell??!!
Apart from work, life is just so so. I found some good
neighbours, and make friends with them. Although I’m not yet close to my
colleagues, so far they’re ok. But I’m just so bored in here. Last Thursday I
made a last-minute decision to go back to klang when I learnt that my brother
has one week school holiday and he wants to spend the holiday at his
grandmother’s house. So off I went with him after work. I could make it in 4
hours from here to KL that include a 30minute stop for dinner, and another 45
minutes from kl to klang. I came back to gua musang this morning. I reached
here at 2 am after 4 hours drive ALONE without my brother. Honestly I was
scared and I only stopped twice to take a pee and for petrol. But thank god I
came back in one piece. Although the visit to klang was just a while, I feel
much better coz I could go back home. My own home.
I don’t know why, but I’m just counting days to go back to
klang again. I mean to go back for good. I just want to wait until july or
august then ask for a transfer back to klang, and hopefully I can get it just
in time when my brother finish his SPM exam. I’m so homesick, I miss my family,
I miss my friends, and I miss my home. And also I miss him…
But while I’m still here, I will make do what I have and
bear with it. I hope things will get better and very soon I’ll be back in my
own home… for good.
