~ LE PARADIS DES yUnEr ~

Juz ended clinical block 2 wk 1. 4 days only n i'm like a zombie oledi. So tired. It's quite stressed over at NUH here coz there're ppl like Michael n Rachel who like to test us on da critiques, conditions (such as COLD, erm nt da normal cold we noe abt) so on n so forth. Oh my gosh! I've really 4gtten quite abit frm wat we've learnt last clinical postin esp da critques. Positionin still ok lah. But den 4 lower extremities still nid practice 4. I seem to be so blur dat i kip 4gttin which parts n views nid angulations. Sigh.

I tink i screwed up practically everything today. It's really a bad day 4 me. I looked at da calender (those dat u tear everyday type) n saw dat those wif zodiaz ox will be suay today. Din really wanna believe it so din really bother abt it. All until i scanned da cassette under wrong examination done (i put AP knee under skyline), causin da big mess up of da rest of da patient's examinations (da skyline done duno where to be put) but we did put it under dis patient's name as AP view. But it juz seems like da skyline is gone. Cldn't find it anywhere in da computer system. So bobian gt to do another skyline 4 dat patient again. Ok lah can't really blame us since it was da bz period wif so many patients n 2 radiographers went 4 lunch, leavin 3 of us students there doin alone wif another radiographer who seemed too bz to bother abt checkin on us. Erm, ok it's oso my fault lah. Haha... i'm juz too blur today.

Wanted to proceed on a chest x-ray, almost w/o centerin to da bucky. Den da radiographer reminded me n i was so shocked i din do da most impt thing. Argh!

Din align another chest x-ray to da top as da cassette was aligned landscape n we tooo da x-ray. Shirlene den said we might chop off da lungs n indeed we did. Argh! So there goes another repeat.

Did a forearm 4 a kid. Was in a cast (duno how to spell, lazy to check, wateva lah) n so i can't really tell whether it's lateral anot. Radiographer din wanna check so juz went on to shoot lah. Den it turned out like so ugly lah. So far away frm lateral. It's yet another repeat done! Hurray!

Was tryin to gt da foot competencies but cldn't gt it coz i 4gt abt angulation. Da radiographer said she cldn't pass me coz i was reminded to angulate so there goes my foot. Argh!

But did Tib/Fib in A&E y'day lah. Din expect to do any there coz they said wun be able to do de so nv even bring my bk. But i gt to do 1 case n da radiographer passed me. Haha... But she tested me on da critique n i was like duno wat to say coz nv prepare! Argh. Den i went back to revise n went to gif my critique again today. Yeah! Poor Shirlene tinks dat particular radiographer kept pickin on her n nt me when we were at A&E. Erm well, i dun really tink she is really doin dat to Shirlene coz Shirlene did more cases den i did. She nids da forearm cases to do her competencies n tried 3 times there, but da radiographer din pass her all 3 times n she was like at her side givin her stress, tellin her wat's wrong n wat to improve on. Shirlene cldn't take da stress n broke down eventually during our lunch. Sigh. Poor gal. I tink she nids more practice ba. But it's really quite stressful workin under her coz she expects alot frm us. Both Shirlene n i concluded dat we felt like idiots knowin nutting abt radiography under her. Sigh.

Worked wif Valerie on 1st 2 days n both Simi n me concluded dat she's such a cool gal. She's studyin 4 her degree in Australia now but havin vacation, so came back rotted 4 a mth n decided to cme back to work 4 da 2nd mth. She's ard my height n wore skirts n flower earrings! But she's gt a "V" tattoo on her right wrist! So cool lah. N da way she tok n behave is like so cool oso, nt those feminine type. N yet she wears until so feminine. Contradiction leh. Haha... Quite comfortable workin under her. But din gt competencies done under her coz was still practisin to gt more perfect. But da rm is so cute lah. It's da Ronald Mcdonald's rm. Right outside is da Secret Garden which is actually da waitin area. Haha... It's a rm dedicated specially 4 kids. But den if there r no kids 4 x-ray, den it'll be used 4 normal patients.

I heard we r gonna haf a sort of like tutorial session over lunch sum time soon wif Michael. Argh. I juz wished dat he doesn't ask anymore chim chim qns lah. So stressful. Luckily he's nt ard today in Rm 1! Haha... Heng ar. He works so fast lor but he's really gd wif handlin n coaxin patients. Worked wif Catherine today. She's quite nice n i thot she's Chinese but she's a filipino! Anh is a cute guy too! Haha... A few cute docs there too. Erm, ok lah, they r those "can c types" compared to those "cannot c types". Haha...

Lookin 4ward to workin wif Rashidah in Rm 2 wif special scollosis bucky n dat young lady at Rm 6 next wk. Hope to do as many competencies as possible lah. Else nid to push to next clinical postin le. Most of us cldn't really do lah. Tink only me, Ervin n Sap collected competencies. Da rest haven collected any yet. I tik=nk it's quite bad lah. Sigh. Wateva.

It's so tirin lah. Can't make it. Nid lots n lots of slp! Argh! Panda's out again. Bleh. =P
