however,this attachment is really an eye opener for me....
for what is like to be in a motherhood world.....
for the 1st 2 weeks,i was in kk hospital for paediatrics attachment..or another word ,children.....from newborn to 16 years old.....
taking care of sick children.....
i really pity them esp the newborns...
for the 1st 2 months,the babies shouldnt get sick esp after they drank the very 1st sip of the mother's milk which is full of anti-bodies....
so,i bathe and feed them....
they are the cutest human ever....hahhaha.....
however,was quite bored because there were limited things we can do...
so,i just played with them the whole day....
and carried the ones who kept crying and crying.....
my arms are going to die soon ..hahaha...imagine those who want to keep being carried and put them to sleep....
i miss royshius and rui qi....my darling toddlers...hahhaha....
they cried alot...really alot...but once they started to smile,i just dont know why...but i felt warmth in my heart....
since there were limited things to do,i just kept reading the case notes and learnt new things every day.....
2nd week was even better....
cases about teenagers...no...not the abortion cases...but those rebelious cases....
very...very interesting.....from child-parent problems to drug abuse......
okok...its just an everyday issue that is nvr ending ...
but i was curious...
i even tried to put myself in their shoes...
trying to find out exactly why they rebel....because of freedom???
but i just dont understand why there must be a rebel for freedom when we can just sit and discuss together with our parents like what i did....
ya,all of us come from different background.....
maybe i shouldnt compare us....
and...and i made a new friend....a minah rep...hahhaha....
she was nice though......
but when i get to know her better,i realise a lot of things....
a minah rep = trying being jambu,young age,boyfriends and marriage...
her life and my life are really different but it's interesting to know what's her thinking....
maybe...maybe i really shouldnt compare us but instead accepting one another....
ya,accepting ppl is what ive learnt......
so,for the 2 weeks attachment is fun....
yeah,physical diseases are interesting but not as the psychiatric ones....
ya,i was more interested in the psychiatric cases....
the last week was in sgh...obstetric attachment...
another eye opener .....
so,on tues ,i had a test...to bathe the newborns...those babies who were only few hours old to 1-2 days old....
i was scared at 1st....ya lar....they are super precious and fragile....
in the end,it was ok....
the whole day was in the nursery....
taking care of the newborns really made me happy for that day...
so,i feed,carried and change their nappies...
ok..here's the weird thing...
whenever i carried them to stop their crying and carried them till they sleep,i feel as if im a mother....
the feeling is very nice...
and i witness a woman in labor....
tell you that i cant describe the feeling...
it was such a miracle thing....
the baby come out...the 1st cry....the parents' expression.....
it was a blessing......
so,i took care the postnatal mommy....
seeing them in pain and weak after the delivery made me to love mama even more.....
all this time,i always heard stories about the pain and happiness...
but i really believe after i witness all this things and took care of the newborn.....
it was really a blessing.......
