Today is my first working sat. Though its a known fact that we have to make up if we have mc anytime during the week but actual working, hmmm, this is the first time.
Hoping it to be less work and stress but it turned out to be completely different........ First work is almost double as usually patient's relatives who didn't turn up during the weekdays will suddenly turn up today asking this and that. Doctors also pop out of no where and do changes without telling us....... some more, i thought today, no elective cases coming in but end up taking more than before also.......
Anyway, tired day also....... :(
Worst, coming to end of shift, out of kindness, i helped the afternoon shift to do a admission which ends up a tragic disaster for me. Sigh........... I got complained!!!! :( No more clean record!!!!!!!! All becos i am accused of not willing to bring the patient to the toilet........)
But helo?!, after my quick assessment of the patient who seems to be unfit to walk or even stand. To which the son and daughter are having problems also, they are arguing in front of me to send the patient to toilet or not, well, so i brought the bed pan + commode (hoping they will decide by then what to use), then i conveniently forgets that the patient is both side hearing impaired so by asking a stupid question, "uncle can you stand up?, the son got somehow fed up and said:"Do you want to challenged?" Thank God, i dragged another SN over with me to help with the uncle (also add in as a witness cos somehow i know inside that this guy is going to cos problem for me), so this SN tried to explain my good intentions to prevent the patient to fall. The son can still say things like can I show kindness to his father or not? I kept my mouth shut and then off we go to clean the uncle up. Little did i know during my absence, they had actually make a fuss to the in-charge.......
As a student or not, of cos, no one likes trouble, but sometimes, trouble just like to knock at your door.... I am pretty upset that he actually complained to my in-charge who happened to be my fav SN, one that i look upon and respect, so there goes my clean record with her. But Thank God, she is understanding enough and just as in not to believe one-sided story. She asked me whats wrong and what happened too...... She too thinks that this family is trying to create trouble for whatever reasons..... Just my day that i cross their path.......
Though i have no idea how far they will go, but i know my stand is clear : - For the patient's safety......... Yes, i had to admit and confessed that i think i did show face (long and black face - due to the long and tiring day), i did wan to blew up which i didnt Thank God, but the accuse of not showing kindness to the patient is too much lor, So what is one of the reason why i switched line and join nursing???? I skin itch is it or FAN JIAN is it!!!!!! :(
I am only sorry to those in afternoon shift who needs to clean up the mess after i left....... Anyway, while i walk home, i also tot abt my attitudes and behaviour lor..... quick lesson learnt also,
