Last Friday was our last day at the polyclinic. These are the wonderful Sisters and CI who make us felt welcome. Next Monday, 3 of us will be at TTSH and Yanna at SGH.
Staff Nurse Monalisa just graduated, Midwife Jumiah.. she's so cute and seated is Staff Nurse Naj... the pretty one. They deal with wound dressing most of the time. I got to chance to open the sterile pack and pour the normal saline... but the rest, that is, cleaning of wound was done by them. Seen all types of wound... and the most unforgetable one was a diabetic patient whose bottom feet had a big wound, size of half of my palm. Red in colour and that's a good sign. He has to come everyday to the polyclinic to have it cleaned.If not treated or cared for, he may lose his feet. Diabetic patients must take care of their feet. Must put on proper foot wear to avoid injury and complications. I was told that there was a case of a patient whose been bitten by a mosquito on the feet and it started to bleed.. maybe it was so serious that the patient ended up with that part of the feet being amputated.
Our clinical instructor, Ms Aw.. thank you for everything.
