mercy on patients
it's been three weeks by now... i think i still have mercy on patients... when i attempt venepuncture for a few times and i fail, i give patients a break... i ask my expert partner to help or i retry later... nurses think that's becoz i'm still young at work... they're probably right... when my seniors prick someone's skin they keep going and going...
there's (at least) one type of patients to whom i don't have mercy... people who drug overdose themselves with all sort of funny things... each time they do it in the middle of the night and are discovered in the morning by their families and sent to A&E at around 10, by the time they're admitted to my ward it's noon, then nurses do the paper work and call me at 1... that's when i'm almost done with daily routine and am about to go for lunch...
when they come in, they're fed charcoal... when i prick their veins, they're in pain and they cry... when mum sees her miserable child, she's so worried and so they cry together... the whole story is so sad... i think those who overdose themselves are really selfish and stupid... having caused so much trouble for others and their problems remain unsolved... then some months later they come in again and cycle repeats...

our nurses told us that also, when they first grad, they were really nice to patients, but as time pass by, they get ruder and ruder and even shout/ scold patient now... i guess it is the stress/ anger that accumulate inside? sometimes i do get fed up with some patients too, esp those who are bad temper and demanding this and that...
