Semester 3 lo...

Starting 1st July, I'm officially a sem3 student..
At least partially.. I still need to wait for my cross book to be updated..

Anyway, made it through for a year already!!
~OMG~ That was really fast!
As if manipulated by a time machine..

Sem3 is gonna be hard!
Learning the toughest subjects - Disorders of the Hemopoietic, Respiratory & Cardiovascular System..




But learning about CVS is what I've been waiting for!
Coz, I've been eager about learning to interprete ECGs..
It's a tough subject but I wish to conquer it!!
That will help a lot in emergency cases..

Another new thing is, I'd got a new mantee.........again!
I thought I'll be excluded from being in the mentor-mantee program this sem, but it seems I cant escape..
Anyway, my new mantee is 20years old from Perak..

Good la..
Senior d...
Must accept challanges..

Looking foward into the challanges!

Excitment turned Dull..

Finally, today, there's a patient who needed to have a CVL inserted and I'm so excited!
But, it was still KIV, depending on some test results.

At that time, the semester 4 seniors went back to college for some cross updating so there were only us, the semester 2 and the juniors, semester 1..


When I heard about it, I was so happy, I volunteered to assist the anaesthetist in inserting the line..
This is a rare procedure in the ward as insertion of the CVL is less commonly done in the ward..
Since I just learnt this and it's a rare opportunity, I got to grab this chance!

Then the semester 4 came back after finishing their business..

When the SN looked at me and say, "prepare the trolley for CVL", I was so excited and quickly start to prepare the trolley..
As I was starting to prepare the trolley, suddenly I was called to answer a call..
It was a call from my tutor asking me something about posters in the classroom..
It was totally an unnecessary call as I will be meeting her the coming Monday..

Patient with CVL

After the finishing the conversation, I went back to preparing the trolley just to see those Sem4 seniors taking over my trolley that I was preparing halfway...
Well when I was trying to join in, they seem to be 'taking over' the job pretty well...

So I got out, frustrated..
I couldn't believe it!!!
I know you might have not done this procedure yet, but you could at tell me to pass it over to you rather than just 'take over'!
