post-practical

finished my practical already..now on 1-week holiday...

but now,i miss the times when i worked at SSH last 2-weeks...

i met a lot of new people..especially kids...

i was assigned to work at the chest physio where we do the suction thingy to extract the mucus,phlegm and sputum in side our lungs...it is done by inserting a small tube down our nose or in our mouth...

most of the patients are small children age 1 month to 4 years..

sometimes when i see them do the suction,i pity them..FYI, they we're screaming out loud okay...

anyway,when i think again,it's for their own comfortability...so,i just went along with it...

on my first day of practical,i saw 1 boy who injured his knee while playing rugby...he underwent operation and had difficulty to move his left leg after that.i also saw 1 uncle,who haven't walk for about 7 years,his joints all tight and contractures..we tried to help straighten his arms and legs while he shout in pain...

after 2 weeks, the boy can already walk with crutches help,up and down the stairs and making good progress...the uncle is now able to move his hands on his own...and even able to stand with support..

these are the kind of reasons why i stick to being a physiotherapists...

because seeing these kind of people,knowing i can help them regain their movement and go through their daily live with ease..those kind f things made me happy...i like to think of how i can help others who are in need...
