A hot hot day today.I just got back from second day of psychiatry posting.It was a little more interesting today.We got to see a patient.He spoke English so at least we can really evaluate him and get to understand his problems better.
He was 74years old.He came in with a wide smile on his face.He introduced himslef to us and he was telling us about his family.And his friend who is in the navy.I don't know if that was real or it was all in his mind.But he was a happy lot.Before he left he blessed us and sang to us.
The ward was depressing actually.They had bars all over but after a while I learned that here in this ward there are all kinds of mental illnesses/disorders.Most patients here are under depression and they might attempt suicide any time.There was one patient I saw who showed her face on the door and was asking me to open up the door for her.She appeared normal and I first thought that she was normal.Until I realised that she was having a different tone.And immediately I had goosebumps and got scared =P
I sms my dad and told him that I'm posted in pediatric ward.He reminded me that he met my mom is psychiatry ward.Haha.It was funny how they met.My dad was doing his posting then and my mom was working there as a nurse that time =) I wonder how I'm to meet my future husband.(sigh...)
