Gastroenteric @ work place + sunset @ Freo Dog beach

Recently, there's an outbreak of Gastroenteric @ work.. up to 3/4 of the resident caught the virus.. caused by one resident.. who met up with her relative from America.. caught the virus.. infected up to approx. 50 resident. incredible indeed.. source of spreading - Human, Airborne, Food, Poor hygiene.. etc.. Scary.. ended up.. resident got diarrhoea.. vomitting.. nausea.. fever.. chilling.. aching.. Carer got to gown up when entering their room.. n mask to be put on when interacting with infected resident.. Make it harder to breathe as the facility is pretty warm + humid.. especially when u are busy.. carrying out ADL, dining, washing, cleaning.. serving.. Pity those old ppl.. due to dementia.. some dont even know what's happening.. everybody got to stay in their respectives room.. not to loiter around the facility or out of their room.. After 2 weeks of battling with the gastro issue, finally some improvement... due to stringent hygiene control, cleaning, medication.. many resident had recovered from the flu...

Just cleaned up a couple of resident who are down with gastro.. smell really makes one feel sick.. just got back from work.. got a headaches after breathing in the foul smell.. cant help it.. not their fault.. it the virus.. haiyo.. gt to rest now.. taken panadol n heading to bed soon..

Bought huggy lim to freo beach to watch sunset.. haa.. he's enjoying himself to the fullest.. trying to coach him to the water.. timid boy..

End of RPH prac - Surgery ward for Orthopaedic

Got into RPH for my 10 days prac @ the Orthopaedic ward.. Was a fun, pleasant, enjoyable, and learnt lots in for this prac.. seen many pt in ward who had spinal injuries, foot, pelvic, #LNOF, bacteria infection, MRSA, VRE, MVA, old and young.. learnt about different kinds of medication and drugs, ADL, bladder scan, Catheter, wound dressing, Vac dressing, IV, PICC line, CVC (Central venous catheter), IN push, gelonet dressing, etc.. Met many nice and helpful nurses.. taught and learnt alot from them.. the most interesting day was on the last day of prac.. just right before heading off.. decided to head back to ward to bid farewell to the nurses in ward.. To my surprise.. ED happened.. one pt wife got into seizure, in a sec.. the nurses get the cardiac machine ready, chairs and bed removed, BP machine, doctor and nurses came to help.. IV line in, BP taken, recovery position, socks or any tight object removed, hudson mask on, injected some medication for stabilisation, check conscious level, when pt BP has stabilised, check of pt arousability, alertness and orientation, shortly, sent pt to the ED department for treatment.

While walking around in the city, one ABOR woman came walking by (Drunk).. knocked into emilly and accused Emilly for knocking onto her.. quarrel started.. ABor splashed the bottle of beer onto emilly.. got angry.. chased after her.. into jewellery shop.. Passer by stopped ... Pulled emilly away.. n off we go..dont wana anybody to get injury.. as the saying goes.. Do not squabble with a angry person.. After all the commotion.. decided to head for some nice lunch/dinner.. @ King st... The Burger bistro.. nice burger.. ordered Embella cheese burger + Mushroom burger + Chips.. Tink the burger @ Jus burger tasted better... although the burger is about the same size.. 


 Embella Cheese burger

Huggy with headband..

   

Finally, first day of Spring.. end of winter..mmh.. nice n sunny weather.. took some random picture of hug today..wearing my pink n black headband.. haa.. so kawaii.. his kind of camera shy.. whenever i tried to snap a shot of him.. his alway trying to look away.. wierdo.. but.. he look so adorable in headband.. although he's suppose to be a BOY...

Life in perth.. besides sch..work.. friends and family.. nothing much to do..  @ times.. kind of misses my family.. ppl to hang around with .. to share.. that's life... dad provided me so many things that i could ever ask for.. understanding.. Love ya dad.. n definitely my sis.. although she tend to concentrate more on her audi..
Living together as a family.. is not easy.. there's lots of understanding..compromising.. to learn from.. tk time to nuture..

As the saying goes.. everything tk 2 hands to clap.. cant simply change things overnight..

Dislikes when ppl start adding words n tales in their story.. things that are partial true but not factual.. hope someday they will learn to keep their tongue to themselve and stopping telling tales around.. painting their own picture.. tarnishing other reputation.. whatever that happen to that person.. is their own problem.. not necessary for them to "help" in spreading it around..

Rumor: Definition
  1. A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth.
  2. Unverified information received from another; hearsay.
Anyway.. cant help it if it happened.. everything.. there's alway someone to be blame or being pinpointed at..

Dont really like to be so negative about stuff and issues like this.. but.. surprisingly..after staying here for the past few years.. actually changed me .. many issues : ppl.. circumstances..etc..

Alrite.. that's all for now.. my policy still maintain --> Look on the BRIGHT sides of life.. think + look + do positively..
