Well...the pain was getting the hell out of me...I had an insight to what was going on in my body and had the strong feeling that it was appendicitis.My own self examination ruled it out..the stufid fucked up house officer who was such a blurr ass said it was urinary tract infection.And i was like what the hell? I drink like a camel and take loads of fruits and healthy stuffs and me with UTI? HELL NO!!Even then he was unsure and told me that he would send his counsultant down to take a look .I was absolutely pissed.I was going through hell.The pain was fucking shitty untolerable.An hour or so the consultant came.. and my my.. it was my Buddy Sim Hsien Lim!She was like hey!!! I was whooohoooo its me again.. then she ran some tests and it showed that it was some major infection going on... but the antecedant was yet to be ruled out.I was trying my best to get it in their head that it was APPENDICITiS!! i wanted them to remove before it ruptures and kills me!Dr Sim sent 3 registars.4 consultants to take a look at me.. and they were like
HEY!! your the student nurse! I was like yessss.. I am in
pain do something..The doctors took their turns pressing me here and there and leaving me to scream in pain.I was crying so badly.. and the consultant told me he has to send me for emergency laproscopic appendicectomy.I opted for it cause the healing rate is faster and so is the minimality of scars.I went for it .It was a kinda experience I'd never ever forget.The staff who took care of me,the surgeon's smile,the anaesthesist healing touch,it was all just so amazing.
I personally feel that being a healthcare professional is the most noble job ever.I mean now that I have gone through an op myself I can know how my patients feel.The pain,the anxiety,the fact of not waking up with anaesthesia,needles,blood... it can get quite scary.
I had drips on and my veins were blocked.It had to be flushed with normal saline,My hands were swollen,i couldn't walk,I couldn't eat.It was extremely disgusting.My friends Ain and sofyan were the student nurses in charge of me... and the ward I was in was the ward I was posted to before.SO yeah ..I knew all the staff and I recieved first class treatment!:) But pain is pain..Can't deny that.I will never forget the shit I went through.My friends,family,everyone I knew were so supportive.I am so grateful for having such wondeful people in my life.Except for one bitch who is still bitching about me.What goes around comes around are the only words I have for her.
Dear god I hate the scars,I hate how I am feeling.I can't really walk.I can't do anything without assistance.Please give me the strength to do it all.I want to recover.I want to be the old me.Please god heal my emotional pain .And to the dynamic team at cgh,the surgeons,the nurses,my friends,my wonderful family I owe you a million:)
