~ Outings... Dislike... ~
8:27:00 pm
Okay... I'm beginning to dislike outings... Outings here refer to sending of patients out of the ward for some procedure such as X-rays, CT scan, MRI, etc... Today alone, I've sent 3 patients for outings...
1st patient for an X-ray... Nothing much... Just that there were so much equipments to move and remove such as the Baxter pump and his feeding pump...
2nd patient for a CT head and X-ray... This one is a total headache... Patient was so confused that at the point where the CT head was about to be done, he just couldn't stop fidgeting... Ended up, we had to get the doctor done to the NNI to sedate him... And for the X-ray, he just refused to be lifted up... As though he was 'stucked' to the bed...
3rd patient to the National Skin Centre (NSC)... We had to take 2 patients down to NSC by trolley... Of course, we travelled down by the ambulance... The worse part was the waiting time... I was practically there with my patient from 2.50pm to 5.15pm... And yes, I had to push the trolley all on my own...
Anyway, the
cheeky ambulance driver 'demanded' for my "
I AM NEW" badge... Worse part, he used the loudspeaker from the ambulance saying, "This is your last warning... Please surrender your yellow badge... Or else..."... *Horrible*... And at the end, from the trip back to TTSH, he told me to 'write' my telephone number on the trolley which was to be returned to the Transport Office... Of which he was kidding... *Sigh*...
And so, the moral of the story is... Please cut down on my outings!! Well, outings is one way where you can escape from work but if it's so much to the extend of taking away my time, no way!!
