Tender Loving Care

It was my turn to "jaga" or keep watch for the night. As usual, the night started with handling over of patients between doctors. Then, my work as a co-assistant starts. Let me show you the work range: from sending labs ( manual, no teleport, lol ), taking patients's vital signs, fluid balance, filling up the medical records ( basically copy paste ) , sending consultation forms, and etc... As for me, this is the first jaga that I had to do residents job of filling their report book too. That took me like forever to finish just for 20 patients. When i finished all the works ( some i know i can help fill but chose to ignore to save time, don't learn this ) , it was already 0230. *hoam* A pillow, three chairs in a row, that's all i need to fall asleep. ( Ok, i know i can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, lol ) No complaints, just tired from all the writing. i do hope I learned from all these writings. But, there's one thing i enjoy about jaga -- chatting w...

It's now official that i finished half of my co-assistant years. For those who might not know, co-assistant or koas (bahasa Indonesia) or young doctor, is similar to the practicals of a doctor-to-be. Here, I had gone through the departments of Demartology and Venerealogy, Internal Medicine, Ear-Nose-Throat, Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Surgery and Neurology.  The department I'm currently in is Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The departments left are  Paediatrics, Forensics, Eye and Psychiatry.  Not to forget, a two weeks of Public Health, and two months of Community Service.  Everything is lining up one after another. During this one year of co-assistant, I've learned a lot. I grew. I cried. I laughed. All these ups and downs colour my life. Each encounter i faced either with fellow group mates, doctors, nurses, and of course, my valuable teachers -- patients, make my life different from before. I've since then learned to embrace these colo...

Since i lost my tablet in July last year, i actually felt scared and scarred. The tablet was not cheap and i had a lot things and information stored in it. It also functions as my phone... now, it's gone. Then, from having a tablet to none, life goes on. I got used to not having my tablet. Some told me greater blessings will come my way. Be patient and wait for it. At the beginning i felt so sad, then i prayed about it. Maybe the person who robbed me need it more than me. Perhaps it would be a blessing to them (two snatch thieves  of them) more than me. Finally, this Christmas, dad and mom bought me a new ipad mini. =D I'm really grateful to have it. Thanks a lot daddy mommy! Ipad Mini & i ps: Things happened for a reason and sometimes, it's beyond our understanding. Leave it to God and pray, listen and be patient. There's always something to learn from every single situation we faced. =)

I can't contain my tears anymore. It flowed freely down my cheeks. Since my first year here, you have been part of my life. Even though at the beginning we were not that closed, but time bring us together. In you I see faith and courage. From you I learned to be strong and faithful. With you I understand more about Him and life. Now that you left for the new chapter of your life. I just contain the tears of both joy and sadness. All I can do is to pray for you. May God guide your steps and be with you all the time. Hope always. Love always. Have faith. And be happy. In time of struggle or happiness, remember Jesus. All the best my sis and bro! :') Esther --> Lee --> Susie God bless!
