so now blogger has removed its beta status and is well under google le...had so much trouble logging in until cHeK pointed out smth..
right now, it's already one week away from mid term break and this time round, MT break is CNY week...so LL have to spend some time on papers and revision. Immediately after the break, i have a paper due and MT test. sighz..
it is either 1. i think learning is not just mugging... 2. i've learnt how to learnt...3. i've become slacker... or 4. the modules i am doing now aren't really theories but alot of common sense...
i am taking things a lil easier...
and this is causing a lil discomfort once in a while... cognitive dissonance...
2 outstanding things i'm up to:
volunteering at NUH
singing in a band... more will be shared another time.
I want to share with u all my 2 brief session at one of the children's ward in NUH where i volunteer. I see groups of medical students, to with their doc in charge walking along the corridor and entering compartments in the ward. over there, they will start sharing and discussing what is with the patient.
* to me, i wonder how the patient and their family were feeling*
I walked around and played/interacted with the sick and some very helpless children and my heart really go out to them... I know the nurses have to face them daily and they have paramount concern towards their health care...and some patients really are difficult to pacify...
perhaps, they would first feel... irritated, frustration...then would these emotions become a sense of indifference (treating the sick human beings as "another of those") and even to the extent of being numb to the pain and sufferings...
I wonder as a social worker and i am not refering to medical social worker... how would i rise up to the occasion to feel and not to feel for my clients; to enter their internal frame of reference and not be attached...对事不对人？？？是这样吗？also not right... ...
doctors, are they getting too used to seeing patient suffering, not able to breathe properly, unable to sleep well...and the doctors just report to work...knock after shift...go home and have their dinner and zzz....at the end of the month, get their pay...
I am watching patch adams... it is very...well...thought provoking.
