End of Nasam Penang.

So fast, i already finished one month clinical practice in Nasam Penang. Its kinda stress to work there... not because of treating the patient but the physio and the ppl im working with... im the only Chinese among my friends, even the physio is an Indian, another one is my senior, luckly she is a chinese... i get very irritated when they talked in tamil especially talking bout physio thg... the physio keep asking me to do the patient, i think most probably most of the patients are Chinese and it is easier for me to communicate with them. Well of course i love to do cause the more i do the more i learn...One time, the physio asked me to give treatment for the patient, and he was asking questions to my friends.. my friends couldn't answer and ask me... and he asked me to concentrate in my thgs, he asking them not me ... and during this 1 hour, they were speaking in Tamil, i don't even understand a single word. I really don't mind if they are speaking some other thgs in Tamil but not during working time... that is so rude... i just can't stand it... so since they act like that, i also speak mandarin with the other Chinese physio in front of them... why do i care so much since they don't even pay any respect to me!!

The worst thg was, we supposed to do presentation. At first, he said that he will choose patient for us, after he chose patient for me, he told the rest of them that they can choose their own patient and they were speaking IN TAMIL!!!  WTH!!! But in the end, only one of them choose herself... well, i hardly touch the patient, and it was very difficult to find time to assess the patient.. Finally i found the opportunity to assess the patient, and he told me that i need to present the next day... i was rushing til midnight, and the next day, we had outing, and he told me to cancel the presentation... i was so pissed and only can cool myself... i hate that attitude of them... and everythg rush until last min... hate that so much!!!

There are some good thgs happened in Nasam too.. we had outing with the patient.. The purpose was to change another environment for the patient to walk and to have fun...We went to Queensbay.. and with the unexpected school bus.. it was a great experience for me and everyone of us... it was a good experience in Nasam Penang... i love it so much.. and miss them so much... It was a new experience for me in Nasam, the treatment they give in Nasam were totally different from hospital... they will have yoga class in monday, which i think its kinda cool but most of the patient don't like it, and they don't come, cause its kinda difficult for them to do.. and the group therapy activities were totally different from what i had done in KKB previously, which i think what we had done in KKB was useless.. :P
