For the first time

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I worked clinic today. I was at home. I woke up 5am to travel back to the place I work. I was very tired because of helping and assisting my sister’s wedding yesterday. My feet really hurt from standing for a long time. I was glad that I was able to sleep in the bus. There were a lot of new patients came for their initial prenatal check ups. One patient made me laugh. There is a question in the form that asks about the family planning used. She wrote there they used contraceptive pills and add a comment that says “our family plans to save money to build our own house”. For 10 years of working, it was my first time to encounter that answer.6/29/09

Boring shift

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I worked swing shift. There no labouring patient so we just chatted and spent quality time with our team. I like to have quite shift but not all the time. It is so tiring to do nothing. It feels like the eight hours shift takes forever. Unlike when there are patients, you can’t even notice the time. At the end of the shift, you feel fulfilled of helping patients.6/30/09
