Hello! This is about my experiences on my first week of duty in the hospital.
I am on the Group 7 and we are assigned to the RTS section. That section means Respiratory Therapy Services. This is where the ABG and all the treatment for respiratory problems is performed. The staffs are nice and they taught us all about and what to do's in the RTS section.
My shift was on 2pm to 10pm. Most of the time we do warding. Like we go the patients room and check for their condition and give their medicines for their inhalation. To tell you, there are patients that can make me teary-eyed especially the older people who can't breathe well and there are many machines attached to them. :( There is also a baby in the ICU and it's heart breaking to see that many doctors, nurses all around the baby to be able to save the life but thank God when we got back there again we saw the baby was okay :)
But this one is the most heart breaking part of my duty so far, we went to the room of an elderly man on my second day of duty and I remembered he was fine back then. But on my last day of duty we went there again to get an ABG extraction and it is really heart breaking to be in a room where there are many doctors, nurses and staffs running back and forth, performing all the tests at the same time to save him. You know the feeling when you are in the situation where there is only 50% chance of living. :( It's even heartbreaking to see one of his relative who is already crying because of that. (T^T)
I don't know what happened to him after but I'll ask once I get to duty there again this week (T^T)
I'm going to be better and better each duty so that I can learn new things and discover more. I am also glad because my requirement is nearly done so yay! :)
