One more day to go...

haiz... 4 days of night shift are really torturing... it's like the time is moving so slow... tonight is the last day and after that i will be going on leave... can't wait~! last night was quite busy, i got 2 new admissions and 1 death... on top of that i had to entertain one very irritating patient... sorry i had to label the patient as 'irritating' coz i really dunno what to describe her.... i already tried to be as patient as possible when i attended to her but i have my limits too ok... this patient, she would scream, shout and scold vulgar words all the times...she is very noisy until the rest of the patients can't sleep... i think you can hear her voice in the opposite ward too... aiyo, one of the relative of other patient asked me why never give any injection to make this patient sleep, i said the doctor doesn't give sedation anyhow coz it ever happened that one patient never wake up after sedation was given... this patient's voice can really make us have palpitation, when she shouts, you must immediately attend to her, if not, i think the whole hospital can hear her scream.... i got other patients to look after too, i can't spend all my time on her... what am i supposed to do? this early morning she said she wanted to pass urine, i assisted her to sit on the bedside commode, then she said she wanted to call the police to send her home!!!! she insisted to call police, i told her police won't entertain her because she is in the hospital! then i didn't want to argue with her, i asked my colleague to take over coz i got other things to do... after she finished passing urine she refused to go back to her bed, she insisted to sit on her wheelchair and go to counter there to make phone call... my colleague wanted to assist her to go back to her bed but she shouted to ask me to attend to her, she said she wanted the 'chinese' nurse ( by the way, my colleague is an indian), haiz.... i shouldn't have talked to her in cantonese, she knows i can speak cantonese so everytime she wants me to go to her... no choice too coz my other colleagues don't understand her.... sometimes i really feel so 'sian' , it's not good to be a chinese if you are working in the hospital coz ppl will ask you to translate and attend to patients that can't speak english or malay.... it's not that you don't want to help, but you are already busy with your own work you really can't spend time to do all this... and those non-chinese staff would pretend they dunno anything and push everything to you coz they will tell you they can't speak chinese so they cannot attend to patients... haiz..

work sucks~!
