CNY

hmm... actually nothing much to blog about this chinese new year..it's quite the same every year... we went to visit some relatives as usual... me and my brother were 'talking' about those who never give us the red packets, who 'pretended' to 'forget' to give, etc... haha...

yesterday went back to work... everything was still quite ok until one of the patients turned very sick and passed away... it was my colleague's patient... actually i already have the feeling that this patient was 'waiting' for the 'right' time... she looked very ill... when the doctor told her son that the patient has passed away, he cried immediately... the son and the patient's husband were actually there in the ward for the whole day... i felt that i almost wanted to cry too when i saw both the son and husband crying... it was so sad that your loved one died during chinese new year... of course i've seen so many death cases in the ward but i think this is the first time that i had a different feeling... it was hard for them to accept it but eventually they accepted the fact although they really cried for the longest time... it's not easy to handle this kind of situation especially when you have to call them on the phone and inform them that the patient couldn't make it.. so hard to break the news to them... if they are around during patient's last moment, at least the doctor can talk to them there and then... so that the nurses won't be too stressed~!!!
