Experience in SGH
Yesterday, one of the nurses didn't do a good job when she's trying to do blood transfusion for mom. The team that came seemed to be all trainees. After injecting the medicne into the needle on her left hand, she told mom that the medicine couldn't flow through and had to redo it on the other hand. After poking the needles TWICE on her right hand, the injection still fell through. Her hands were all swollened like a "bao" and mom felt so painful that she shivered badly. Thank God a lady standing beside came in to help. She seemed to have experience with this and mom's hand returned to normal within a short time. I kept praying and after that her pain went off. Everything seemed to be in chaos. Later, another more experienced nurse came to help mom with the injection again on a differnt position and she did it very fast. However, the nurse that hurt my mom previously returned to do the blood transfusion again. This time, she accidentally broke the packet of blood that need for my mom's transfusion. The blood dripped all over the bed. Oh my Tian....! What's the problem..? I was really so put off that I requested to the other trainee for a more skilful nurses to help. We dragged nearly 10pm for the new packet of blood to be ready.
I knew that the nurse didn't mean to make all these chaos and I was mean to tell the nurse off that I wanted to change a MORE EXPERIENCE nurse. I just couldn't accept the hurts that she did on mom cos this mummy of mine is already a worrier but she's being very strong and trying to pull herself through with such condition without being pesismistic. Anyway, I feel that it's the peace of God that's in her and I hope she realised it...
Tonite is the first time that I kiss mom on the forehead. I realised that she's so important to me at that very moment. I do not know how to treasure and appreciate her at times and I do not know how to express my love to her even when I know she mean alot to me. But tonite is the breakthrough to express my love to her.
