Back To WorK!

I'm back at work and working my hours hard. Still the kilograms pile up, hahaha. Must be the stress of working. Bayangkanlah, kerja di ICU, anytime your patient boleh drop dead because they are so tenat. Well, not all of them la, but when one is allocated a patient who is in critical mode, sapa sik nervous, betol sik? I still prefer my stroke patients, but handling other cases is extra knowledge you know. Many of my friends, when I tell them that I work in ICU, cannot imagine how I work. Tapi kalau I say I am a nurse, the image that pops in their minds is this...

Nina as a nurse in the medical-surgical nurse early last year

Tapi sebenarnya Nina looks like this now...

Nina in ICU and with Dr Low, our ex resident medical officer. Yes he's married! *grin*

Getting the opportunity to sit down... which is seldom. Nina talking to Mummy Evia.

I got a break from the usual ICU hustle and bustle when I was sent to the Sarawak General Hospital for a 2 week attachment with the neuro-physiology unit. Belajar apa? Belajar pasang wayar rah kepala patient. Yes, I am now able to record EEG waves, in lay men's terms, record your brain wavesla. You know those thingy's that they pop on your chest to record your heart waves? Something similar, but a little bit more complicated. It was a relaxing and educational 2 week for me, and man those people working in the government setting are lucky. They get to relax more, it seems that their stress levels are lower.

The wires I stick on somebody's head. Part of the EEG (electroencephalogram) machine. Each single wire costs RM150+ and the whole set up of computers cost a mansion!

My first proper EEG recording!! Those waves are someone's brain waves. No zamer, I do not diagnose whether this person is a crazy freak murderer or not. Hehehehe...

I'm back in ICU now, and we are as busy as ever. So friends, please understand when I say I'm busy ya? hahahaha... Will post more pictures of my workplace soon!
