Reflection *2*

Date: 1 February 2012
Time: 7am-2pm

A) Second day attachment in ETD...around 11.30am the buzzer sounded 3 times..i was asked by CI to follow in ambulance.. the klien was an unconscious young lady of 21 years old.. at 10th miles Dr.Chiam clinic.. when we arrived, just to see how klien being putting in recovery position and try to wake her up by tapping her shoulder. Later one, SN used the ammonia to wake her up and she finally opened eyes a while then we sent her into ambulance and went to SGH. While in clinic, i can't do anything yet i dont know what should i do.
R: I think i should experience more emergency cases then i shall know what i have to do next while reaching the klien in emergency scenes.

b) While the klien, named Jihan arrived SGH, i tried to help her set IV line. I've tried 2 times on her left hand but failed. Then Dr.Siti tried on her Right hand, both times failed too. She then tried on her left hand again near the spot i've tried to set on, then she managed to get it. indeed that is a good line which first i tried to set.
R: I should practise more and not nervous while being told to set IV alone without CI eyeing on me! I have confident but just the skill not sharp enough yet to handle a simple case.
