it was a good week. surprisingly, our dear sgt joseph has changed. on mon day, he gave us stand by bed. but he didn't check. called us to the lobby for a talk. sort of like a confrontation session. some of us guys spoke out. on the things tat he did that we did not like. he gave his own reasons. some i feel were indeed true. some i don't agree with. since then, he has changed. still strict, but not tat strict. had our RO at 7pm for the first time in the entire 3 week. and it was from him. i can feel that he somehow is surpressing his anger, cause we are still not very disciplined and there are points where he had to raise his voice. just hoping he will not unleash the fire, or it wld be hell for us.

finally after 3 weeks, i am getting very interested in the things tat i learn. i began more eager to learn abt more things. i want to know more. finally, we can implement many sceneiros into the PAM and tat had given me a much clearer view on what to do when encountering a certain incident. spinal management is the hardest of all. when suspected spinal injury, one has to do a lot of things and when turning the casualty to one side to place him on the spinal board, it really does require skills. the medic will have to keep his head and neck straight while the body is being turned to the side and that is one where i really need practice. somehow, when i turn, the head is still being moved. and being with uncooperative partners doesn't help at all. at one point, i was damm tu lan with my partners. one was complaining like shit and the other just thinks he knows everything. let see how he screw up his test.

then there was a 2nd IV session. as usual, cannot find the vein on my buddy, then change partner. sgt joseph got me a girl. wah lau. if on a girl, cannot anyhow topo topo, later she cry how. then poor miss tan became my casualty. can see the vein very clearly. after i put on my gloves and then clean tat area with the alcohol swab, somehow cannot see the vein liao. so feel for vein again, clean again, then poke the needle in. she didn't scream or what. lucky. then no backflow of blood. turn needle to the side a bit, finally found it. did the rest of the things as usual. then she told me not as pain as her first time. phew. then the next day she complain to me she got blueblack........ so IV is damm stressed leh!!!!!!!
