IV terror

another IV terror again this week. kena poked 4 times in total this week. this time using the 16G needle, which is so much bigger than the 20G we used to use. dunno why SAF must use such a big needle. to imagine how big it is, it is just sligtly smaller than a yakult straw. u can even drink from the needle. i had so much trouble with IV this week. my first try, got backflow of blood, everything was successful until i start to push the catheter into the vein. somehow the catheter got out of the vein and i had to redo my IV. 2 more unsuccessful try, where i cannot find the vein. then i finally got it on my last try, but tat was after some 'topo', which is moving the needle around to find the vein. then when khairi did his IV on mine, he poked through the valve in my vein and tat was fucking painful!!!! so people, next time if anyone screw up the IV on you, pls do not blame them. this really requires a lot of experience to be able to do a good job. and i am immune to all sorts of needle pain liao i think. poke ah, poke loh.

then this week is our test week also. end of our paramedic level. means i am officially cleared to save people on the street. the test wasn't as difficult as i think. perhaps i was lucky to get an easy case study. just breathing distress. andre got spinal management and i was the buddy. tat one more jia lat. spend a lot a lot of time on it. luckily didn't screw up the spinal one. the platoon is gonna be so damm small liao loh. the scdf ppl and the dental orderly finish course liao. going to start combat phase. they say we service ppl will just go there and observe and if possible join in. of course i want to join in lah. sit down there watch will be damm boring. one more month left for the course. yeh!!! but sad thing is tat no more nights out liao. this week alreadly no nights out.
