in a nurses shoes...

yuhuu blog~

ive a two hour break before my physiology lec.. so i decided to come home from my nursing theraphy class in the hospital this morning to jot down some words of wat happened.

it was a funny class today. dint know my teacher Yelena Alexevna (i know.. the name sounds so cool ryte) was act very dramatic in acting out scenes for us today. Today our topic was about Injections.... subcutaneous,intramuscular,intravenous n etc..

she explained us the different2 types of syringes, needles and how to correctly break open an glass ampule.

then she asked who would like to become the patient today.. n since no one answered.. she went to her cupboard n took out a pillow. she actually hugged n fluffed up her pillow and said "hello my dear patient".

Yelena : Now students how zu we correctly pirform an intramuscular injection?
Us: err... perpendicular? 90 degress?
Yelena: yes yes.. needle must be straight. see here pls students.

and suddenly she just jabbed the needle into the pillow full force and said "like this"

we looked at her not sure if she was asking a question or was stating a fact.
only when she said "poor patient... no no.. zu kill the patient" and stroked the pillow did we realize it was a joke.
fuh~ u must be one hell of a crazy doc to inject sumone like tat.

Yelena: very good now. Tell me pls.. where is the localization of such injections?
Us: err.. buttocks??
Yelena: yes yes.. very good. which part of the buttock students?
Us: err.. somewhere up here (showing our buttocks to her)
Yelena: specific name pls.. Upper lateral quadrant.. Da students?
Us: Da Da... (upper wat??)
Yelena: tak. tak. tak. (so.. so.. so..) So this part has no blood vessels or big nerves.. Here u may do as u please.
Us: er.. ok. (sounds so wrong)

anyway~
i dint know our buttocks cud be divided into four sections. and only one can be injected into.. coz if u were to inject into the other 3 sections... u cud be injecting into the sacrum or into ur ischiadicus nerve which will then cause intense pain followed by paralysis. In which case.. u'll be making it up to ur patient for life... fuh~ its never easy.

well.. times up~
gtg to lecture now...
till my next post~
