TITLE: A DAY AS A ZOOKEEPER
don't worry...i am still a nurse...juz tat my encounters today..is like a zookeeper. *wad i am going to say is actually quite bad..i realised that i am beri fated with......faeces!!

First encounter: I brought my patient to the bathroom for bathing..after i took off her clothes..she told mi she want to pass motion..so wore back her clothes..then push her to the toilet..ok..done..so push her back to the bathroom..bathe her..done..then after wiping her dry..wanted to wear her clothes..then she told mi.."missy..dui bu qi..wo you da bian le.." looking on the floor..i realised that there's a hump of stool on the FLOOR!!!I didn't know wad to do..thinking back..i think i am beri brave..guess wad i did! cuz i can't leave the patient alone while i look for help and stuffs...so...i took gloves...tissue paper...and...u know wad i did lah...the "texture" is...soft?HAha..ok..getting sick..i know..I THOUGHT that this is the end...

Second encounter: Bathing my second patient..with the patient's maid assisting me..and the same thing happen!!! OMG! as this patient is unable to verbalise that she one to pass motion..so..we were bathing her halfway..then the maid told mi.."missy..see!" then looking on the floor...guess wad...one hump! then this time..luckily the maid is around..she cleaned it! hehe!then after cleaning...continue bathing..then ANOTHER HUMP!!OMG!!but this is NOT the end..

Third encounter: was doing dressing for my patient and the wound is at the sacral area..cleaned the wound...as about to seal the dressing..then the patient say" missy..can i pass motion?" .."sure sure..go ahead..don't worry..i will clean it up for u once u are done.." in my heart i was ...."ARGH!!!!" calm calm!so redo everything loh..that's NOT the end YET!!

Fourth encounter: as my patients are mostly recovering from an event of stroke..some of them are actually incontinent..this patient was conscious and normal..juz tat..suddenly incontinent..so he was sitting on the chair for breakfast..then suddenly he realised that he had pass motion..so we got to clean him and the chair up..

Fifth encounter: one of my patient is mentally challenge de..he was sitting on the chair at the moment when i happen to walk pass him..and i saw a pool of liquid on the floor..the colour tells mi tat it's not juz urine..imagine..so went to have a look..and realise tat his diapers was soaked with faeces and urine and it overflow!!!!imagine..a diaper can contain alot of faeces and urine...for it to overflow!!!OMG!!!somemore..it has to accumulate on the chair...then down to the floor...so imagine how much tat is!!!!then got to clean loh..the patient actually quite poor thing..he can't press the call bell..maybe i should say...he donno wad's happening around him and stuffs..so he donno how to press the call bell also...*vow tat i will spot check on the patient more often!
ok..that's the end of my day's zookeeper-like encounters..abit bad..but i juz suddenly felt so..but then still..i am still enjoying...though i would agree that this is a dirty job..but the result after cleaning the patient up is fulfilling!though sometimes i may lose my patience..but then...muz control! :D
