The thought for the day - End of Life Issue

This was the 1st time I handled the palliative care case myself, alone while dealing with patient and family members, of course with the back support of seniors... But I was proud of myself, at least, I really applied what I have seen and learnt during the trainings....And I will never forget how satisfied and fulfilling the feelings are...

This is a good start to me and I did not expect that things went smooth along the way... However, I can say that the patient's family members are supportive in providing continuos care that helps the whole process of my job...It is not easy to deal with grief and loss issues when your love one is struggling with illness and there is no further treatment plans for him/her. Everyone will have to deal with this very own and personal feelings in deep....

Due to my job, I have the opportunity to assess the case, intervene the case, and facilitate the case....It is not an easy task to deal with...especially most of the time, fighting with the time and also your stand and your conscience....

I would want to say, because of this job, my world view changes alot, try to think in many perspectives, learn to listen to both parties, empathy, deal with people's feelings etc....I would want to say everyone can do it but how well one can do it, is a different story...

When I have the chance, I try to do what I can to fulfil the wish of needy patients...

When I have the time, I try to do an extra miles to make one have a better quality of life...

Facts are facts but feelings are mean to be....

Procedure is important but humans are what we treat...

Another thought of the day is stop complaining about how sucks your life is when you still able to breath at this moment, eat at this moment, smile and laugh with your friends, have a stable job to do although piles of files awaiting for your action....

Try to treasure what you have in your life.... You will never know how torture it will be when you fall sick... Health is important but people envy people with lots of money rather than have good health! What an ironic!
Can you imagine yourself lying on the bed and depend on others to assist you in your daily activities, you cant feed yourself but awaiting others to milk feed you, from time to time you need to take tablets of medications... ends up suffering...

Today's blog is abit "dull" but I feel that I will not forget it in my life as I have learnt something and made something to happen just because of somebody... Now I understand how important the role me can be ^^ Gambateh!!!
