Today was supposed to be a wonderful day as it started off with a sweet morning video call. Unfortunately too many things happened at once.
I was supposed to be assistant for minor oral surgery, but pt didn't turn up as there was some confusion between the receptionist, Ms Ann Nee n the pt. Kinda disappointed with the receptionist where i ad approached her n asked twice if the pt is really coming, the response I got was: " I m not sure, cox ms ann nee is the one who contacts her." Aren't u suppose to just lift up the phone n double confirm instead of pushing away the responsibility? Well, that's not the reason I m down today.
Jhiew Zhan, our DT110 junior walked in n inquired for 3rd M extraction as she was suffering from pericoronitis for the past one week. After taking hx n OPG, I gave an inferior alveolar block to her, n after 30secs, she told me she couldn't smile!!!My gosh..this is not a joke for me, I have just introduced one of the complications of id block-- facial nerve palsy to her! I was damn panic>< shivering, tried hard to be calm~ she couldnt blink her eyes on the left side n couldnt smile too!
Prof ong calmed and reassured her, then asked me to stay with her till it recovers. I lost my confidence to do suture for her after that. Obvious tremor seen! The whole dt110 is going to know about this for sure! Luckily the LA took only about half an hour to go off.
After that, I have received an devastating email. Haihz.. Hopefully everything will goes smoothly next year March.In the replaced lab session by Dr. Priya, while I was talking to josh, she came n scold Josh:" you are not suppose to interfere their work here" without knowing he has paid n is having elective with us now. Dr Priya was unhappy with our attendance rate, n punctuality too. She was totally disappointed that only 6 out of 9 who attended today n told me she wouldn't have came if no one is interested. However, it is not fair for her to cancel because of 3 persons.
Perhaps She was right, our class has lost our motivational drive ever since the beginning of sem6. Although she was not pointing everything towards me, but I somehow feel embarrassed and was thinking is that my fault of not being able to bring the whole class united? Is it my bad that the class is being so quiet, skipping lectures n always late to the lectures? I m just not a good class rep:(
Anyway, like what I have told Ickes this afternoon, we just have to keep moving on! Sometimes we just have to lose, aint about how fast we get there, ain't about what's waiting on the other side, it's how you climb up after you made a fall. We learn n grow through making mistakes.
