Danger zone.

Missed MJFC's trip to Sentosa due to attachment.

I treated a Hepatitis B patient at NDC today. He has a lot of other diseases, typical ones like diabetes and HighBlood to name a few. Was very nervous and shaky before he came, while waiting for his slot since HweeLin's patient cancelled. I couldn't believe my fate. Wished he wouldn't make it.

The extent of infection control was high and the unit preparations took long. Most of the parts are wrapped up in plastic, specific to their size and shape. Plastic bags everywhere, for Contaminated Waste. I shook more after calling his number in but i know professionalism will get me through it. As soon as i saw him, all the fear were gone and i truly saw and treated him as a normal human being; or rather, a friend. Double-gloved the procedures. His satisfied remarks and expressions brought this warm, cosy feeling of greatness to me and i guess the mentors are right - Nothing beats the feeling of this.
