dang it
another... 14 days? 2 weeks exactly. still have cardio and respi and renal and repro and endocrine and BS
OMIGOD
i had a patient interview yesterday. my very first patient interview (well, the patient was stimulated as in the uni hires outside ppl to come in and act (At rm5/hr u know...) but nevertheless... still my first)
And i was too nervous. No idea why. Was pretty relaxed before and didn't think much about it.. but when i walked into the room, everybody was so tensed, i became tensed too.
Anyway, my patient was complaining of feeling cold. she taken panadol 2 days ago but the fever hasn't subsided. she is worried it might be dengue cause there are a lot of dengue cases in her area and she's worried she might pass it on to her children.
I forgot to ask where did she think she contracted the disease and why she thought it was dengue.
haiz......
That was my only practise interview. After this, the interview will assessed.
I dunno... i thought it was pretty dumb that the lecturer (who will be marking us) thought i didn't get the information from the patient if i didn't ask the qw (eg: we are supposed to find out what has the patient done about her problem and ask the patient but sometimes the patient themselves already told us what they did so it's a bit stupid to ask the qw when the answer will be same)
example:
Patient: I have this fever and i took 2 panadols to help with the fever
Student: Oh... ok. So what have you done about the fever?
Patient: errr... i took 2 panadol.
=1 MARK
Patient: I have this fever and i took 2 panadols to help with the fever
Student: Oh... ok. *moving on to next information we are supposed to gather* So when did the fever start?
Patient: 2 days ago, blah blah blah
= NO MARKS
So in the end, we must ask everything. And sound like a total ignorant fool.
Stupid ness
Lol..so we just have to repeat what ever the patient says and add stupid comments once in a while (eg: "ohh... panadol? my mom used to give me that when i had fever last time too!!!!" ) to build "rapport" with the patients (but wth right? if i had a fever and went to see the doctor, i won't even bother to know stuff like that cause i'll be so uncomfortable in the first place. if i went to see the doctor, i just want to be given the medication to relieve my discomfort asap and go back to rest)
GAHHHH
