Am feeling super duper relieved right now.....have just returned from SGH.... I tell you...though it's miles away from home...but the attention and concern you get from the staff there is 1 million times better than at CGH....We spent less than an 1.5 hours in the A&E, yet, the doc managed to successfully allay all of our fears....
Stepping into SGH, we could already feel the tension in the air....right from the entrance you could tell that they receive many many emergency cases.....there's so0 many people around with worried looks on their faces, and all their staff are moving at quick but purposeful paces....watching them, you don't even mind having to wait, coz you know that everybody is busy attending to somebody else.....anyway, at the Triage room, where they do the initial questioning to see what's wrong with you, the nurses there are super direct and straightforward....i got told off for trying to help Robin describe his pain....=p, yet, they were super concerned about his condition, and tried to do what they could for him....we felt that....she questioned with so so much detail, asking for description of pain, pain score, etc. and darling and me were SUPER impressed with them......
Then, going to the doctor's room, he was patient, detailed, focused, and did everything he could to explain to us WHY this was happening, to allay our fears, to reassure us that nothing was wrong....yet, he did not dismiss our fears and worries like the rest of them did...instead, he did all he could to explain and show to us how he came to such a conclusion that nothing is wrong, even going as far to explain the X-ray to us, and to check in every way he could physically to further understand Robin's pain...then, he helped us do a referral for the Heart Centre to ensure everything was really alright.....
When we left, we felt so much better, and Darling was smiling from deep down for the first time...I think he's really been weighed down by this whole issue, and been very bothered by it... but now, a weight has been lifted off, and he feels so so so much better....you see what a little more attention could have done? It would have saved us so much money and time........ anyway, we commended them in our feedback form coz i think they really deserve it......=)
But like I told Darling, I guess that because of the degree of seriousness that has to be faced for every case here in SGH, they treat everything with lots of care and concern, and do what they can to immediately check out the cause of the pain, so that they can treat the problem more quickly, thus making room for other patients that would need equal, if not more help. Whereas at CGH, I would say that almost 80% of all cases there are probably minor cases, and thus, all their staff end up feeling irritable, and also start to assume that as long as a case is not of major seriousness, they treat it lightly.......i guess environment really makes a difference....and....so i conclude that I'm super glad i'm the guarantor for Angela to be trained full-time at SGH...because I know she's gonna be trained properly there, and that she's gonna get a great deal of hands-on experience.... =)
Anyway, 300 was a good show...thought it was gonna be all gore and nothing else.....and true enough, it was gory, but the storyline was good, and the entire thought of the whole show was not bad......it definitely wasn't a waste of money....=) bumped into Sheena whilst buying the tickets, and she had wanted to watch Hearty Paws, but couldn't make it...... =)
Hmmm...gonna be visiting Galley by the Straits tomorrow, and then going to go to Silhouette.....gonna be trying on a wedding gown for the very first time!!!!! I'm so excited...wonder how i'll look...hehehehe.......i'm anticipating going to Galley too...I just hope it lives up to my imagination...and that this place will finally work out for us.......I really wanna use this place, feel a very strong pulling towards it...just hope my sixth sense will be able to match the practical side when it comes to discussing everything else.......hope God will guide us in the right direction.........as for gowns, really don't know what to expect...will just see what they offer, and see the whole feel of the place, before we can decide....everything is still very tentative, but we have to discuss lots of things with Maria tmr......
School was alright today....I just felt very unprepared for it, coz i didn't have time to focus on my schoolwork at all the entire holidays....of course, I was also very worried about darling, so I couldn't focus on teaching....my kids had a very relaxed day today as a result..hehe...but anyway, i feel that the holiday did them well coz many of them seem more alert and more aware today.....most importantly, I think they did extra work during the holidays, coz they are also more sure of their work right now......hmm...but there's so much to be done for Term 2, coz exams will start in week 6, and we have like 3 chapters of english and 4 chapters of Math to finish before that and do revision at the same time!! argh...my poor kids...just hope they master the concepts in time....
hmm...okay then...will update tmr after my visiting of venue and bridal salon...till then.....
