haha actually its not terribly exciting. i'm supposed to be shadowing the medical social workers' head for now and last friday we attended alot of multi-disciplinary meetings.toured the hospital, made friends with some patients, looked through case files etc etc. today i only attended one MDM but i got to do hands-on work for one case. richard taught me to draw the genogram, complete Means Testing, fill in the particulars, paste the stickers, fax the relevant stuff..kinda cool. haha i helped him count money that he collected from the staff too....that was scary la, i held like >$1000 in cash? omg. hahaha and he told me to call up some other place (i think it was a hospital), intro myself as a BVH member and settle some admin for him. cool ttm haha! felt super priviledged.
the hospital food is vegetarian which is kinda sad haha. the staff are served cafeteria-style so you just pay at the counter, get your receipt and pass your tray to the cook. it's usually soup, main dish, 3 sides, fruits, ice water...super filling and it's only 2bucks for everything. and my department ppl bring in their own food lol. richard treated me to lunch on fri and candice got hold of yam cake from i-dunno-where LOL.
then today, i visited the ward with yifen and the senior citizens there are super nice. they were complaining about the food (LOL) and they helped me brush up my dialect. and now i realise my dialect sounds so lousy cos i anyhow mix hokkien and teochew together hahaha. heck la i can't tell the difference.
oh and i filled in a discharge form today! think the guy is leaving tmr. and guess what i get to go with him and ride in the ambulance!!! HAHAHA. that's if mandy allows it cos i don't think i'll be shadowing MSW anymore tmr. prob nursing or sth. but i really hope i get to go!
