On the Last Day in Lab

So it was the last day of serving for the community in the community clinic. Where labs and perception and blood taking and pharmacy are concerned. And I just hate to say goodbye to the clinic. What's with all those crowds and practical work to do, I'm really totally in love with clinic.

To mark the last day in the clinic, I was doing labs for the 2nd time. The first time was dealt with lots of blood testing and urine analysis.

But this time round, it was random or fasting or 2 hours post food blood sugar testing from 0800 till 1000.

Kamariah Ibrahim... Fasting? Okay... here you go...

Lim Koh Aw... Ate anything this morning? No? Okay... Here you go.

Basically it was lots of calling out for patient's name through the small counter and pricking on their fingers to take a small drop of blood to test for their blood sugar, fasting or non-fasting.

Other than that, the lab counter seemed to be really really empty. The little 555 books only come in once in 5 minutes. And blood test and urine tests come once in 15 minutes, or even longer.

To think back onto our last labs attachment, the urine-container tray had to be replaced with new sets of washed-containers. At least once throughout the day. But that morning, very little investigation was done. All those urine containers were still there!

And to look over at the pharmacy counter... I'm jealous. Like... really really jealous.


In a way, does it mean I'll turn into a workaholic? Hmmm... I doubt that. I just love seeing lots of people sick that's why. MUAHAHAHAHA! I'm mean, I know. La la la...
