When medical skills is really put to the test

23 July 2010 - Friday. It was just like another friday morning, coming to my usual sitting location, preparing myself for the day - when it happened.

Received news that a boy had fell down and was bleeding badly. Help is on the way, but as a first aider, I must established the first point of contact. Luckily, WP was with me - he is a trained medic. We rushed to the location and started applying first aid to the boy. Suddenly everything I learnt in my course - ALL IN THEORY and MOCK PRACTICALS flashed back. In my mind was.. what should I do when I see this, see that? I tell myself to remain calm, but I can still feel my hands trembling a bit because now everything is REAL. i remembered the few vital things that I must do then, with the help of WP, we did whatever we can to (i) check for injuries/ broken bones (ii) keep the boy conscious (iii) stop his bleeding (iv) ensure he can breathe properly by unbuttoning the top button of his shirt etc. I know (r
ather indirectly) the boy that adds on to the emotional intensity. The paramedics arrived and the boy was escorted to the hospital. Knowing first aid is essential, though one may not use it for a long time, you will never know when you will need the skills.

Boy B was usually noisy and loud. BUT he was responsible today. A different side.

深思

有人说: 知道的越少可能是件好事。但有些人却期望知道多一点。当事实摆在面前时， 心想勇敢面对， 但行动却是逃避的行为。

我有一位朋友跟我说: 如果我在这方面成功，我一定会通知你， 让你知道，分享我的喜悦。
我说: 好啊。但在我心灵的深处有一点点的不想知道，因为我知道我会伤心。

但我们都知道我们之间的这份感情是好真贵的
因为这份‘爱’是永远的。

Dedicated to Han Quan

I looked back at my previous few posts in this blog and realised, firstly, I haven't been updating for months. I do put some of the blame on facebook status updates, photo uploads as all these contribute to telling my friends what I am up to these days, hence reducing the need for blogging. I thought for a bit and came to a conclusion that blogging serves to remind MYSELF of the things I have done, want to remember and experiences and feelings I am feeling at that point in time. Hence, I decided, to the best of my abilities, I would blog again - not on random events but dedicated to things, people, times that I want to keep with me and never forget. This blog entry is dedicated to a good friend of mine who is going off to US for his studies, perhaps never coming back ever again.

In my 24 years of my life, I encountered many events which transcends happiness to sadness. Many of my friends had gone overseas for studies and work for a period of time, say 1 year to 3 years. Each time a friend leaves for SEP, work-related travel or uni-studies, I will feel a sudden lost. I am not exaggerating this. I think it relates back to my personality as an emotional person, a boy (now a man) who values friendship a lot. I once had a conversation with Jasmine regarding the workings of friendships. I told her: once the friendship is established beyond a certain level, there is no need for the parties involved to constantly meet up. Instead, we can be separated for a very long period of time yet still remains as good pals, with the flame of friendship burning beautifully. This time, things are however a bit different. This good friend of mine is leaving for US, and perhaps, never coming back to Singapore. I got a sudden feeling that I had permanently lost a friend but yet his reassurance made me felt that this feeling I got is WRONG. I had not lost a friend, but instead we have to keep this flame burning. Here is where I should put what I learnt to good use - with globalisation and the advent of technology, the world is becoming borderless, and there is always the possibility of me flying over to the states to visit him, or him coming back to Singapore for a holiday again. This propels me to work hard, earn more money to fulfil this purpose. I am not very good with expressing my words and feelings, but I would like him to know that I am veyr grateful to have known you and sincerely thank you for all the good memories we had together. Take good care of yourself overseas and I will see you next year there. Bye friend. Bon Voyage.
