Today, woke up at 7am (that's even earlier than monday, where i woke up at 7.45). Felt so reluctant to get myself out of d house to get to Bridgeton Health Centre. Really wish not to go there! To b sure i will b on time at 8.30am, i made a move at 7.33am from my room. There i go, walking down to Trongate bus stop along high street. Wow, that's so dark out there! I can't c anyone around me.. so scared ppl ard me since i was travelling alone. But no choice, cos no one teman me la, some more i m the only imu student going to Bridgeton, n 5 others ang mohs.. Ok, walked for ard 10-15mins to reach d bus stop, found a lady n jus ask her which bus should i take. She said i can take the bus 16 that's arriving, so i jus hop on. Asked the bus driver bridgeton health centre, but he said, oh, u wanna go bridgeton cross. Ok, 95p please. Nvm, mayb he don get what i wanna say, so i din care much, jus hop down whenever i think it's time! Along the way, so scared passed by v far, if so, i need to walk for a longer distance. Someone buzz the bell, n he hopped down. "Did i see Tobacco St or wat jus now?"... n acc to my 6th sense, n according to the map i drawn, yea, that's it. I shud hop down now!! is now!! ok.. cepat cepat go down.. n saw a sign board - Abercromby St. Yea yea... n then walk along the st, then i found Bridgeton Health Centre by looking at the sign board Bridgeton health centre car park only.. No big signboard on the building, but from outer view, u can know that's the health centre. Reached there at 8am.. n i was d earliest........ n the cleaner don let me go in.. i was so gonna cry cos she chased me out, wanting me to stay in the cold... but luckily the main door is those 2 doors kind, u get wat i mean.. ya, so she said i can wait in btw the 2 doors.. then onli i relieved... later 1 min, another girl came.. she was so early also... then another guy, then another guy.. And then i was like .. "where is my partner?" Ok. Later i was asked to go n take a seat at the Dr Ali area.. N manatahu, he wil only come at 9am.. I was like "haiyo, why la 9am n asked us to come so early at 8.30?"... waiting waiting n waiting... n where is my partner again??? it's 8.40am dy but my partner still not seems to b appearing.............finally he reached around 8.45am n we chatted a while to berbond a bit.. n i was complaining that i was there at 8am n got to wait for 1 hour... while waiting for Dr Ali to come, i look ard here n there... saw a mother n a boy there since 8.30am n they r waiting for Dr Ali as well..
Ok. Finally Dr Ali was here n asked us to go in.. we were separated so as 1 person inside wif him n another with the reception there. Mayb he doesn't wan to hv too many ppl inside at one time.. n i m like: wat, i m so gonna b alone? oh no, i dunno how to communicate wif doctor n pt one la!! die la.. that moment, really feel like going home!! i don wan to hv this GP visit!!! but after the 1st pt came in, i hv no choice but starts listening. The 1st pt that came in was the boy wif her mom.. 1st case: impetigo, n the boy take off his trousers to show the Dr his butt with rashes.. he was so pai seh i know, cos i was in front of him... then later on got 2 pts came in just for MC due to muscular pain or joint pain, then another pt wif pain as well, another high bp, another .. can't remember dy.. I know i looked at 6 cases today. There r 12 ppl made appointment wif Dr Ali today, so me seeing 6 cases, n my partner 6 cases. Btw, what i heard from other ppl going to other GP is different from mine separating both of us.. for them, both of them were allowed to be in the Dr's room together.. That's much better actually... Got to c a nurse's dealing with a drug misuser wif leg ulcer, cause the pt got oedema n Dr Ali was asked to hv a look at the pt jus b4 the nurse apply dressing on the pt's leg.. n that ulcer is really disgusting..
After 6 cases, i were thrown outside at the reception, n when i asked the staff what should i do there, n she told me: do nothing, do ur own thing. ok, but then a bit weird la to do my own thing n some more i got nothing to do. So, i started to ask her some questions, trying to find questions out of nowhere, just to create some topics.. but still can't talk for v long, n it's hard for me to catch what is she talking abt also!! later.. quietness.. that's really too sien.. too sien.. .. n she was busy answering phone .. another staff later explained to me what she does everyday, scanning n uploading the scanned letters onto pt medication record.. the tech is v advance, everything paperless.. some more the drug that the dr shud prescribe can also b found on comp, so there isn't a need for the doctor to remember which drug, which dose to gif the pt, cause everything is set in the comp, everything is jus so convenient..
finished at ard 12.20pm and i walked back to argylle st cause wanna save money since it's v near only.. ok, that's a 3 hour of GP visit.. a bit fei la.. i really think is fei... cause.. all the cases i saw are quiet fei la, v v minor problem.. no big problem.. come here for MC.. .. n some more our module there written we shud concentrate on asthma, diabetes, n some other chronic diseases, but i din seem to c all these kind of cases! got one high bp, but erm.. dunno.. my Dr asked me to choose the sore shoulder one instead, so i jus choose that as my case lo. oh ya, i think the doctor here r quite diff from doctor in malaysia. in malaysia, there is always a nurse or staff that will call ur name when it's ur turn to c the doc, but here, Dr Ali walked out to the common area n asked his pt to go in each n everytime. So i was asking him why.. n he said he prefers like this while to hv some walk n he said there is intercall actually but he doesn't like.. aiyoyo.. oh ya, for me, he doesn't seem to b like a doctor, more like a lecturer la!
oh ya, he told me something which i dunno... he said malaysia government contributed a lot on Strathclyde uni new building dunno how many yrs back, that's why there is a twinning programme btw malaysia n strathclyde where strathclyde allowed so many of us from malaysia to study here! anyone knows if this is true? n then he added on, there is only 2 school of pharmacy in scotland, one in glasgow one in aberdeen. He said there is a shortage of pharmacist in scotland as well.. n then something is in my mind: no wonder we need to go back malaysia for pre-reg, is it that the malaysia government ada contract dengan uni of strath that we r not allowed to work here since malaysia is lacking of pharmacist? (dunno if it's true or not, jus something i think) ... it's for u guys to think abt the interconnection/inter-relation btw the contribution n our pre-reg... tata
