Last day

Today is my last day at the GP's clinic. Since the GP I was always attached to was off work this morning, I got to be with my favourite GP, Dr Quille, the one who went all the way to see Pareq when she was sick last week since she saw how panicked I was at that time. Too bad, I didnt get to meet my favourite nurse since Friday is her off day. and guess what, I met my favourite patient too (cehs dan2 laa sume pun nak favourite kan, haha) this morning.

So that favourite patient of mine (I've met her previously and she still remembers me), an old lady aged 80++ came in with extensive bruising all over her buttock and her right upper+lower limbs since she fell off her bed yesterday, with a large red lesion on her behind. She said the pain was killing her, and yes it looked really bad, she's very lucky that none of her bones were broken, poor thing.. I had a nice conversation with her while the doctor went out to get the dressings, and she's such an adorable lady, very nice like. Later, I helped to hold her when she was standing so that the doctor could do all the cleaning and dressing.

Then when she was about to leave, she took something from her handbag, turned to me, and gave me a big hug and kissed me saying thank you, then she handed over some money! I was like, no2 it's alright, I can't take this, but she insisted, so at last I took it and gave her another hug+kiss.

It was such a memorable moment on my last day in the clinic. I love elderly people in Ireland, they are very adorable, yes? I'll be missing Killarney..
