Finally attachment at KKH ends yesterday. Well, things were not as bad as i thought. Nursing kids were actually not that bad after all. It was fun playing with them, seeing them smile made my day.
Funny thing was, parents tend to use us to scare their kiddo to make them listen to them and be obedient. They would say things like, ' if you don't quieten down the jie jie will scold you and poke u with needles ' And then the kiddo will be looking at us innocently and starts to cry. Gosh. I've become the evil witch that goes around poking kids if they don't behave. ROFL.
And some sick little ones, as they are playing happily with their parents, they will start crying when they see me approaching them. I'm surprised that they actually could recognize us nurses. At the same time, i felt so bad to make them cry too. And seeing those little ones' tear from being poke by jabs really broke my heart. They don't deserve all these, they should be enjoying their childhood like any other kids, playing with their favourite toys in the playroom, and not cooped up in the hospital's cot.
After spending 2 weeks at the paediatrics ward, the more i don't want to work with kids anymore. Not because i hate kids, which i thought it might be the reason, but seeing them suffer at this age, my heart just wrenches.
With Love,
