Psycho-trauma

Announcing in office that other people's cases are exciting or yawning too much in office is not a good thing because they will register it in their mind -> "cerene need excitment"
True enough. I always think that since I am still young, still able to run fast. I should take more "exciting" cases.. And not until when I am married with kids, or grow old and hunching.. by that time, "exciting" cases will be more of a precipitating factor leading to heart attack.
By "exciting" cases, we usually refer to Trauma cases, which mostly involves patients who come to hospital after Road Traffic Accident, jump/ fell from height, sudden death etc. And more often than not, our presence is to give support to the patient's family.
Recently, Ling has been well remembered for these "exciting" cases. Her first case was actually quite some time ago.. She got her 2nd case last last Friday, which marked the end of her exciting August.
Ling got her 3rd case last night at about 8pm, and only went home at 1am. Her mum initially don't believe that she has to go to work at such odd timing!!

After the 3rd case, it sets Ling into thinking:
- what could I have done better?
Because usually for such cases, Ling hasn't done much but just to provide the practical support (e.g. a hug, tissue paper, warm water, light snacks). And yes, all these are what we can do for the family at this critical moment. Facilitating information, bringing family to the toilet or somewhere warm, prompting family to say their last goodbye to patients...

And all these make Ling having more interest in "upgrading" herself in doing grief work..
