I see my reflection in the laptop's reflective screen and I laugh. Although it moves when I laugh so I try not to. It's really a strange sight. I'm wearing a face mask that C gave me (my first time using such products). Anws I went into the living room to try to scare my sis after I patted the mask into place. Unfortunately my mom commented on it and thus my sis did not get a shock. Sigh.
Today was a day that got my blood pressure up on more occasions than one.
PHS: I was paired with an M5 who was holding consultations and my job was to assist him. It was really a pleasure working with this lovely lovely M5. He asked permission from every single patient to let me take their blood pressure and lent me his stet to do so. He silently positioned the stet correctly when I used the bell instead of the diaphragm. When I made mistakes, he would beam at the patient and said in his encouraging manner, "We are all learning", covering my embarrassment. When I could not get the correct readings, he assured me that the patient's pulse pressure was really soft (it was true-he wasn't just trying to make me feel better) or that that particular BP was really hard to get. He gave me a tutorial in between patients and let me practise on him though the patients were piling up. When I got him a cup of milk from the free Omega 3 milk booth, he drank it despite his beliefs that milk increases the risk of osteoporosis (which he preached to the patients but I failed to hear as I was trying to master taking BP in my mind haha).
When I become a senior in the clinics, this is the kind that I want to be. (:
Oh! Time to remove the mask!!
And I will remember this day for more reasons than one. ;)
