I had my first go at certifying a patient's death, because my Reg didn't want to do it.
It was quite scary going into a dark room, to find the patient lying lifeless on the bed. No one taught me how to certify a death, so I had to look it up from a book before seeing the patient.
The lady from the mortuary came up to the ward to look for me to fill in the death certificate. It's the 2nd death I've seen in 2 weeks, and both of which belongs to my team. As this patient was for cremation, I had to fill in another form, and will be paid 65 pounds for it.
It's extra income for me, and honestly, people will be happy to hear that they'll be paid for filling up a cremation form which takes less than 5 mins. I, too, was quite pleased to know that I've earned extra money for such an easy job, but thinking again, it sounds quite heartless to be happy about earning money from the dead.
I'm not sure if I'm right to not reject earning the pounds, but just to make myself feel better, I think I'll donate some to temple back home. Take it as I'm helping this patient do a good deed with the money his family will be paying me.
What u reckon? Does my plan sound ok?
Had to do blood gases on a patient today, and he was chatting non stop to me. Then he asked, "R u married?"....hmm...told him I've got a bf..and he started asking me when I plan to get married then....hahahaha. Sigh...not anytime soon definitely. We started talking a little about my bf, and when he knew my bf was Chinese, he was amazed for some strange reason, and was even more amazed when I told him I'm Chinese too..just not from China. It was an unexpected reaction I got because I think I look Chinese, unless he thought I'm Thai or something. Didn't ask me what nationality he thought I was though.
I guess patients and their family are quite surprised when they see me walking around with my stethoscope, indicating that I'm a doctor. It's not common to find a Chinese working as a doctor in Wales. A patient I attended to today asked if I'm from China. She made a few other guesses when I told her I'm not from China, but still got it wrong..haha. She started telling me about a good friend of hers who is from China, but was sent to the UK at a very young age because the Japanese were after her family during the Jap Occupation. Apparently, it was a sad case for her friend because the parents died after sending their daughter to the UK.
Finally my on call is over for the time being. Am so pleased about it :) Dearie dropped a message to say he'll msg me when he wakes up...hmm..wonder what time that's going to be....hmmm....I can't wait to tell him what happened today.
****Just did a crazy google search of my perverted ex's name, and guess what?! I found an article with his name on it, being arrested for having sex with a girl by threatening her with negatives. The description of this guy sounds like him, and if it's really him being thrown to jail, I think I should have a big celebration!******
