18th and 19th December 2012
Everything went well on these two days. Two tiring day actually. There were many doctor appointments. On 18th December, there were 10 doctors appointments in total. We brought three patients to the psychiatric clinic for specialist follow up. Many patients were there. It took quite a long time for our turn. While waiting there, for the 1st time i saw what Schizophrenia really is. A patient in his late 40's who came for doctor follow up suddenly started to go out of control. He accused a man who came to hospital to visit his friend as a policeman and said he arrested him in front of his father. The man looked puzzled not knowing what is going on there. He started to shout at the man and attacked him. The nurses and attendant that were around hold him and tried to calm him down. The doctors gave him an injection to make sure he is in control. They brought him to the doctor's room. I have heard schizophrenia patients will be uncontrollable at times and they can't differentiate what is real and not real if they never took medication properly but on that day i saw it happening in front of me. In the evening we brought rest of the patients to get their injection at Klinik Kesihatan Greentown.
On 19th December, we brought 3 patients for blood checkup at Klinik Kesihatan. All the patients need to check their blood cells count and sugar level every six months once. We also brought a patient from the female home care for doctor checkup following her diabetes and blood pressure at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun.
