currently im doing an industrial training as a conclusion for my three years of studying, though in fact i will not likely about to graduate with my coursemates as i will have to extend for another semester to complete my thesis and repeat several subjects.
on 22 June, i came with my friend to the residential college within the the area of our training place, a hospital university. it was saturday, and the training day started on 24th.
to cut it short, it has been a month and nine days since the day i first started and time flew by so quickly that it seemed very unnoticed. just like the life stories of many others, a lot of things happened during the period, happy, sad, frustrated moments and any other sort of things, as a process of learning and developing one's self.
i made a lot of friends since we were on the same team under the same supervisor at the workplace. they were all friendly, easy going, kind, appreciative, and a lot more, needless for me to say how much i really appreciate them.
about a week after we started, i was placed at the Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit, the 3 Tesla machine partnered with my faculty mate and she was being placed at the 1.5 Tesla machine. we studied about the machine, and later we had to make a survey on the frequency of the usage of the machine by the patients. we really didnt know how to start at first. the questionnaire form asked several details regarding the patient, the gender, age, status either single or married, the type of examination, examination comprehension, how many times has the patient being examined through the machine, the responses on the comfortability during diagnostic, hospitality received by the staffs in charged and the commodities provided.
we could always look into each patient's medical form usually present if the patient had an appointment for diagnostis that day. however the problem lied in the responses we needed, which implied we should ask the patients ourselves. at first, we really did inquire the patients, mostly done before they underwent the diagnosis, somehow, if the patient was a first timer, it was practically impossible to find out whether the patient would feel comfortable during the diagnosis, meanwhile for a second timer, the inquiry was based on the patient's first time experience. we did actually try to inquire the patients once they had finished their diagnosis, but almost half of them refused our request with an excuse of hurrying.. "im sorry i am rushing, cannot answer your questions."..
excluding bone diagnosis, all other tissue scanning requires the injection of contrast media to ensure an image with a better resolution. so we had to observe each patient before they were submitted into the machine room from the moment the patient was interviewed to ensure they did not fit in certain conditions that might inhibit them from undergoing the scanning. such conditions might be the presence of pacemaker, cochlea implant or any other feromagnetic implants, these things might disturb the resolution of the image produced.
the first time i asked the head of the MRI department, Mrs Halimah, she explained a lot of things to us students and on many instances i seemed to be quite slow in catching it up. but there was this one thing that i suppose i will briing to the death with my memory, she said, the media contrast that the patient injected wiith is gadolinium. and u know what everytime theres a patient going to be submitted into the scanning room i would ask the radiographer in charged, did the patient get injected with gadolinium? the staffs did not use the word gadolinium to be honest, it was contrast media... and i felt quite stupid of myself...
and the time flew so fast that i didnt realize the time for us to present our findings was about to come, and not to include the ending of the fasting month of ramadhan, and recently we have just celebrated the aidilfitri and now im back at the training place.
there should be two presentations, with external supervisor and with internal supervisor who is going to play the academic part.. well the presentation is far from my interest...
i just wonder, what benefit does this practical bring to me, how can i improve myself from this, what experiences that teach me how to be a better person, have i really changed, am i still the same person who lets his emotional thoughts restrict his way of exploring and how long will it last...
because i dont want my negative emotional habit to be carried away into my job experience....
i know this new entry is a bit gloomy... it has to do with me having complications with my spirituality, education, family, friends and the personal feeling which is a bit tragic.
