I'm sharing my personal experiences in ARVC for the past 2 days.. Since I'm working on like a 3 weekdays + 1 weekend schedule.. I've got 3 days to foam and die at home.. How nice!
Kinda sad that i phailed my AHDis.. Will be retaking it.. Wonder how did I even fail it!
First day was insane.. Got a preview of my working place.. Met Ruth there (our senior from TP).. Got to assist Dr Lucy Shum.. She is awesome.. She's a friggin hippie I tell you.. Funny to work with.. Showed me the ropes around the place when assisting a vet during consultation.. Met two other nurses Jacqeline and Dionne.. They are sooo nice.. It's good to have sempais ard.. Ruth is kinda strict.. But I guess it's kinda what she learned during her SIP there.. Coz she said that it's all about being independent.. So ok..
Met Dr Jean Paul Ly.. Very very amazing vet.. His uses very little time to diagnose a problem.. And pretty reliant on his nurses.. I guess that's what you would call as "trusting ur employees".. And he is sooo dedicated.. He forgoes his own lunch to commit to surgeries... Like one for the microtomy of a male ragdoll cat.. And another one on the aspiration of the salivary gland of a miniature poodle..
Second day, got to meet another 2 resident vets. They are Dr Brian Loon and Dr Persson. Dr Persson is an american mother who specialises in imaging like ultrasound.. She was so professional with the machine.. Dr Loon assisted Dr Ly with a spinal surgery of a daschund.. Dr Ly was technically so stressed out and was shouting all around.. It was pretty frightening.. But kinda got used to it after awhile.. We talked about various things like cancer being the number one killer of dogs due to commercial diets and lots of other stuff..
Personal achievements for the past 2 days..
1. Got to perform blood tests on my own.
2. Managed to restrain an insanely jumpy German Sherpard which tried to nibble on my fingers.
3. Managed to restrain an insane kitten while the Dr Loon force fed it de-worming tablets.. Though I kinda lost my grip at the end.. And the kitten scratched Dr Loon... ACK... So sorry Dr Loon... >.<
