Did a "last office" today. That's 3 people this week. What a week! Phew! But, I'm quite sad over a particular one. When she arrives(in the ward), I would specially go up to her and start talking and waving at her. And then she will have this really slow reaction but excited kind of face. Looks like I won't be seeing anymore of her :(
I just found out today that my colleague was actually a nurse who looked after my grandma for at least 2 years in St Luke's Hospital!!! I just mentioned my grandma's name and describe how she looked like and there, she remembered and starting blabbering all the things related to her! It's really heart-warming to hear such things from nurses who once looked after your family.
And there I was, ashamed of myself. As an adolescent, I rarely visited her even though I would actually PASS BY the hospital whenever I go to school! All I cared about was me, myself and I. If you ask me what would be one of the thing I regret in life, it would be not showing love to my grandma. Well, I can't say much for the others because they passed away when I was way younger. But to her, sigh. If only I could turn back in time.
So that's my pledge; To look after all the geriatric patients really well like how I would want to treat my grandma.
I know she's smiling right back at me :)
