Challenges begin on Mondays


After last week's private meeting with Mr Fung, I found out that he wasn't too unsatisfied with my performance. That's why I have to be better cos he may have high expectations on me. In order to enhance my learning, I have to be better. Unfortunately, that was described as "over-analyzed" by someone. He said guys are simple but girls over-analyze things.

He's right though. Thinking too much was not a good thing. It will affect my performance as well.

In reality, there is no time to think at all if you have 5 cases to handle in 5 hours, as a student. I was doing everything routinely with Musculoskeletal for the first 2 hours. Until my CVA case came, I remember how much I like to be with neuro patients, and how much I dislike MSK.

The CVA patient made my day. People said that those are the most difficult cases to treat cos there involves a lot of assessments and too much varieties. However, I found it very interesting because it's really not hard to find the impairment of patients.

This traditional Chinese man came into our clinic, yelling to his wife from time to time. Mr Fung almost took over the case for me because this was really a BIG man to handle. He taught this old man for motor control, like teaching his son. He hit on his hand, tap on his shoulder. What an interesting scene! Probably only by standing in a more superior position than him, he listens and follows the instructions. And Mr Fung knew I would not be able to lead this BIG man.

It was a very enjoyable session while I reviewed most of the stuff that I learned from extended rehab. I probably get more familiar with the neurological patients.

A tough yet happy day. BIG thanks to this BIG man. Can't stop laughing whenever I thought of him with Mr Fung.
