First day of internship

This is the first day i stepped in the laboratory of such a big and famous hospital- University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC)
Well, i feel excited and full of curiosity how it going to be
But......
Let's heard about the story 1st....


I was being assigned into Hematology Lab alone and Li Juan was in Chemistry lab
Once i was there, i keep waiting for the person-in-charge to guide me
She was so busy answering phone, looking at the computer screen and etc,
ok, after she come, she asked me how long will i do my internship, 
i said supposedly 2 months, but next week will change to another lab,
so i will just spend 1 week in Hematology Lab..
She said " since u are just here for 1 week, u just observe what we doing here la, if u got questions just go to ask around, everybody is busy here, nobody has time to teach u"
Ok, i = ='''''''''''''' swt!
But i still smiling and said "ok, no problem."


Well, i just walk around, looking at the machines..
OMG, i dun understand how the machines work at all!
All so advanced and high tech~ So i just observe how they run the machine,
but i dun understand the principles and theories at all!
Then, luckily got a chinese girl taught me about the blood smear, ESR and so on..
So, i still got learn something although all the staff din't bother me much..


They used so many short forms that i really not understand at all,
For example MP, CV, APTT and so many else,
do u know what is it?


Between, UMMC has their own students studying diploma there and are specially trained to work in the lab once they graduated.
What i wana say is they really expert and they know every single things in the lab,
i know that's all was being covered in their syllables,
but i felt shameful, university student cannot answer the questions in fact the diploma students can answer all the questions...


Well, the main reason is because our Biohealth Science covered all the general things,
but not specifically on lab,
therefore shouldn't blame ourself for being so "lack-of-knowledge on clinical lab"..
we should think the bright side,
for example "we know about nutrition, genetics, plant constituents, diseases, animal physiology, human anatomy, brain diseases, histology, biostatistic, pharmacology, biochemistry etc!"
so we still knowledgeable perhaps?


Well, i am not complaining ok,
i just release what i felt during my 1st day of internship,
i din't feel unsatisfied or not happy,
so far it is OK~~~~


But, what i wana say is..
even though we are not student from UMMC, but we are intern students,
we have the right to learn, please don't ignore us,
i am willing to learn, if chances was given, really....


For now,
What i need to do is put more efforts in finding more info in the hematology clinical testing n principles..


Hope i still can survive after the 8 weeks here!


*main conclusion: I will look forward for the coming of 5pm & weekends ^ ^*
