As you might know, every Tuesday, I had to go to a General Practitioner, either sit in with her or go to a home visit whereby I get to talk to patients personally. I was so lucky to be in a group as a local student with a car.So, every week, we meet up and go to our GP placement by car. As usual, we chat about our studies and lectures and commented about the 50 year-old female anorexia nervosa (eating disorder) patient who was invited to talk about her experiences. it was really sad if you were there listening to her. Then we started to talk about the hot topic, a guy, 1st year medic student, passed away last friday due to bacterial meningitis. I heard he was in the lecture on Monday and was no longer with us on Friday. I felt sad for the news and pity that he was a really nice guy. Besides, he's a brilliant medical candidate as he's a mature student whereby he had finished a degree before this. Eerything was so so sad.
Suddenly, "BANG!!!!" we knock into another car which I presume that lady was doing an illegal U-turn..Our air bag inflated and that women knocked her head on the stearing. And our car was steaming for a moment. Gosh, my seatbelt hurts me..and now I do have some bruises at my abdominal part where the seatbelt was. But, it was no big deal, we quickly get out of the car as I had a feeling that the car would blow off..But, luckily it didn't..Thank god.. Fortunately, the women was fine too but our car was seriously "injured". I really pity my friend, she was so nervous as it was her 1st accident in her life. But, I notice a big difference between UK and Malaysia, which is, everything is so efficient here..or I should say everyone is so helpful here. There's a lady who came over and ask us about our destination and she offered to help us call the GP as we didn't have the GP's number with us. Then a guy, out of no where took a few photo of our cars in the middle of te road and offered to send the pictures to e-mail to my frined. Then the policeman came over and take note of the driver's identity and those usual stuff.. Another guys, holding a cup of coffee volunteered to be the witness of the whole incident. Surprisingly, we heard the siren of the ambulance from far and it parked right beside us. We were shocked and we tried to convince ourselves that the ambulance came for some other reasons, but, wrong, wrong, wrong!They came towards us.
Haha..I wish to ask them to treat our poor, badly "injured" car. But, since everyone is fine, they left us after that. Then we managed to slowly drive the car to a side and leave it there for some company to tow it away. As we decided to take a taxi to our GP place, the policeman offered to send us there using his police car..Wow!!That's really a new experience!!and the car is really big and comfy..
Then, 2 out of 3 of us are supposed to do the home visit today. which is my turn to visit. We visited a Parkistan women with sick kids and died husband. She also suffering from depression and arthritis (some joint and bone problems). But, she was quite reluctant to tell us her stories, when she started talking about her late husband, she burst out with tears. Gosh, we made a patient cry.. So, we quickly huddle around her and hug her to make her feel better..
I don't know why...but, too many things are happening lately, which most of those are sad, sad, and sad!!!
So, we must appreciate our lives, no one ever knows what will happen tomorrow..
PS : The car was there for 2 days before the towing company took it away.Haha..
