talking to patients with alzheimer's???+ a bit deaf..

I gotta clerk patients.. yeah.. n it's respiratory week.. well.. I dun mind talking to patients, but it would b better if they could answer my questions.. I need the answers to present their history!!!

Well this old lady, lying on da bed looked a bit distress n pale..otherwise fine.. ya... that's the patient i'm clerking..

" Hi, mrs.X.. can we have a chat wit u??" I said..
" what????? I CANT HEAR U.."

Gosh.. gotta repeat.. again n again.. the finally said ok.. no prob..

So.. her it goes..

" Mrs.X, can u tell us what brought u into the hospital?" ---standard question to start with..

" erm.. erm..."

After a minute.. she said.." I dont noe.. erm erm.. I live down the street.. juz by da corner.. do u noe bristol??"

" Yes, we do, we study there.." ( we are at a completely different place.. Weston which is an hour away..)

" I live in bristol.. yeah yeah.."

" so do you noe y u are here??"

" erm .. erm... i fainted that day.. i live juz down da road.. i live in bristol.. i used to live in Weston.. It's a very nice place.. Do u noe weston??"

" Yes, we do.. it's a really nice place.."

" Yaya.. I lived in Uppingham.. It's a very nice place.. I lived with this guy.. he has got 2 cute boys.. n i like them alot.. "

" U mentioned u lived in Uppingham.. wut was ur job then??" ( we were trying to noe whether she was previously exposed to any form of pollutant tat might damage her lungs..)

" well, I live wit this man.. he's got 2 boys.. they are sooo cute.. I like them a lot.. we live in a small house in Uppingham.. Do u noe Uppingham? It's a very nice village.."

" No, we dunno about uppingham, so wut have u been doin in uppingham? wut do u work as?"

" erm.. I work for tis man.. he's got 2 boys.. they are so cute.. I like them alot.. i work for them in Uppingham.. It's a very nice place.. It's such a nice place.. Do u noe uppingham??""

" yes, we noe uppingham.. but we've never been there.. can u tell us a bit about ur condition.."

" erm.. erm..." (long pause..) I tot she cant hear me tat's y.. so i repeated my question..

" do u noe what happened to u when.." I haven even finished my sentence and she interrupted..

" I'm thinking!!... erm erm.. i live in bristol juz down da road.. n i used to live in weston.."

Yeah.. it went on n on.. until her ex-husband came to visit her..

so i said to the man.. like.. sorry.. we are 2nd year medic... bla bla bla.. chatting wit her.. bla bla bla n that old lady suddenly said.." he's deaf!! He cant hear u..!!He's very deaf.."

n i suddenly felt weird coz i've been speaking to some1 hu cant hear me.. gosh.. then the man told the lady.. " Oh, U still remember tat i'm deaf.."

Ok.. so he can hear.. ( he's wearing hearing aids..) n then oni he told us that she's got alzheimer's...
Haiz.. we wouldnt have spoken to her if we've noted about it earlier.. so at the end we've got nothing out of her.. except that she's living in bristol n used to live in uppingham.. AND she's got alzheimers..

I hate my house in UK......

It has been 2 months since i came back to tis bloody place.. I moved out of halls and I'm staying in a private flat.. 355 pounds per month.. and yet.. there's soooooooo much problems with tis stupid flat..

!st.. the heater.. when we 1st moved in the heater is not working.. so we called da agency to get it settled.. n it was sorted quite easily.. but.. now.. the boiler is not working.. there's steaming hot water at da 1st 3 seconds and it goes off..torturous!!! again.. we called them up and they sent some1 over on da next week.. so imagine us bathing with cold water everyday.. i hate hate hate it.. then eventually they came.. tried to fix it.. but failed.. he said he need to ask another man to come over and have a look.. so the other man came da next day.. and he still cant sort it out.. so he said he THINKS there's a prob. with 1 of the expensive spare parts and will come back in a day or 2.. and he did.. n finally out boiler is fixed.. and now.. no heater!!!!!!!!! ANNOYING!!! we cant get both boiler n heater i dunno y.....?? then we called them up n they fixed it.. but.. no hot water again.. as expected.. and on the day when the boiler guy came.. miraculously, everything worked perfectly fine.. we have hot water n heater.. Y?????? i have n idea.. but we are happy to get both.. so it doesnt matter.. But.. da prob. is.. our hot water goes hot n cold n hot n cold... but we din call them up again.. we are affraid if our heater stopped working again.. so till now.. we've been surviving without constant hot water!!!!!!!!!!! haiz..... i dunno how are we going to go thru winter.... gosh.. save me..

now da internet... supposingly we will get da internet 3 weeks after subscription.. but.. we din.. up till now(since late september).. we din.... we hav been trying to ring da customer survice soooo many times.. n i've already spent more than 30pounds juz to call them.. n we've visited da store for 4times juz to settle da prob.. n its never settled..

I HATE TIS HOUSE...of coz not da housemates...haiz.....
