Heart after you: Posting week in Columbia Asia

Totally extraordinary posting week in Columbia Asia, it really making me to see the value of simple human life. When u becomes old and there is nothing else u can do other than let ppl fulfill ur basic human needs. Such as lost memory, become weak, eating soft diet food, passing urine and motion, skin integrity become worse..etc etc. they are totally dependent on other to take care of them and everyday they are undergo same process.

First day entering the ward, the smell was ..woh. now I really understand how does it feel if u taking care of 20 above patients’ BO AND PU. And u really need the strength to move some patient since they are in unconscious state. Then ….u can compare the condition between 2 hospitals and the way they are conduct the hospital setting. It is quite interesting.

It really does make me think about what if I have to work in other disaster areas? What if I voluntary want to work in other third world countries? Hygiene and protection of ourselves could be cause big problems. I realize that is not easy for us to give love to others…..only god love. I not talking about share gospel but to show love and put your hand on ppl’s shoulder and touch their face and hair. u need to communicate with those patient who cannot response to u but they can actually listening to u. heart is da key to break the barrier. I believe all of us posted to there did it …it is not about being emotional and build relationship. Something that cannot imagine is in deep inside each one of us. unspeakable.

It also remind me that I need to put extra efforts in order to learn more and more.
