A DAY OF SORROR.



pagi tadi melawat HUKM. cantik hospital tue, macam hotel 5 bintang. belajar mengenai alatan orthotic dan prosthetic. Mr Lim (owner of Limb brace sdn bhd) ajar tentang penggunaan prosthetic dari preop sampailah pemasangan prosthesis. amputated stump yg baik mempunyai wound yg sembuh sepenuhnya dan tiada oedema. pesakit amputee selalunya mempunyai kesan sampingan "phantom limb". pesakit ni merasai kesan sakit pada kaki yg tiada.

lepas melawat HUKM, pulang semula ke HKL.

Petang tadi melawat ward spinal. Wad spinal HKL adalah yg pertama di M'sia. Dpt tengok kes spinal termasuk tetraplegia dan paraplegia due to accident, TB etc.

Sister OM ajar macam mana utk prevent pressure sore. all patient who are plegic need to be turning 2 hourly eg from right lateral to left lateral. bahagian kaki dan bahagian belakang pinggang disupport dengan bantal.

Kalau mampu boleh guna Ripple mattress.

Sempatla jugak sembang dengan En Khairuddin, a complete tetraplegic. He suffered from tetraplegic after had motor vehicle accident 8 years ago. dia dtg pasal extensive pressure sores over the sacroiliac region.

kesian tengok abang - abang paralysed kat sini. one of the pt cry in front us. we won't bother to ask why. I can't imagine how they can cope by lying down almost of the rest of their life.

I think most of the patient here have a good will. they really want to survive and get better. May Allah be with them always.

here they will undergo extensive rehabilitation program for a minimum of 6 months. if OK, they will sent back home or go to the Pusat Latihan Perindustrian Bangi.
