I Had My Eyes Set on Geriatrics

Tak tahu pasal apa, when I reviewed back most of the cases that I clerked, 90% of them is a female cases and 70 percent is a geriatric age group patients. Tak tahu pasal apa, naluri aku lebih cenderung kepada golongan warga emas. Maybe sebab they are too motherly to me and very cooperative. Oh maybe I just love listening to their story.

Mula-mula tu memang datang nak clerk, pen and writing pad is ready at my disposal. But sometimes patient really like to terbabas landasan, and I being an empathic bitch I am, takde pulak nak pull them back on track. Maybe I missed my late grandmother and how less closed we have been so I subconsciously compensate my guilt by being to fond to a old ladies. Or maybe I missed my mum. Or maybe sebab cubicle yang allocated to me biasanya selalu dapat patient geriatric sementelahan kami kat female medical ward.

But seriously, female geriatric patient are more appreciative to you. Mereka sangat menghargai masa yang anda luangkan bersama mereka. Mereka layan kita macam anak atau cucu.

InsyaAllah kalau diberi peluang menghabiskan MBBS ni, mungkin aku nak ambil specialty in Geriatrics Medicine, sebab bidang tu tak ramai yang ambil. Yelah, macam Oncology, nobody keen to deal with terminal cases. But for me, I love to be there for people at the end of their golden years, there are so many life experiences you can gain from them. Oh, maybe aku patut buka rumah kebajikan untuk orang tua. I don’t know, that can happen too.

Oh I miss my late grandma so much it changes my perspective.

Now who has a grandmother for rent?
