FANCY MEETING AGAIN....

Assalamualaikum and hi to all. 

This is our new update. :-))

This is our second visit on 24/05/15 - Friday

For our visit this time, the flow is about the same as the last visit. The difference between our last visit and the visit this time was that the one who briefs us is Dr. Hateem. Dr. Hateem is a friend of Ustaz Zul Amirul and also a member of Sahabat PPUM. A bit about his background is that he is still a new doctor there as he just finished his degree in medic.

This is during briefing with Dr. Hateem. The man who is standing is Dr. Hateem.

After the briefing by Dr. Hateem, Ustaz Zul gives us an assignment to observe how we approach the patient and what do we get and give them in return. Then, we fold the towels and then comes the break session.

This is our gift to the patient. It consists of a towel, drinks and Jacob's.

Then begin our visit. In this visit, we are together with a group of nursing students form for about 10 groups of two persons group. We gather at Anjung Siber for each group to get their gift for the patient we're going to visit.

For this week, we visited the wards that placed adults men and women whom we could call uncle, auntie, grandpa and grandma. Those wards are nefrology and dialysis ward and urology ward. Most of the patients in the nefrology and dialysis ward have kidney problems due to diabetes. Urology ward is for patients who have problems with their urinary tract system and reproductive organ.

The wards we visit. 

Unfortunately, phone are not allowed. So, we can't take a picture with the patient. 

The end of the visit marked the end of our program.

 Thus, our program on 24/04/15 ended successfully.

MEMBERS' COMMENT

~WAN~

The most memorable thing during my visit this time is that, there is one particular patient which give me a lot of thinking. This patient is a 70 years old female who just checked in that day because she was tripped and broke her hand. We greeted her and have a little chat with her. She told us about her children's joke. They told her that the hospital had become her 2nd home and then my partner, Aisyah said that if she is healthy again, the hospital won't be her 2nd home anymore but she replied the she will always has a second home. We were curious about her 2nd home. So we asked her. She said that the grave will be her 2nd home. Hearing that both of us kept silent as we do not know how to respon. After that, I thought about how to respon to that type of talk. I gain the answers when I told my friend about her. According to my friend, everyone have the grave as the 2nd home and the only difference is that the time we all went to it. That really leave a deep feeling to me, thinking that I truly should treasure and spend my time carefully and cheerfully. The assignment given proved to be useful to us in enhancing our communication skill with the patient. 

~~MUHAMAD AZFAR~ALPHA~~

Today is my first time visiting the wards at Menara Timur of PPUM (East Tower of UMMC), The wards that I visit are Nephrology ward and Urology ward. This time we (as a Faculty of Science students) collaborate with some Nursing students from UMMC. The purpose of this collaboration is to gain more knowledge on how to treat much older patient. The nursing students usually will visit the patient on Thursday while we usually visit on Friday. Since we collaborate for this time, we have special treat for the patient and their family which are biscuit and drinks.

Our visit this time is a kind of special one. This is because the patient are older and older patient like to talk with the volunteer about their life experience so that we can learn some moral values when we talk with them. I learnt that most of the patient here were sacrifice themselves so that their children can have a normal life like other children. For example, the patient that I visit is a man which is already reach 50 years old from Klang. He actually a patient from Oncology ward(Cancer ward). He was transmitted to Urology ward because he has kidney stone. He was accompanied by his wife. They said that they don't want to burden their child as their children are still school children. They didn't tell the truth about the cancer to their children an that is the reason why he always accompanied by her wife only.

SITI MARYAM : 

To be honest, I can see my improvement visiting the patients this second time comparing to my first one. From my first visit, I was very quiet I didn't really know what to say. But this time, I know how to communicate with the patients and it was fun. Really. The patients I visited shared a lot about their life and they even shared some nice advices which would help me in any situation in life. The second patient I visited was a muallaf(she converted to Islam years back). She had gout and I can see that she was in despair and lonely. Her daughter was out buying her food. She shared some stories with me and my partner and then she started to cry and said that she'll die. So we tried to console her and told her to be strong and insyaAllah she'll be healthy again. I was lost for words that time. It was very sad.And we read some doa for her. Get well soon, Aunty :) After all of our meeting, we gathered and we shared what we went throught that day. My friends shared a lot of stories with us. 

 So, from the second visit, I've learned that we should be very, very grateful for being healthy. We should not complain when we are sick and just have a sore throat cause there's more people out there who are having more difficulties than us. Secondly, we've to appreciate our parents and try our best to take a good care of them. And lastly, we've to be strong handling any situation we are in.

    lawatan kedua, wad orang tua, alhamdullilah selepas lawatan minggu lepas minggu ini saya dapat rasa sedikit peningkatan, minggu lepas adalah lawatan pertama ,ada rasa kekok dan susah untuk bertegur sapa dengan pesakit, alhamdulillah selepas pengalaman minggu yang lepas, lawatan minggu ini saya menjadi lebih berani untuk bertegur sapa dengan pesakit dan saya berjaya berbual dengan seorang makcik , nama makcik ini adalah kalsom, makcik ini sakit sebab terjatuh ketika melawat ke rumah anaknya , rasa terharu sangat sebab makcik kalsom rela berkongsi cerita beliau dengan saya. insyallah, saya doakan semoga makcik dapat sembuh :). lawatan kali ini mengajar untuk lebih bersyukur untuk menghargai ibu bapa saya, dan menghargai kesihatan diri, walaupun hidup tertekan dengan masalah ramai lagi yang menghadapi masalah yang lebih berat dari diri saya. insyallah hargai hidup ini kita selagi kita dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera

    Untuk lawatan kedua ini, kami diberi sedikit tugasan untuk merekod segala perbualan dengan pesakit. Ini kerana Ust. Zul ingin menilai bagaimana cara kami melawat seseorang pesakit sebagai sukarelawan. Sama ada cara kami betul atau tidak. Bagi saya lawatan kali ini agak sukar, kerana umur pesakit jauh lebih tua berbanding pesakit kanak-kanak minggu lepas. Di akhir lawatan, apa yang saya perolehi adalah sedikit keyakinan untuk memulakan perbualan dengan pesakit. Walaupun sedikit, ianya sangat bermakna kepada saya dan boleh dijadikan batu loncatan untuk membuat yang lebih baik pada masa depan.

   Selain itu, lawatan ini juga memberi pengajaran kepada saya untuk sentiasa menjaga kesihatan diri dan keluarga. Diabetes adalah penyakit yang agak 'common' dihidapi oleh rakyat Malaysia. Penyakit ini boleh menyebabkan kepada penyakit yang lain seperti kegagalan buah pinggang dan lain-lain. Oleh itu, saya sedar yang kita perlulah menjaga pemakanan dan mengamalkan cara hidup sihat dalam kehidupan seharian.

How Si Wei

I saw an old man lying alone at the corner of the ward. I approached him, greeted him and offered him my gift. He stared at me and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. I don't know if he is unable or unwilling to talk. Not knowing what to do, I just put down my gift and left.

            For the second visit, I think there is improvement compared to our last visit. We can prolong the conversation now. Due to the task given by ustaz, we got something to ask to the patient such as their name, age, country and so on. At least we got some topics or ideas how to start a conversation. With my partner, Aisyah Kamarol, we approached a woman in early-40 who doing her dialysis.Her name is Ummi. She is from Indonesia.

            We explained to her that we are from SAHABAT PPUM and we are giving free foods for them. She asked us to open the biscuits' box because she was too hungry. She didn't eat anything since early in the morning. no wonder. Well we had a chat-chat with her. After a few minutes, we left to give her some space to rest. She needed sleep, I know.
