7th placement

This post suppose to be done earlier since I finished my placement in April.
I wrote for my previous placement experience at here
This placement was my second last in my final year. The duration was longer than those previous placements: one and a half month not so long lor...>.<
This time, my partner are Rupan and Thama. I never been to placement with them before. So, this is the 1st time 3 of us went to placement together. kinda nervous before the placement and new partners some more!!!

This time, we got Tropicana Medical Centre for our placement. To be frank, we never thought it is such a high class centre which fully equipped and well-known with its specialist centre.
No matter how high calss is it, our destination will be the rehabilitation department wei!!! lol....
The rehab department is outstanding as well. I like the environment as it doesn't look like a rehab centre whereas it looks more like a gym. we always workout in gym whenever we got free time!!!
I can lift up dumbbell up to 6 kg by the end of the posting!!!!!! It kinda heavy for me. Initially, I only able to start with 4kg. lol.....such a weak girl. ^^


Apart from workout in the gym, we do learn things. Especially those awesome tendon repair protocol. It might look simple and easy to carry out if we follow the protocol but there are so much of consideration we need to think of, the reasoning behind the chosen protocol is truly important as it can cause significant impact on client's hand and the outcome of the treatment.
phew......whenever I looked at client's hand, I can't imagine how much they gonna to suffer in next few months. However, they surprisingly being steady after full explanation was given and they also empowered to question about their condition and got the answer for it. Perhaps, this is where the BPS model meant for.^^

There are some important and meaningful things for me during this one and a half month:

1. This placement considered a new exposure for me onto neck problem.
NECK is so much complicated than what I thought before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we can't fix the main problem, all those complications are coming afterward.

2. I felt excited when I witnessed Bell palsy patient is getting better and they able to smile with no significant deviation on their lips and facial expression.

3. I really grateful to meet awesome people in the centre. They are kind and friendly.
At first we really thought we gonna get a lot of scolding during this 6 weeks posting. Surprisingly, we made it with lots of laughter and of course some tensed up moments.

Here are the picture on the last day of placement.


 Hey, I'm physio-the-rapist!!!!! lol




 With the dietitian, she is very nice lady!!!



 Summer Neoh!!!!
I like to call her full name. 
I like her laughing style!!!!



 She.....very cool girl.
But if u know her well, she is quite funny too!!!!
I quite scared of her from the 1st day itself.
When we started stay close with her....
that's it...she just like us....very funny and friendly.

I miss all of them.


We still have a few photos with Rupan....but....I really give up on him already.
Waiting for so long but he still haven't passed those photos to me. >.<



This taken during Ashley mother birthday party.

P/S: all photos copy from FB. sorry...I didn't take any photos from my phone!



In a nutshell, WE HAD FUN while learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember I mentioned that I found some one important during my placement?
Yup, I really found him but I didn't got the chance to meet with him.Everyone said I should have booked an appointment with him earlier but not on the last day of posting. regreting.....=.=lll
Perhaps I got a better timing in future if I happen to meet him one day.
