3 nurses of different nationalities came by to verify if I was I. Same questions at different times:
- What's you name?
- What's your IC
- Where do you stay?
- Is this your signature? (shows me a form)
- Any drug allergies?
- Do you know what you're here for?
- Any other conditions?
As I was waiting I realised this time round, I was more nervous haha..cos I was still wearing specs and could see the things going on in the OT & all the nurses rushing around..There were even interns from NTU & NYP reporting for their 1st day duty...
Finally a China nurse came by to walk me over to my OT room. Wah seh..equipments galore...this time round, had a better look around..everything was so pristine, so metallic, so sterilised, so white...haha...
Lay down on the table and they all went about their businesses like clock-work..Anaesthetist went to work on me...wanted to put a plug in my left hand and damn it, could not do it right the first time..KAOZZ, had to poke me a 2nd time. bloody hell, was clutching onto my blanket clenching my teeth..
Anyway, they gave me an oxygen mask, injected the GA into me, I could feel the warm flulid oozing into me..someone said there would be a burning sensation..I mumbled uh-huh...and then I was zonked out...
Next thing I knew, I was up and groggy...and I heard someone say "Oh, she's up, can wheel back to waiting room aready"...to which I fell back alseep again..Back in the waiting room, I awoke again and climbed by myself from the trolley bed back to the usual hospital bed to await for the GA effects to die-out. I remember thinking to myself: "Wah, the op's over already?"
Slept, woke, slept, woke till about 2pm before I made my way home with ahboy...armed with a small bag of medication..
