Insulin Clinic

Well, today I had a bedside tutorial by Prof J Chan, She gave us a very good scolding. She was very disappointed in our performance and she was deeply concerned. She is not a nasty teacher, she is just very strict and has a very high expectation of us...and she spent a lot of her time teaching and prepare teaching materials...


In the afternoon, we attended the DM insulin clinic, we were greeted by Miss Yeung, the Nurse in-charge. We were supposed to learn about different insulin regimes and how to educate patient on self-injection of insulin. We had our own does of insulin injected ourselves to experience the whole procedure from the pateint's perspective.


This lady shown in the pictures was so afraid of needles that she fainted multiple times (vasovagal attacks) during the session. At the end she was unable to complete the training in self-injections.





She fainted and my classmates tried to revive her (lying her down), I was trying to take another picture, but this happened so abruply that I shaked my camera....
