Nurses in Hospital

Ya know..

This morning i went to
a Medical Centre
to visit one of my relatives.

Let's just say that my relative
is not very flexible when it comes
to moving.

And he's undergoing psysiotherapy
to gain back his strength. I'm glad to
say that he's going fine...

He related an incident to me
that everytime when is time
for his psysiotherapy session, he would
have a difficult time to get off the bed.

So here is where help comes...

But when he told me that he needed
FOUR nurses to lift him, i was shocked!

I mean he wasn't that fat,
plus his BMI was normal..

Then i did a little observation.

I got a little bored and went roaming
around the hospital...

And you know what?

ALL and i mean A.L.L
the nurses are damn bloody skinny..
The legs are seriously like
we chinese like to call...

"Chicken Feet"

That explains the
'My relative is super heavy'
incident...

Man!

Not to say that skinny
nurses are not strong...

The thing is, if you're a nurse,
or dedicated to be one,

You have to make sure you're
up and fit enough to help the
patient.

What if other nurses are busy,
you're alone and you need to get
a person down from the bed?

Don't tell me you'll ask help from
a security guard or the family's
relatives??

I'm not trying to say that all nurses
have to be super strong,

My point is nurses should be fit
enough to lift a patient down from
the bed..

And not need four nurses to attend
one patient. Is just not right.

Two is already more then enough.

Medical health care people should
know what's right and what's wrong.
Every individual should know that
you yourself have to be fit in order to
attend another sick patient...

Isn't that the first thing they teach
in medical school??

Even it isn't
Its still common sense right?

Medical Healthcare Institutes
should make sure that all their
graduates are fit and strong
enough to proceed to their daily post.

Not only to diagnoss or to administer
medicine into patient. They also need
to be strong physically to help patients
up and down..

This is just my opinion....

Which i think will make a big
change in the community as well
as the medical healthcare line if improved.

*winks!
