Just had another horrible night.
It was horrible not because it was busy
and we don't even have the time to get a sip of water or go to the ladies throughout the whole 12 long hours.
It was horrible because...
The patients turned... Bizzard, one after another.
It started at about 11plus pm close to 12midnight, when one of the patient who has been mumbling the whole afternoon suddenly scream.
It was not only scream, her looks, you should see her eyes are wide open and filled with fears; like those in the horror show when the actors or actresses saw someone in white covered with blood and stuff.
It was EXACTLY THAT KIND OF LOOK.
The worst part is, the patient keep looking beyond me, as if someone is standing at my back at one point in time. All my hair just stand when she was looking beyond me and shouted.
Then after a while she just turn to her left and shouted... and then turned to look at us as if she is asking us to help to chase someone at her bedside away. After a while she told my colleague something in malayu, and my colleague told me that the patient said there is this "girlfriend" who was standing next to her bed.
If she is stareing into blank and mumble this, we are still fine; the point is, her eyes are definitely focused on some where as if she is talking to someone who is really there.
After more than an hour of shouting in horror, she begin to grow some guts and started saying, "Masae! Come here!"
I wasn't aware of that until my colleague told me this morning, after asking the patient's husband who is "Masae".
It actually meant Aunty in their language.

Haohao asked me the other day what do we do when we have patients telling us what they see. Lol. What else can we do besides pretend as if nothing happen? Because if you freak out all the more the patients would get anxious and scared.
And after half a night of hoo-haa with this one, just as we thought that everything calm down, another one begin talking in the sleep, after staying with us for so long,only today then she started sleep talking.
And after that another one attempted to climb out of bed, despite of a major surgery and she is supposed to be... Very ill and in a lot of pain and not being able to make great stunts. You should see how she attempted to remove all the restrains and jumped out of bed.
