About Me

Shock In GCC
Today, while I am at work, my colleague, Kit, came up to me and told me someone was looking for me. I thought it was a patient but no I was wrong. It was someone whom I don't know at while. After the conversartion, I realized how 'popular' I was, all thanks to Molly Lee Hui Li.
Here's the conversation-
She: Hi, are you Amelia?
Me: Yes, can I help you?
She: Are you Nurse Amelia?
Me: (skeptically) Yeah. Do I know you?
She: Oh no, I am a reader of wonderwoman.com
Me: Oh, ok.
She: I am a silent reader of that blog and I am truly encouraged by what you have typed to Molly with regards to Prof Tay. I am also very touched on what you have been commenting to Molly. Actually, I wanted to come here in person to find out who you are and meet you in person.
Me: (speechless)
Gosh! Imagine someone who knows you but you don't know him/her. Scary and shocking. But I am glad I did touch someone's life with my words of encouragement. Somemore, Molly and I were just discussuing on how she is also a silent reader of my blog who doesn't really comment on my post as she doesn't know what to comment.
Anyway, everytime a patient or patients' relatives come up to me or comments in the feedback for being a good nurse or having to be 'addicted' to my cheerfulness in the GCC chemotherapy room or being a source of encouragement to them or enjoying my presence, I feel so touched and very glad that I have touched their lives. That was the main reason why I chose nursing as my career- to help and be part of somebody's life. Come to think of it, when I was in SGH and Northern Hope, I had kind of lost my confidence that I would ever touch anyone's lives, especially, I left SGH, I wanted to give up on nursing. Now I am truly glad, I haven't done that. Thanks to all who shown their gratitude to me for my services to them. Thanks to those who managed to be 'brave' enough to come up to me and thanked me personally for touching their lives.
Did you know, nurses do also need words of encouragement and such sincere gratitude some patients or patients' relatives does make their day? I am not sure about other nurses, but it certainly makes mine.
PS: Molly, thanks for me making a famous person on cyberspace. Hopefully, the next person looking for me in GCC wouldn't be some reporter or journalist. LOLx!
