I usually do a summary at the end of every clinical placement and here comes my very last summary of my posting life:
- This placement is beyond knowledge and skills; it went all the way to auditing, advertising, road show, multidisciplinary spirit, marketing yourself, and the most important one- soft skills. You don't know how important general knowledge is in building rapport. Knowing the client's background or watching cartoons just to deal with the kids, general knowledge has helped so much.
- I was lucky to have met a man who somehow killed part of my worries. 'What can go wrong, what can possibly go so wrong?' This will be forever inside my mind when i make important decision.
- I've met specifically these 4 clients that had challenged my perception on toughness. These 4 ranged from the age of 1.5 to 65+ y/o with traumatic medical history. All of them cried during treatments due to various reasons; physically, mentally, and emotionally. Then, they calmed themselves, returned us with a smile and keep on going, except for the 1.5 y/o she's the most heartbroken one among all. They never give up. The path of recovery is full of pain, tear and hard works, and that just showed how tough they are in order to get better no matter how old you are. Us, with healthy body, should have nothing to complain about.
- The setting has many down-to-earth people. Clients who teach you how to do your interviews, doctor who purposely make time to talk to you about SCI and its rehab, speech therapist who talked to you about life after grad and how should things go from there, and lastly, the head of physio department whom i find horrifying. If i would to describe her in one way i can only think of this: if my mind has trigger point, she can just locate it so accurately and release it straight away. So painful and frightening because it is so personal but you feel so relieve afterwards. Hauntingly beautiful.

What have i learnt the past 6 weeks? I've learnt things beyond. Guess this is how last placement looks like. May God bless.
