Communication!

I don't reveal patients' info here.but just to share that i'm really excited when i can communicate with patient. english and mandarin is no problem for me. but i really think it's a sense of achievement when patient can understand my broken teochew. ha. and the praising from fellow classmates when they said i can talk to the patient in this language they probably can't speak. i value the importance of communication and would like to learn more. i took up malay classes last time but can barely speak a few words due to lack of practice. The next hill to climb is probably to learn cantonese.

I proposed sharing sessions to share my limited knowledge on medical terms in mandarin but so far no takers. hee.
