PaTiEnCe
ok my passion 2 blogg has once again exp a dip.. but here i am reportin again..
the last 2 wks i had realli no time 4 myself.. despite the fact tt i had offs and all tt stuff.. but still it seems tt time is so little and by the time i had completed wat i wan 2 do time is almost over 4 me in the civilian world.. (so tt means time is like so short outside of camp and time is like so longgg inside the camp..)
5 daes 4 nites of field camp last wk.. from diggin trench 2 treatin minor injuries.. thank God realli despite the bad weather tt was exp no one realli fell sick..
i realized tt throughout these 2 wks i hav been dealin wif unrepentant ppl.. or ppl wif a big time attitudes.. even though i managed 2 tell them off.. my patience could not differ the fact tt there ar some who had actualli genuine probs..
take 4 example.. i had actualli a friend who is attached 2 my company 4 trainin.. he woke me up in the middle of the nite and complain tt he had rashes.. i jus send him away by tellin him 2 use the antiseptic powder tt he had.. jus like the rest of the men.. after which i kinda regretted coz we had been friendz since sec sch.. the nxt mornin i covered up by givin him the lotion i had 2 apply..
then again last nite while im doin duty at the SAF ward i told off and scolded the guys 4 not sleepin at the appointed time.. there's this particular guy who had sucidal tots and yet i told him off jus like the rest.. thank God he tried 2 reason things out wif me and i agreed 2 let him stay up till he's tired and wanted 2 slp so long as he dun disturb the others.. soon as i read his case files i realized tt he had a tough time wif his superiors and his unit.. in the end i managed 2 gave him some advice and he jus slept w/o givin me any kinda trouble..
i was reminded tt moses lost his temper in front of the israelites and God did not bring him into the promised land despite the fact tt he is a servant of God.. i rem i told willy tt i do not wan 2 commit this error when i had impt tasks on hand from God.. it had somehow seeped into my mind tt i rarely shouted at the men despite their wrongdoings they commited.. and somehow i earned their praise 4 bein a "nice medic" and also their trust 4 the treatment i had 4 their injuries.. be it bigg or small..
i do not wan 2 lose this trust.. its my key 2 reach out 2 them effectively..
