UnNeCeSsArY WoRkLoAd
so after the platoon medics i tot tt i could enjoy life and assigned them wif medical tasks and duties and live happily ever after till i ORD..
how wrong i am..
they graduated and they came and told me.. "sgt.. actualli in SMTI (SAF Medical Trainin Institute) we didn't realli noe alot.. i failed my tests.. but my instructors passed me.."
i asked them, "but u ar all passed out from there!! seriously how do u compare urself wif eddy sufian?? (eddy sufian is the guy who failed the course and returned back 2 the coy..)"
"ohh.. he's actualli better than us.. but the sgts die die wan 2 fail him.. 4 me becoz my sgts understand me.. they noe my pattern and they were confident of me.. but actualli im not verii gdd in it.."
i almost shattered.. i couldn't express this horror i had from their words.. im also veriii shocked abt their abilities and confidence in applyin their medical skills..
warrant quek, our division senior medic, told me tt there ar medics who duno how 2 open a stretcher.. to my utmost horror.. there ar already 3-4 medics in my battalion who dunno how 2 open the stretcher.. they spend quite some time figurin out how 2 b opened and yet i hav 2 teach them over again the proper way of openin a strectcher.. (well when i was a trainee i did not noe how to open up too.. but when i passed out as a medic at least i knew how to..)
and there were other medical skills tt the medics were unfamiliar wif.. wat was bein tot in SMTI seems 2 hav gone 2 a waste.. im realli disappointed and i almost broke down.. i began 2 feel verii discouraged.. wif the platoon trainin in full swing and the coy trainin round the corner.. the medics hav 2 b confident of their medical skills and not b unaware of the things tt they hav 2 do..
now wat i can do is 2 realli pray tt this comin field camp they'll b able 2 impress their superiors.. and also the subsequent wks i pray tt i can teach them watever they need 2 noe effectively tt they'll become confident platoon medics..
