it pays to stay in close proximity to school and it's HEALTHCARE SERVICES.
so i've been doing my assignment and research lately, pretty much explains why i haven really been online very frequently. x) sorry for disappearing from the cyber world :p
but anyway, i was trying to link up stress and food as determinants of health and how they relate to one another. (: successfully submitted one weekend before it's due date (: woots. rejoice. and apparently, the link is so true. i haven had the urgue to junk ever since my assignment was getting it's shape (: yipee.
but yeah, assignment shows that food brings stress when it iz in terms of access to healthy food :p hahaha so yeah, i did my research and found alot of articles in their of access, but few are access to food supply. lol. but i did find a few that says access to healthcare services are important and affects health (:
i totally agree with that now.
being an international student with no first aid amenities in my house, i really needed such healthcare services (: and the closest one was my school (: thank God for that!
what happened was that today was friday. and i was stocking up my daily intake of snacks! (: and the next thing i knew was i got the scissors too near my finger and i snipped my finger as well! hmmm!
okay, it's not smth to be happy over. but honestly, when i looked at it. i panicked. instantly. it was bleeding and needless to say, the cut was deep. i could erm, see my flesh O.o eew.
no i couldnt bear to run my finger with water. i took my tissue and tried to dab at but obviously the tissue wasnt a good idea. so i erm, took my only cotton thing around, my facial cotton :p and i scorch-taped it like a plaster. lolol. mental note made to buy plasters.
den i tried calling my caretaker. he should have a first aid kit in his house! but he wasnt at home!! ahhhhh! so i took my umbrella and rushed to school. hahahaha. thought i could juz find someone with a first aid kit, so i walked into the first school building. and to my horror! their first aid kit was in a terrible state. there was nothing in it but bandages. no flavine or whatever. O.o but after putting a proper bandage on my finger, they said the cut was too deep, i needed to go to the nurse ):
so i hurried over to the nurse in the main school building. and phew (: they attended to my poor finger immediately (: so now, i have my finger wrapped like a present after being cleaned up (: and she gave me a tetanus jab as well.
so ta-da!
the adventure of my finger!
or rather, mis-adventure :p
but at least my finger iz well cared for (: and i really thank God for that. plus it's free. cuz i'm covered by the overseas student health cover. phew!
after 2 hours it's still bleeding, my poor index finger cant bend as well. but at least convenient access to healthcare services took care of it efficiently in 30mins (:
