And another day of lecture...

I'm writing this before my lecture start... feeling kind of sian n taxing attending classes after work... =O can't imagine how dear does it cuz his lessons are very regular like every mon, wed & friday whereas mine can be as little as once a week. eKkzzz i lack motivation =(

Work was OK today. LD was saying that how come ever since I come to BTS (Blood Transfusion Service), the workload increased quite dramatically. wahahhaa... hmmm Is that a good thing or a bad thing? FOr mi, I wud interpret increased workload to an equally increased bonus =P But they were saying that according to yesterday's newspaper, our quarter year growth is not that good or sumthing like that. I wonder... I guess we'll have to wait till June to find out yah?

LD counselled 1 guy this afternoon concerning Autologous Blood Donation. Autologous Blood Donation is actually the act of donating blood for your own personal use for future operation or sumthing like that. So if you dun wan to take another person's blood, you can actually donate your own blood n keep it for your own use. Of course there's an expiry for that too, 1 month i think.

But, the most important thing is that your own blood for your own use must be free of all the blood transmitted diseases such as Hep C virus or "touch wood" HIV. So even if you have Hep C infection, you won't be allowed to do Autologous Blood Donation eventhough it wud be transfused back into you. The reason is that there is a chance that a blood mix up may occur and that blood infected with Hep C virus could be given to another person instead.

So anyway this guy going for Autologous Blood Donation and LD was telling him that there may be a chance that he would be rejected as a candidate for Autologous Blood Donation for several other reasons for e.g. taking antibiotics medication, having Hepatitis, etc. The really shocking thing is that..... He asked LD (in chinese), "But that time 4 years ago, I went to see a prostitute lei. Is it ok?" The thing that is really shocking is that his WIFE was actually sitting behind LD while she was questioning him!! Walao.. i mean no matter how honest n open he may be to his wife, but declaring that in front of a stranger in the presence of his wife is......... so.... not right!! It's rude and shows that he has no respect for his own wife!! I felt very sad to hear this sort of revelation... that no matter how sheltered your life is, the fact that these occurance are happening won't change a single thing at all. Doesn't mean that if you don't know, it won't happen.. u know what I mean? It's so... so... sad... n INFURIATING!!

Geez!! It just angers me when I recalls the story!
