19 May 2005
Something happened in the office today. Quite scary... It is even worse after what my colleague told me when I was on the way home.
While walking to photocopy papers, My colleague suddenly tripped over and found her lower left limb dislocated. I was just beside her and it happened so fast that i really can't beileve it when i saw the bone jutting out. Somehow I was rather calm and had called for ambulance before other realised what was happening. At this point the old "fake" subordinate of ours then came over, and pretend to ask what happened.
Grrrh!!!! It was partly because of what she did , that caused a series of events which were relate to the accident. What happened was that this selfish aunty seeing that we were out to run errands, called the maintanance guy to adjust the central air con system again so that the wind will not be blow against her. Dun understand taht if she feels cold , while the rest don't , why don't she put on a cardigan instead of wearing those sleevesless aunty-looking blouses. We came back to the office, and saw the maintenance guy hovering over our desks.......(shan't mentioned what happened after that )
Medics arrived in quite a short time, but they spent too long trying to figure out how to move her. Poor gal, she wasn't on painkillers and had to bear with the pain trying to get into the differents position so that they can lift her onto the stretcher.
Encountered probs of transporting her into the lift. Our building lifts really aren't user friendy. Even though there are 6 lifts in total, none of them are cargo lift. The medics had to remove the stretcher and place her on the floor of the lift diagonally. Then another medic had to make a second trip of transporting the stretcher down to the ground level.
Another colleague and I waited at the A&E reception counter for ard 30mins, yet there's no sign of doc asking for her relatives/friends.
Her younger bro had arrived and then was talking with the other colleague abt their friends' dislocation cases. Eeeeeek.
Finally a doc called for us and told us that she is fine while he led us to her. This gal huh, was smiling and joking with us. Then she told us her bone was mysteriously back in place when she arrived at SGH. Phew, so glad to see her being able to move her leg again. But she could still feel the pain ard the area and need to go for x-ray. Just then, received a call from a flustered colleague, asking how to compile those papers. Hai, so had to leave her under her bro's care and we rushed back to office.
Really pissed off at the way the old woman's ( the 倚老卖老 colleague i mentioned) attitude. Found out that they had printed one less set, and I just asked her to print one more, yet she immediately said loudly " H asked me to print 13 copies one". Grrrh, trying to push the blame to others. Though she's supposed to be my subordinate, yet seeing the way she is being so defensive, and unremorseful, I was really wanna told her off for causing so much trouble , really wanted to lash out that if not for her asking the maintenance guy to came while my partner and I were away, she wouldn't be lying in hospital now. Managed to control my temper by brushing off with a " Never mind I go and make one copy instead".
Think H was alwso possed off by her attitude too, for I can hear the hint of impatience when she told her "right now, can you just make one more copy?".
J is always the cool one, hence she is sort of the leader when we are compiling all these papers. Now that J is not ard, I have to be in charge of giving instructions as H can get quite confused easily. I really feel very weird when I had to pretend to be cool and and confident and said things like
"Relac, can finish one.",
"relac, i do do this , this this, and pass to u then u do this, this, this". We were running sort of time yet that woman still can simply bo chap and wanna leave on the dot at 6pm.
No point in asking her to stay back to help out and faced with her black face, so asked her to finish up whatever she is doing while H & I completed the rest of the work. Left office ard 7.15pm and rushed off to my neighbourhood library. On the long bus journey home, received a call from J, who's so responsible as usual, asked if i had encountered any probs. This girl can still laugh when telling me her knee cap area is swollen now ( according to the doc, the body will take some time to abord the fluid), and joked abt it's her first time on an ambulance ride. Then she told me something, which I thing it's better to write abt that another time. Too eerie....
(update: ok, shall not mention here. Really too eerie. Ask me personally if u are interested......)
***************
I really hope that "no news is good news" theory still applies to the condition I am monitoring now. Today, "that event" din happenned, so difficult for me to set a conclusion. 心里真的忐忑不安......
