jon's blog

i could go on for 40 days and 40 nights about my blog title and bore you to bits and pieces with 10,000 different ideas i actually had for the name of this blog but because of the 500 characters limit that is imposed upon this mechanism which, by the way, is supposed to promote free speech, i shall shorten it to just two words basically describing what the hell this is all about and who this hell belongs to.

project 355: my prison break habit

DSC00570

prison break is over-rated. prison break is cheesy. prison break is cliche. prison break has plenty of 'callefares' from HOUSE. and worse of all, prison break has a lot of loopholes. we get it that you need to secretly tattoo the prison map onto your body (as if the prison guards can't tell). but do you need to tattoo a reminder to make an allen wrench out of a bolt? that's why they have mind maps, Wentworth!

a simple drama about a brother getting in to get his sibling out of jail and you need 22 episodes to do that? plus season 2 start already (into 14 episodes already). if you need that many episodes just to get out of jail hor, you might as well stay in there already lah! in nursing and the hospital setting, it's pretty much the same. all of these nurses study so hard to get into the health-care industry. and for what? so that they can get their patients out of there... ALIVE. of course, the catch being that it's legal and all. though it's not as exciting as doing it illegally, i would still take at most ONE episode to do something like that.

there's plenty of planning to be considered when tackling the daily tasks of being a registered nurse. coordinating with the physio- and occupational therapists, scheduling the patients for the various procedures, arranging follow-up appointments, constantly reminding the relatives that their father's not dead yet and to 'please please please come and bring him home'. this basically makes us slaves to the phone. and the shitty thing about the phone is that it's two-way communication. meaning that there are other people in the hospital, dying to finish their tasks and get (the patients or even themselves) out of there as well. the phone at the nurses' counter is always ringing non-stop. if i get a dollar for each time the phone rings in the hospital, i would have enough to pay someone else to answer the bloody phone for me.

Michael Scofield (AKA Wentworth Miller) had his okay-hot body of tattoos to indicate the quickest route to the fire escape. the nurse has to recall a million and one different extension and mobile phone numbers every day. normally there will be a folder filled with these numbers lying around, but it's practically missing half the time. and you have plenty of time to boil tonic soup for your loved ones before you ever get to find it again. which is why, i do a Wentworth Miller. i write down all these extension numbers on the back of my hand. and these things just accumulate throughout the day. and sooner or later the whole hand is just filled with numbers and medical terms. i kinda think it looks damn macho. plus it takes a whole new literal meaning with the phrase 'i know these numbers like the back of my hand'.

of course, 'i have these numbers on my fingertips' would not be that practical, even though it's neater. bad eyesight, see what shit? ok lah, i see the shit stuck underneath the nails.
