hey whaddya all thinking.... ????
today we learn how to insert naso-gastric tube. U know... th tube that for feeding the patient...
LEcturer ask for volunteers...... but since no one MAN-ly enuff.. so here i come with pride and bravery... heeheheeeee
we all had fun and realx.. i was making fun summmore until when the wnd of tube reach the nose up to the roof and he stop there.. twisting it around... he tried to manouver the tube for a 'U-turn' down to my nasopharynx.... that's the first OUCH!
it took a while before the tube moved furhter down... by then tears started to roll....
then it halted right at the back of my throat.. i was on the verge of chockking as i can feel the tip at my epiglottis..... still keeping still....... breathing in and out.. this is the second OUCH!
then one final breath and i was asked to swallow while our lecturer gave a final push down my esophagus and into my stomach.....
as i breath, i can feel the tube moving slightly in and out... creating a small friction in my nasal cavity.... still OUCH!
and the feeling of a stick at the back of my throat still haunts me...
