Hello all! hope you and your loved ones are safe na ka. We've been overloaded these days with lots of information, advice, and complaints through many mass/social media channels. I learned more how to stay safe if it happens again ka.
I have several little stories I heard from my niece who's doing her 'Art Therapy Practicum' at the palliative care ward (65-90+ year-olds), Kwong Siew hospital in the Yaowarat area. Basically, she observes, holds workshops with her peers, and handles one case for her report. So, it's really interesting to learn new things through her practicum.
She was there during the quake and shared with us some stories and actions that I wish to share ka:
- Most of the elderly didn't feel the trembles so on the whole, it was really helpful as they weren't panicky.
- A good system is in place: the healthcare team was calm to manage, moving the patients from the second floor of the three-storey building to its foundation on the ground floor.....good location for
- One support system is really impressive ka. Since mainly, the patients are from those in the area, the hospital called the patients' families to go to the hospital to lend a hand. Quite a few reached the hospital quite fast. They could also help calm the patients if needed na ka. Personally, I'd love to learn more about how they engage the patients' families too.
My niece was with them until all were back to their places before taking a motorcycle back safely..... I'd have to walk back as I've never been so bold!
On my end, I was wondering why I didn't get to some official sites about the earthquake reports. I could find the main ones only hours later. It made me think that there could be a big gap that has yet to be bridged, both publicly and personally to ensure that accurate info and actions could be taken.
Another lesson is that we must be ready to expect the unexpected especially when it comes to natural disasters na ka.
