true life story.

so there's a patient today who came to outpatient, asking to help out with inhaler techniques.

for the sake of being a good prp, more like more counselling forms for log book,
of course i served her  more than happily.


so there I took the counselling forms, re-run the steps quickly in my mind again, n think of what extra help can i give her.

cause according to her, she used it before, but it didnt seem to work


so i assume, 
could be

1. technique not right   
2. not enough dose,
3. she doesnt like the taste???



so. after telling her the indications, i was about to start with the following demonstration.

    
Prp-lengzai-ken : so, mak cik, 1st hor, u hv to shake the inhaler (like step 1)...
Makcik: (Shakes)... ya, i got do tat...

Prp-lengzai-ken :now, makcik, u take off the cover (on to step 2) ....
Makcik: (clap her hands in surprise) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! 

Prp-lengzai-ken : ???
Makcik:   rupa rupanya have to TAKE OFF the cover is it?????!!!!!!!!!

Prp-lengzai-ken : .... 
Prp-lengzai-ken :er.. u mean last time u use hor, u put into your mouth and puff, with the cover on ar?
Makcik:  (nods.)Ya.....
