-it was really a memorable one for me, first reason is because, she is the very first patient i handled.. second, admitted ako na medyo nahirapan ako sakanya kasi sobrang hirap nya makausap kasi lagi syang walang reaction and di talaga sya nagsasalita... but i really enjoyed the experience.. very challenging.. worthwhile and very appropriate and suitable sa kung anu talaga ang gusto ko!! :)
