Tuesday, September 4, 2007


hell0 !

today wake up slightly later at 7am because i meeting william, the senior engineer at yio chu kang MRT at 830am.

about 730 left house take bus then mrt. morning crowd flood the mrt after woodlands station.
alight at yio chu kang station about 720am.
waited for william to fetch me to mount elizabeth hospital behind paragon shopping centre at orchard.

it took quite a while to reach orchard as there was traffic jam in the morning almost everywhere!
reach orchard, william parked his vehicle at paragon carpark. i asked him why, he said that there isn't any parking lot at mount Elizabeth because the carpark is very small. so we walk through paragon shopping and cross the road to the hospital.
change the pass to enter and we make our way to the operating theater (OT). but before going to OT, we have to change our clothes to their standard dressing as we all seen in the television programs. arrive at OT, and today we doing a machine named Cusa excel. it is a machine use to cure kidney stone. Using very high frequency ultrasound to 'melt' or dissolve the stones. it sounds cool definitely isn't it !

so its TIME to get hands on !
William powered on the machine to check if its working and what kinds of error it has.
theres a handpiece warning and the manual said its the vibration error.
so william concluded that the handpiece for that equipment was spoilt therefore we change a handpiece. but the same error keep appearing no matter how much we tried. after examine the machine and william discover that the jumper at the circuit board was placed at wrong jumper. it was suppose to be pin2 and pin3 together but the machine had put it pin1 and pin2. so we try putting the jumper to pin2&pin3. the warning sign still appear so william decided that the machine has problem. so i suppose the machine need to be replace.

Luchtime.
went to the hospital canteen to have lunch. not that many people queuing for food so we decided to eat there and the next appointment would be at paragon so we did not bother to find other eating place.
the food there is okay but a bit expensive for us. william told me that the staffs working there only need to pay $1.50 for lunch. but mine cost me $4.50 =( .

after lunch, we still have quite soe time so we bought newspaper to read. went paragon seven eleven to buy newspaper and went up to 11th floor to wait for next appointment.

serviced an ultrasound scan machine at paragon in a private clinic. the machine has 6 years of history already. so thats why need to service.

seems pretty easy to service and went back office after that.

thats all for the 2nd day of attachment! =P
