Attachment day 26
Monday
08/10/07

Morning went to the office as Tham is still on leave.
Tuan has to conduct a training and so i attended it.
The training is about Graseby 3000 series pump and he conducted the training for NUH's BME at Tuas office.
Actually Tuan said there's no need for a training because everything you need to know about the pump is already inside the manual.
During the training, Tuan presented with powerpoint slides and brought up some samples of infusion pump from the workshop at level 1 to show live example to the engineers.
Some of the topics covered are the different assembly of the pumps, error code numbers, special tools for testing and some cautions when doing the calibration checks.

Lunchtime Tuan and a salesgirl drove all the NUH engineers and me to Raffles Marina to eat.
The treat will be on the boss and that means we can order whatever we want.
After lunch went back office to continue the training.
It was pretty much hands on for the later part of the training as the engineers have some questions of calibration to ask and Tuan just dismantle the pump and show them step by step.



Attachment day 27
Tuesday

Tham ask me to go to NUH myself to meet him.
so i take the shuttle bus from buona vista MRT to NUH.
He meet me at the taxi stand and bring me to level 2 to LRW ward.
I can see that all the beds are taken and so the nurse told us that we can service one monitor first and they exchange with another bed.
We did PM for 5 bed patient monitors and Tham receive a call from Phillips calling him to go back to office for something.
So he drop me at Toa Payoh central as it is near to Phillips and hopefully after the short meeting he can pick me up and proceed on with the job.
I went to the library to read up some books and waited.
I waited till about 5pm and Tham called me saying that it is too late to do services already so asking me to go home.



Attachment day 28
Wednesday


I was asked to wait at Toa Payoh the swimming complex in the morning and Tham drives me to Gleneagles hospital as i do not know how to go.

We reach Gleneagles, headed towards the security counter to exchange for a pass and went to BME.
Gleneagles we look for Eric who is in charge of our PM and he gave us instructions to do it.
We have no time but only did 2 Heartstart defibrillator.
Tham received a service call that he had to go back Phillips to take a LCD monitor and bring to NUH to change.
So we had lunch at Toa Payoh and headed to NUH to change the LCD for patient monitor.
we had a hard time replacing the monitor as there are many screws at the back and plus the hanger also need to take out.
Then we met NUH BME's Ivan and he help us out here and there and also turn on the monitor for us because we keep pressing the wrong button to switch on the monitor.


Attachment day 29
Thursday

Thursday went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Whole day was doing the same Heartstart XL model M4735A defibrillator.
Tham said had to complete ttsh job as soon as possible.
Pushing the trolley of testing equipment from ward to ward to service the defibrillator is tiring and most of the wards are not air conditional.


Attachment day 30
Friday
12/10/07

Morning i went straight to office as Tham need to get some service replacement part from Mr ong.
So i waited for Tham to come and after he got the box from Mr Ong then we left office.
Heading towards Serangoon' Silver Cross Clinic which is located just beside the bus interchange.
Then i open up the box and realised it was battery inside.
It was the battery for the pagewriter machine.
Tham instructed me to take out the old battery and i can clearly see that the block of battery was bloated in shape.
And i think the battery cost about $300.
Next stop is the EastShore Hospital located at bedok.
Tham had to deliver the small patient monitor to them as the nurse there complain that the servicing took too long.
Tham wanted to explain to them that the Phillips engineers has been very busy in a big project and cause the delay but in the end he never say anything because the BME people never ask anything.
After lunch, we went to gleneagles hospital to service 2 Heartstart defibrillator.
As the others defibrillators were in use or standby so we cannot service.


2:04 PM i need you.
