Woking in NO:1 hospital







Last weekend I went to the NO: 2 Hospital in Changzhou to look after the patient and help them clean the hospital floor. I went to the hospital at 8am with my mom but she left when she drove me there.
First I didn’t know the way to the patients’ sickrooms so I had to ask many people and the hospital is so big that I often got lost there. When I got to the sickrooms I saw many of their relatives staring at me and didn’t know what was I doing in their sickroom. So I had to tell them that I’m volunteering for the hospital to look after the patients. They felt strange because in China we usually don’t have volunteers however they appreciated that I can look after the patients for them. Some patients could not get out of bed because they were have an intravenous drip so every time they wanted to go to the bathroom I had to take the intravenous drip with them. Some of them only wanted me to talk to them so they wouldn’t feel lonely. I peeled pears and apples for them because it is dangerous for old people to peel for themselves. I also changed water for them. They were all very pleased with me and they were happy. Some of the old people even thought that I was their grandchild. I worked until noon and I had lunch in the hospital cafeteria.
I rest for a little while after the lunch and started working at 1pm again. I went to the cleaners there and told them that I was a volunteer here and wanted to clean the floor for them so they could have a rest. I took their mop and started swiping the floor. It took me a longtime to swipe the floor because every time when I finished mopping the floor people would come and step on it because they had to go through where I mopped. After they stepped on it they would leave a footprint on the floor.
However I enjoyed this experience and I think it was excellent. From this experience I learnt how to take care of others and being patient. I also know how to communicate with others well and how to solve other people’s loneliness. I gained how to look after people; many people felt lonely and didn’t want to stay in the hospital so we had to give them warmth.
Now I can easily look after anyone when they are sick or animals that we have in our home. At first I didn’t know how to peel fruits and do a lot of things I felt much more independent and I feel that I can take care of myself if my mom and dad is away.
I like to work in the hospital because I feel independent. Even though I had to look after many patients and I was very busy I like to hear they say I’m a nice girl and she can do things well. These words made me feel sweet and made me wanted to stay there. Maybe in the summer holiday I’ll go there and be a volunteer again.
