Young woman with Hepatitis

Sekarang aku cycle kt 7th hospital, department of infectious diseases. kelas aku kt tingkat satu, betul2 sebelah bilik2 patient yang HIV positive. Mak ai, nak kuar gi toilet pn takut. patient2 tu pandang kat aku semacam aje. oh tidak....aku diberi patient untuk di clerk. first time aku jumpe patient tu, aku dh dah agak yag die ni ada Hepatitis. Yelah kuning semacam aje. patint aku ni umurnya 23thn, dh kahwin ada anak sorang. masa inspection aku ada nampak kesan kelar kt tangan die, aku tanya apesal. dia refuse to eveal the true story. The worse thing, she also had kesan lebam2 kat tangan yang aku agak cause of parenteral drug usage (IVDU). Patient ni merokok and alcoholic.
