Chronicles of Old Singapore | A Nurse & Technician from Trafalgar School, Tanjong Pagar Part 2

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Chinniah Saraswathy & P. Rajamogan talk about being in two professions that deserve more recognition in Singapore: a nurse and a technician. Having worked in these jobs for over 40 years, they recount the rewards and risks: saving patients in the ICU and contributing to the growth of the petrochemical industry, but also braving hazards, shift work, diseases, and pandemics. 00:00 Saraswathy: Why I Joined Nursing04:57 Patients & Visions in the ICU09:51 Matrons & Foreign Nurses11:58 The SARS Outbreak23:09 Mogan: Risks in Oil & Gas27:48 Fires & Accidents30:50 Shift Work35:59 The COVID-19 Pandemic43:24 Essential Work on Jurong IslandI am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
