These include blood tests, urine tests, and scans (X-ray, CT scan, or MRI) on parts of the brain or spinal cord. Spinal cord. Other identical actions that neurologists perform are: 1. Lumbar puncture this neurologic procedure is performed to check your spinal fluid. A lumbar puncture is a procedure to take a sample of spinal fluid by inserting a special needle after applying local anesthetic to the area to be sampled. 2. Tensilon test this neurological procedure is done by injecting a liquid medicine called Tensilon to see the muscle reaction afterward. This test is recommended for those of you who experience symptoms of a neurological disease called myasthenia gravis.

Electromyography (EMG) Electromyography is needed to detect electrical activity between the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. An EMG examination may be uncomfortable for some people because this procedure is performed by inserting a special instrument into your muscle. However, an EMG can detects the presence or absence of abnormalities in the nervous system as a whole. Before performing this procedure, a neurologist will first advise you not to take blood thinners. Electroencephalography (EEG) an EEG or electroencephalography are electrodes that are attached to your head. This procedure detects electrical activity in the brain. Brain disorders that can be detected with an EEG include brain inflammation, tumors, injuries, to psychiatric disorders and determine the cause of your seizures. Unlike EMG, the EEG test does not cause discomfort. In fact, not a few people then fall asleep in the middle of the test which usually takes up to an hour. I learned directly from the experts and also learned all of this with the help of neurology specialists, all the staff nurses at the hospital. They even know that I am a student midwife not a nurse who understands gynecology and obstetrics more than neurology. All of them taught me by lending me books on neurology and procedures for treating neurological patients. And after 2 weeks I was in the room for internal medicine.

While every day I asked and asked the campus and the hospital to put me in the proper part, namely the delivery room and maternal and child care. Not a place like this. This is already against the law and also this is malpractice. At that time I tried my best and also took action. I first asked the employees there, namely the nurses and specialist doctors, what actions should take to treat the patient to reduce the occurrence of errors in the action because I am still new in the field. While there I lived in a rented house near the hospital area. My current experience is better because my mother comes with me to live in Bogor because my mother doesn't really trust me to live alone in the area because there is a crime-prone area for robberies, robberies and kidnappings and the victims were brutally murdered at that time I lived in that area and I often go home at 12 at night because I enter the afternoon shift and finish at 23.30 WIB. My mother also lives in my rented house, about 1 kilometer from the hospital, but my rented house is quite luxurious and there is a kitchen and a drying area. Every night I have to pass through deserted roads and swamps to cut the road to my house every day because when I go around the road is about 2 kilometers. I was forced to pass that road every day even there I was a little scary there were pythons and coberas.

it happened that time when I came home from the hospital in front of my rented terrace I saw a cobera snake I asked for help from the local residents as well as the fire department to take the snake I was quite shocked to see that and not only that in the rent there was also a long cobera found 1 meter not to peck my mother who is in the house. Dian was quite grateful that local residents allowed us to stay at the village head's house to take shelter until the snake catching process was completed. I didn't even dare to go back to the rented house because I was afraid. Finally I moved to the village head's house with my parents. The people around there are kind and friendly. My mom is very comfortable living there if my dad comes to stay 2 times a week because my dad works in a company as the head of HRD and my dad is also a retired Indonesian National Army soldier. My dad is a hard worker and he doesn't feel at home at home, even though he's retired, he's still working. So you don't get bored easily and get entertainment.
