Over the weekend i had two very significant event
A. SPECIAL DUTY
I was called last thursday by my chief resident dra. Santos of the Dept of OB-GYNE of OMMC, asking if we could go on a special duty on Saturday since the residents will be having their in-service exam. i quickly said yes to make them see that i am eager to be part of their department as a resident physician (a plus factor). so me and pam went on duty. pam was put in the delivery room and me at the ER. it was a relatively benign duty. i think we only had 30 or so admissions. but i got toxic nevertheless coz i felt that i was doing an intern's job. i was interviewing patients, doing IVs, making THOC forms, and most frustratingly.. i was the one being pushed by my seniors to borrow blood from the patho department. When i was a clerk it used to be my job. i was good at borrowing bloods, making lambing to patho people and making them beleive that our patient really drastically in need of BLOOD. during my duty, i felt that it all came back. Since my clerks didnt have the guts to borrow blood (since one of my clerk got demerited by the stupid patho people), i was forced to run and make sure that our patients for OR has blood. it was a tasking job since with the addition of me playing a role of an intern, i was suppose to play the role of a resident. doing IE's (internal examinations), making diagnosis, reporting it to my immediate senior at the ER and making sure that all of my clerks are doing their job. at 10pm i was asked by dra. Cha to be the first assist at a CS (cesarian section) of a single footling breech. i was nervous. but she taught me well. she even gave me the task to close the operation leaving me and the clerk (as my assist). she gave her full trust in me that i would be able to close it without dehiscence. for that i was so proud.
i didnt had any sleep, not even a single minute power nap. at around 6:30AM i was pulled out of the ER to accompany dra. Santos to make rounds of our 50 in-patints. i was tasked to examine every patient, write down at the charts while dra. is busy doing discharge IE to "may go home" patients. however my orders in the charts are limited to those who are obviously for discharge and doesnt need any interventions whatsoever, since i dont have an item yet and im not relatively started yet with my pre-residency. it was a long 2 and a half hours of my life. what made it even more tasking is that the clerk in-charge at the wards, didnt had the laboratories pasted on the charts which should have been done earlier so it would be easier for me to discharge patients. during my clerkship days its an instant demerit. but its the clerk's 1st week rotation at OB so basically they may just be adjusting.
at around 9:30 we finished our rounds and our chief resident allowed us to go home early to prepare for the oathtaking. i went home with all of my muscles aching. when i arrived home, i took off all my closed, slumped in my bed, and went to a power nap. until my nani called me up saying he's all ready to leave the house for my oathtaking. HALA! i was late. i immediately had a bath, beautified myself, and drive off at our meeting place.
B. OATHRAKING
12:30 nana and I met at harbour square. i was still in dazed but i felt i look good. di ba nani? hehehe. sobrang awa ng nani sakin coz i havent eaten thats why he bought Jollibee and let me ate in the car. sobrang maalaga ang hon. after eating we went to PICC to look for a parking. while nearing the place, we saw hundreds of people lined up outside the blistering sun, basking in the heat. my nani burst out (tangna! anu ba yan!). nahiya tuloy ako sa nani ko coz i know he hates the sun. nana brought his kenneth cole jacket for me to use but hardly did coz of the heat. anyway, we got inside PICC but since the inductees and visitors where put in separate places, my nani was forced to play "staker" taking pictures of me in about few hundred feets away (if only i had my nikon camera already). ang likot likot ko daw sbi nya, even from afar he was able to see how uncontented i was sitting four rows in front. i was chit-chatting, taking pictures, laughing, making fun of people. all that nani was able to see. the whole time i was chatting with my frends, me and nai was exchanging texts, making kulet with him as well. if you ask me i dont remember anything with ceremony. all that i could remember was us making fun of the parents of the top 10 examinees. we were able to assess whether they came from a well-to-do family or from those humble families.
after the ceromy we were told that we could get our lisence card at the lobby. and since i was so wise enough, i wasnt able to bring my claim stub. so after the quick picture taking with friends, i told my hon that id like us to go out na since it was like a pandemonium inside and i was starving to death. hon wanted us to have a dinner buffet, but i told hime we could eat at anywhere non-fancy coz syempre mahal din un and talo kme sa buffet coz di naman ako madami kumain except if its rice. kaya ako tumaba ng ganto dahil sa rice. hehehe.
nani kept asking me if i had second thoughts of him joining me at the ceremony. he felt so undeserved coz most of the inductees brought their parents and family, i brought my boyfriend instead. he wanted me to stay longer at PICC with my friends but i opted to be with him and leave early. dami hang-ups ng nani ko. hehehe. actually, i really felt so proud i was with my boyfriend. i told him that all my life i was with my parents, they were there with all of my graduation ceremony from kinder to medskul. right now is a new life for me as a doctor and as a professional, i just felt it right to have my husband be part of my new beginning. i was proud of my husband coz unlike any other boyfriend, he wants to be there in every step that i make. unlike any other boyfriends, my husband never makes any alibi coz he cant come, whenver i ask him to be with me he would always commit on that date (unless if its really toxic for him, which i really understand). i know it was sunday and he should be resting in the house and sleeping but he made his way to be with me. i may not have my parents during that very eventful time but being with him made it more special coz it is a time where i officially create a new life for me and for my hon. eventhough my parents werent there, i didnt really missed them coz i felt they were there, coz my nani acted like one. he wanted me to pose for every nook and cranny of the entire PICC, he got mad with me soaking wet from perspiration, he even put a towel at my back (talk about me being a baby), daig pa tlaga ng nani ang mga magulang ko. hehehe. like my parents, my hon wanted everything that is best for me and i appreciated it very much. it was a boring ceremony but hon and i made it fun. we always have fun when were together. it has already been 7 months but we still enjoy each other's company.
in this age and time, its really hard to find someone whom you can have fun with and stay with without having to fear that it might just be temporary. with my hon, i feel like we're to last a lifetime. the way he sees me with his eyes, his kiss, his hugs always make me feel like were meant for each other. eventhough i havent slept, i look haggard and all, he always sees me as the most beautiful person. thanks hon. No words could ever describe how lucky i am and blessed to have him as my husband, but all i know is that i love him with all my heart and soul. nothing can ever stop me from loving you hon. i look forward to our future and our lives together.
you are my light, my strength, my everything. i love most dearly with all my life.
