MCM on strike

while i was at the OR assisting on a TAHBSO (transabdominal hysterectomy with bilaterl salphingooophorectomy), all residents, interns and clerks were paged at the auditorium. I found out after my OR that the meeting is about the contingency plan of the hospital for tom's nurses strike. the hospital needed all the manpower they could get. In effect, interns and clerks were deployed to different posts. I, being a lover of vaginas, was assigned at the DR, to be the intern/nurse, while my clerks will be under me. some of my friends, like frank, being a med tech grad was assigned at the laboratory. one of the good things that they have come up was the shifting type of schedule. Like the nurses, we are given a shift, either an AM shift or a PM shift. so that would be 12 hours of duty everyday, while our residents will be on perpetual duty. im expecting it will be hell tom. like everyone will be going bizerks over stuffs we dont actually do. well, as for us interns coming from OM, more or less we know wat to do. coz way back in OM, we were the nurses/clerks. it would be a piece of cake for us na lang. hehe. so before the strike begins here are more pics from our interns party....

one final meeting before the party

(Left-right): jester (clerkie ring bearer)hehe, louie our "escort" and behind him was glenda "muse". of course our real line-up: madam (treasurere), me (vp-internal affairs), oca (secretary), robert (president), paulo (vp-external affairs)

uwian na! after the party! mga lasing na doctor!

one of the characteristics that make up a five star doctor is being a manager. but being a manager, a doctor is different. because unlike any other managers, doctors handle, people, business and health or life all at the same time. many doctors may not be able to wholly manage these 3 aspects in their career, yet... the idea of a doctor being a manager is uncomparable. its the "worth" of being a manager that sets a doctor above all managers. MCM nurses may go on strike because of a lousy administrative policy, but its the business aspect of the managerial duties of a doctor which has never been taught in med school. Doctors need a lot more thing to learn from this aspect. yet again, its not an individual in medicine has one primary goal and that is to heal, give cure, alleviate pain. all sums up to the preservation of life.

law can make white into black and medicine can turn black into white. the problem here is when medicine tries to make law work for its purpose.

ako lang ang nagmahal

Sa aking pag-iisa, ika'y biglang lumapit
At bago ko namalayan ako'y umibig sa 'yo
Sa isang saglit akala ko'y di na wawakas
Aking mundo'y lumawak at nagpumiglas
At nangarap na parati kang kasama
Sana bawat gabi kasiping ka
Sa himbing ng tulog ko ang panaginip ko'y ikaw
At sa aking paggising ikaw pa rin ang lahat
Ilang taon akong kumapit ng pagkahigpit
Parang malinaw ang lahat kahit nakapikit
At umasa ako na lagi kang kasama
Bata't ang nais kong laging kapiling ka

[Refrain]
Ngunit tamis ng pag-ibig ay pinatatabang ng panahon
Hindi lahat ng kwento'y masayang nagwawakas
At bago ko namalayan di mo na ko kailangan
At ako'y muli ngayong nag-iisa

[Chorus]
Siguro nga umasa akong magtatagal
Ang init ng iyong halik
Naglahong parang panaginip
Ako lang siguro ang nagmahal
(Repeat Refrain)(Repeat Chorus)
Nagmahal... sa 'yo

i cried when a friend of mine posted his on my friendster... why does the world have this kind of songs....

VAGies! (pronounced: vahgeez)

the other day, i was lucky to watch a vaginal hysterectomy in action. its a procedure where the uterus is taken out through the vagina without the usual abdominal incision we often see in a transabdominal hysterectomy. what happens in the procedure is that, the cervix is pulled outside the vagina, an incision is made through the distal 1/3 of the cervix and the uterus is pulled from the inside. wonderful isnt it? i didn get to finish the entire operation coz i got a text that the CS that i am to assist is about to start. i dont know with vaginas and the whole female reproductive tract that amazes me, but it always is fun doing ORs with them. i think im really into OB-GYNE. hmmmm.

Last night i was on duty... i recieved a text from my bestfriend margaux, she had a dream, and in that dream of hers i wasnt the doctor, but i was the patient. she warned me to be careful. from the sound of it, i knew she had a terrible dream of me. i wasnt able to ask the details of he dream coz i ran out of load. but i hope its not a premonition or something. come to think of it, las wednesday, while driving my way to UP diliman, i was on a near crash with this stupid bus who cut my lane. my breaks were tough that i was able to get through and shout "fuck you" to the lucky driver.

Happy Birthday enzo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

today's my birthday... some of the wishes i made may have not been realized but nevertheless its one event in every year i always look forward to. three days ago, some of my friends has been greeting me in advance, and this morning everyone was like all excited. jaja kept on greeting me expecting that i would give a treat. which eventually i did. i bought an ice cream for the whole interns to eat. thanks to AR for buying it. just too bad jaja wasnt able to stay to lavish on the ice cream i bought much from her eagerness to greet me. hehe. i felt really special. i felt loved. it was then i realized that im not alone afterall. sbi ko nga sa mga friends ko na ang birthday ko katumbas ng pagsilang ni jesus, ganun sya ka special and ka-eventful. hahahaha. funny lang coz some of my friends was asking me if i revcieved a greeting from that someone. and fortunately i did. i recieved that one greeting that i have been expecting all these times. it was short i know. but it meant a lot for me. it was the grandest gift i recieved. it was the greeting that would end all greetings. hehe. i was wanting to be told that "i love you" thing but its ok... maybe it wasnt really supposed to be.

right now i have come to accept things. its my 25th birthday. i thought this year id be spending it with someone, well i guess its another year ill be sharing it alone. but im contented. there may be instances i would still feel lonely but i will carry on.

During our grand duty party at the Pedia Department. I had the greatest time with the department. They made me consider going to Pedia for my residency. hmmmm... OB pa rin. hahaha

This is my bestfriend margaux on NST (non-stress test). Her result was ok, and the baby was fine. she used to have a belly button (kasama nya ko when she opted to get one) and now all her belly have is the linea nigra and a hundred stretch marks. hahaha. i love you bestfriend. thanks for all the comforting words. i still owe you that money i know! haha

Si margarita matapos sya maitable ng dalawang naggagwapuhang lalake. hehehe

TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO GREETED ME, IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU ALL.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
