Damn, time sure flies... (but it seems to drag on forever when you're toxic)
It's been more than a month an a half since my last blog entry...
I'm not sure what to write down, given that I'm always toxic and I don't have the luxury of time to write down everything that comes to mind..
Let me just say that I'm all praises for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. They're very nice people, from the consultants to the residents, and even the current group of OB interns (who became close friends with our group).
Gynecology, our first rotation when we got back to UST, was kinda shaky for me. I really had a hard time adjusting to the more OC system in UST because it was SOOOO different from the workman's simplicity that we experienced in Fabella. On the plus side, it was there where I was able to handle my first patient, and I even got a free lunch for being a good boy. Hehehe.
But seriously, I was REALLY grateful that her family gave me the food when they did, 'coz it was pushing 1pm already and I haven't even had BREAKFAST yet.. I was damn near the state of total collapse when I recieved that gift (of food) which I will remember for the rest of my days.. Thank you Ma'am Agnes, you taught me a very valuable lesson in patient care and love for one's work...
Moving on to our 1-month stint with OB, it was the first time we were gonna be working with 8A, the other half of our clerkship group. It turned out to be a pleasant stay, as we worked pretty well as a unit (considering all the different hitches we encountered along the way). Too much happened in OB foe me to mention at this time, seeing as I have to prepare a report before I go on duty again tomorow. =( But let me just say that I'm also grateful to the OB-GYN consultant and resident staff foer making our 1 1/2 months stay there a very valuable learning experience. Despite all the toxicity and the poor accomodations (the OB Batcave), I really learned A LOT, expecially from OB.
Surgery was up next, we moved up last June 16, and we made the transition kinda smoothly I guess.. my present post is OPD/ER, which means that we man the ER on Duty days and take care of things at the OPD when we aren't (yes, even if you're FROM DUTY, kasi walang From status ang Surgery...).
I'll leave things at that for now. I have to get at least part of this stupid report done before I go to bed... sigh...
I guess that's enough
