My stand on vaccination

I'll keep this short and simple, because I really don't have the time right now, and making lengthy arguments just for the sake thereof never got nobody anywhere anyway..

It's just sad to see all these people (In supposedly "progressive"America at that) taking a hard line stance against vaccination, citing various principles like "freedom of choice" and whatnot..

I'm a physician, so I guess my stand would be pretty obvious.

Personally, I think they already have too much freedom on their hands, that's why they come up with mind-numbingly radical ideas such as this.. and the sad thing is, they furiously cling to their beliefs like someone insulted them to their very core..

The world has become such a hostile place.. Sigh.. -_-

Ten Minutes

Yup, ten minutes. That's the amount of time I've decided to set for myself to write down this blog entry.

For the record, it just turned 5:55PM here on my computer, so I'll just work with that.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas and New Year's has gone by with barely a snippet from my blog, which is unusual considering my annual retrospectives and my need to let off steam every once in a while..

Well, here I am, at home again, unemployed, but with more direction in my life as compared to the situations I found myself in the past.

The aforementioned transition went by as smoothly as possible (in my opinion), and now the juniors have finally stepped up to the plate to claim their place as the captains for 2015.. I'm so proud..

Wow, 5 minutes already? maybe I should make this 15 minutes.. anyway..

It's actually been quite busy these past few weeks. I'm presently (finally) studying for the diplomate examinations, which in hindsight should have been started a few months earlier, but what the heck..

At least I was able to accomplish stuff during the past weeks, like secure my clearances from the hospital and city hall (local government kasi eh), got my diplomas, and paid for the examination. AS expected, I will hunker down for the remaining days, hoping to cram 3 years' worth of knowledge into my little brain in the hopes of passing the exam..

Oh, not to mention all the little trips to be interspersed in between, like a few trips back to the hospital to secure recommendation letters from the consultants for my fellowship applications, and to secure the final clearance as well..

Oops! Times up!
