Panibagong rotation :)

Ang bilis ng oras… tapos na ang Pedia. Yahoo! Pardon the lack of entries about it… minsan kahit gusto ko mag-update drained na either ang physical strength ko or ang storytelling faculties ko. Hehehe. Suffice it to say that after that first week at Ward 11, Pedia wasn’t so bad. I enjoyed going on duty at the nursery where I learned how to resuscitate newborns and determine their pediatric age. Nakakatuwa talaga ang mga babies… bangag man ako pagdating ng madaling araw napapangiti pa rin nila ako. :) Ang cute cute nila…bale wala sakin ang iyak nila (sa newborns lang ‘to ha hehe). Nakakaawa lang pag hindi sila nabibigay agad sa mommy nila (dulot ng iba’t ibang dahilan), di sila napapakain agad. Kapag pre-duty day, sa Neonatal ICU (NICU) kami… pero di masyado remarkable sakin yun compared sa 24-hr nursery duty. Anyway, after nursery, Pedia ER naman. Ang saya kasi pagdating namin dun, it wasn’t its usual congested self. Dati sobrang init at crowded sa PER. Pagdating namin, m a l u w a g, as in… tsaka mas maaliwalas. Na-practice din ang skills ko dun somehow sa pag-blood extract at insert ng IV line. (Pero mahirap pa rin talaga mag-line ng bata. Eto tapos na ang pedia clerkship at sinasabi ko kailangan ko pa rin ng practice.) Enjoy din kasama yung mga nakasabay naming interns dun. :) Then for the last week, Ward 9… it wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be, because I previously had the notion that Ward 9 was more toxic than Ward 11. I had a few little boo-boos, pero at least I learned from them atsaka mabait naman ang residents ko… Mas nagustuhan ko rin ang naging decking ng trabaho kapag overnight duty, parang hindi kasing exhausting kumpara sa experience ko sa Ward 11. At na-realize kong factor lang talaga kung sino mga katrabaho mo…


Ok, so how about my past few days? Marami man ang nakawawa dahil sa bagyo at baha, hindi maikakaila na para sa isang estudyante, masaya pa rin ang mawalan ng pasok. Pasensya kung may ma-offend ^__^, pero kaya ganito rin ako magsalita ngayon kasi nung time na nagsimulang bumagyo (Tuesday night), last duty ko sa ward. Then the next day, imimeet ko dapat ang preceptor ko for my Neuro elective pero dahil sa panahon, hindi rin yun nangyari at umuwi na lang ako (by a P20 pedicab ride dahil buhay na naman ang Taft River that time). Classes were again suspended yesterday, so I got to sleep in after a long time of not being able to do so. Plus our end-of-rotation Pedia exam was re-scheduled to Monday next week. What a very nice way to end my Pedia rotation. =)


Ayun nga lang, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makausad sa elective ko. I still haven’t met my faculty preceptor, who’s supposed to check if the learning objectives I came up with are ok. And I need her input in terms of fixing my schedule. Four weeks ang elective…di yata biro ang gumawa ng sked. Well ngayon, I have 3 ½ weeks remaining. I spent practically the whole day today inside the Neuro clerks’ callroom, studying and waiting for any update from my resident monitor-slash-mediator. Ganun ba talaga kahirap hagilapin si Ma’am? I just hope they don’t reprimand me and say I should have coordinated with them earlier. Nagparamdam naman ako sa department two weeks before, then tinext ko yung resident one week before. He said I should be prepared to discuss my personal objectives with Ma’am before my elective rotation. But when I asked for a time to meet with her, Wednesday rin pala ang bagsak (yes, that stormy day). Kung policy man na dapat way earlier ko pa ‘to ginawa, they should have emphasized it. Nagawa ko na ang part ko. I hope this doesn’t spoil my learning experience and my effort to appreciate Neurology more (despite it being a rather unpopular subject among most of my classmates). Let’s see what happens…
