toxic week.
Now what was I saying before? That my sked was kinda hectic? Let's change the adjective to the word "TOXIC". Grabe. Super dami ko ngang makikwento...pero ito muna for now...
Flashback to Sunday. I convinced my dad na mamasyal sa Tagaytay. We went to Pink Sisters, bought these really beautiful flower-bearing plants kay Lolo (na super mura talaga) and super murang suka (Danci, you should get your share na talaga) and some kinda ube food (starts with the letter T...yun na). Went to Sonya's after to explore and buy bread. Tapos, we had dinner at this old (1985 - same age sa akin) Bulalo resto where we got really full (super sarap ng food pramis!) and took home a lot of leftovers.
Flashback to Monday. We had to shoot our presentation for Pharma where I got to play the dyosa-slash-seductress. Susme talaga. Well, we ended up with a really great video presentation, and I can just say how proud I am of my groupmates. :)
Flashback to the whole week. Super init grabe. Nakakapagod. I barely got time to read my books. Kasi naman, I usually sleep pag-uwi ko. It was also a week of food splurge. We ate a lot at this food booth in school na super expensive. Ok lang naman kasi super sarap talaga. Tapos, we always make tambay na lang sa Red Cross office kasi most of my lunchmates are Red Cross people. They're trying to convince me into joining pero ayoko talaga. Super hectic na kasi ng sked...I don't want to fall too short of my responsibilities and priorities. Mahirap na.
Now to today, Saturday. I sort of spent the whole day at school for some PD thing coz we still haven't finished doing the neuro exam for our patient. To think of it, this is like the 3rd day we visited him (not counting the number of times per day). Sabi nga nung nasa ward, ang sipag daw namin. Talaga.
But still, I'm kinda enjoying this PD stuff we're doing now. I'm learning lots of new things. Plus we go to the wards pa na super much awaited event ko. This is for real nga naman kasi. I'm actually thinking of getting my shots na. Mukhang kailangan na. Tapos may malaria thing pa ngayon sa may Antipolo. Scary.
Now back to the Neuro ward story. I saw a person who's close to dying today. Bedmate nung patient namin. Ang weird ng experience. The patient came in this morning kasi na-stroke ata. They were manually reviving him na when we came in. There came a point (around 11am) na kung saan, the interns were checking his stats including reflexes. Akala ko he was still okay kasi he was moving nga. Pero, like I learned, movement doesn't necessarily mean the patient's okay. Kasi...blah, blah, blah (purely med stuff so I won't bother). The JI called us also to let us see the "Hoffman's sign" (Yeah...tama si Chris. Ang bingi ko...naging "flicker sign" tuloy. =p). The Hoffman's sign is usually elicited when the person has upper motor neuron lesion and according to the JI, it's quite rare to see it. O diba? Some new stuff to learn for today. When a person has the said lesion, he's usually hyperreflexive so kaya panay yung movements. Echos. Tama na ang med terms.
Sometime before lunch, that patient's relatives came in. Yung nanay, umiyak at napaupo sa floor. Natakot ata yung mga tao don so pinakuha yung BP ni nanay. Aba...kami pa ang inutusan. Ok Joey...musta naman yon? =p Si Marvin, pinatulong pa sa manual reviving. Susme. What an experience for all of us.
We spent some hours in the caf also. Naabutan kasi kami ng lunch time and siesta time ng patient namin...alangang gisingin namin diba. Nagiging fave place na ata namin ang caf ngayon kasi may airconditioner eh. Super hot kasi...pati sa wards. Kawawa nga yung patients eh. Ayon...caf time meant food temptations. Nakakataba at nakakabutas pa ng bulsa. Food splurge week talaga. :p
There was a super friendly kid sa caf today. C'mon...Pedia ward na guys. Neuro is very in-toxic-ating na. Pero enjoy pa rin. Labo. =p

Doc Woofy had this to say:
Hm...
wala lang. tagal magopen ng blog mo eh. must be my net though.
sorry kung pinasa ko senyo yung pagkuha ng bp ha, natakot ako. haha!
gah.-
nadZ had this to say:
three reasons kung bakit mabagal mag-open blog ko:
1. mabagal net connection mo
2. i'm blaming it on the snap shots feature
3. kulang ka sa patience
hehe. *peace* =p
don't worry on that bp thing. natakot din naman ako eh. hehe. thanks to joey. ;)
