The UST Surgery Department were selling Wolverine tickets the past few weeks. It's for their special screening last night at Trinoma. Fundraising siya for their medical mission this summer. I was suppose to go there with my sister since our resident sold me 2 tickets. I thought it would be a good way to bond with her na din since we seldom get to see each other because of my schedule.
Earlier that day, I gave her the tickets. I told her to be at Trinoma earlier than the screening time so she could reserve good seats for us. 6 pm yung screening. She was there around 4 pm. I didn't imagine na toxic kami kahapon. Nagulat na lang ako when we were called to be at UST earlier than 7 am. Wala palang mga interns. So, we ended up scrubbing in their operations. Ok naman yung mga OR, until my patient's OR was deferred. Mataas kasi yung BP. 150/100 ang highest. He's just 7 years old. Instead of OR, I ended up doing his labs and paperworks. Yesterday, I realized that the hardest thing in clerkship is not the errands or the paper works. It's the referrals. Hindi mo alam kung ano ang itatanong sayo ng mga residente. Since bata pa ang patient, I had to refer him sa pedia. Then pedia referred the patient to pedia nephro. So bagong presentation. Nangarag ako sa mga questions. Bagong labs. Then referred na naman siya sa pedia..Pedia nutrition. Doon ako nadali. At 5 pm, kung kailan uwian na dapat, nagprepresent ako sa resident. The bad news pa, e dinemand niya ang mga paperworks and diet computations by 6 pm the same day. Patay kung patay. I called my sister to tell her na maghanap na lang siya ng papalit sa akin. Sa totoo lang, I was kinda bad trip. I was really looking forward to spending time with her. Ang thing pa e, wala siyang masyadong friends dito. Ang ending? Nanood siya mag-isa. Umuwi siya mag-isa din. I wasn't able to pick her up after the movie.
By 6 pm last night I approached the resident again and informed her that I wouldn't be able to finish the things she wants me to submit. She told me na dapat first thing in the morning meron na siya. By that time start na ang movie. Hay. Bad trip din ako last night dahil by 12, hindi pa ako tapos sa mga referrals, requests and paperworks.. Ang daming labs na kailangan i-carry out. Maghahating gabi na nagrerefer pa ako ng same patient sa radio. Siguro hindi ko pa masyado nahahanda yung sarili ko sa situation na last minute nacacancel ang mga plans mo kapag doctor ka na. Any minute pwede kang tawagan, in the middle of a date or a movie, pwedeng may patient na magcode or mangailan ng labs.
As of the moment my sister is still not talking to me. My patient is still hypertensive. We still don't kow why, but we're getting there. I like to believe that we're ne step closer to finding out why. Hay.
Basically, I'm just ranting. I'm just tired. La lang. Pauwi pa lang ako to get some sleep. Parang hindi holiday. Imbes na magliwaliw, matutulog ako. Duty pa ako bukas. =(
