The Neurologist, The Pianist

Friday, February 15th, 2008

At this very moment, our Pediatric Neurologist is downstairs in the hospital lobby playing the piano. His music is heard all throughout the hospital. He’s very good and plays a variety of OPM love songs. Usually, he plays for the “Doktora” Dr. Fe del Mundo, who listens romantically with Dr. Pe-Benito as he plays her these enchanting music.

Do I know You? I Think so!

I’m on duty at the moment and writing this blog in the Training Office. In my area, I already have one admission, a Kawasaki Disease patient, 7 years old female and is waiting for the IVIg to be delivered. The IV-Ig alone, the whole set costs around P240T. What a way to get sick right? Tough luck!

Anyways, as I was checking on the patient, in the room, there’s this guy who was staring at me, he’s the uncle of the patient. Then he greeted me with all smiles and asked me how I was, I’m sure I know this guy as he’s face is very familiar. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, even from the data of the patient, I really can’t remember who this guy is. All I know is, he’s my classmate in med school and that’s it. Hehehe Sorry, talagang hindi ko maalala eh, good thing magaling akong mag pretend hahahaha

Cigarette plus skin equals UGLY!

I’ve always said that it’s futile to tell smoker how bad this vice does with one’s body. Why? Because they won’t listen to me, a doctor. Heck, there are lots of physicians who smoke right? Yeah! Anyways, with guys, I guess, nothing to worry except for COPD, and cancer. Hmmm, not that major of a problem right, besides it will take years of smoking before one feels the symptoms right? RIGHT! Good luck! Now how about the ladies, those steaming hot fresh young bodies with soft and beautiful skin, how about them? Well, it will all boil down to UGLINESS. Nah! Most of them will say, they can always go to Dr. Belo for that. Yeah right! Again! But then, that’ll be artificial beauty! Well, that’s just me, I don’t like FAKE beauty, never really appreciated a boob job that doesn’t sag to the sides when the hot chick is laying on bed.

Hmmmm hehehe parang bao ng nyog nyahahahaha! Tapos biglang nagkaron ng dimples sa cheeks, but look closer, that’s the umbilicus STUPID! Nyahahaha sa sobrang lifting and tummy tuck, ayun hahahaha. Di bale, kaming mga duktor naman ang yumayaman, ok lang! Though, I won’t like it if someone I love would do it. Syempre parang iba na right? What do you think?

Tired? Quit? Hmmm, makes me think!

OH SHYET! I miss being a BUM! I miss the relaxing moment! I miss the time when I don’t have to think about tomorrow. SHYET NA MALAGKET! I miss it when I don’t have to think, when everything just pops out in the knoggin!

Someone inside me keeps on pushing me to quit, but that’s not me. I never quit, and I’m proud to say it. The Schizo in me is acting up again and I like it. But, can I take it for 3 years? Hmmmm, mixed feelings, can I take this every three days of duty, can I take it not to be with my loved ones that often? But to push myself for a better professional growth is the foundation that stops me from throwing in the towel.

Stuart Little says that “there’s always a silver lining”! Yeah! I know! But getting there is not that easy. That “growth” that I’m talking about is the only thing that keeps me from quitting and nothing else. I guess, that “nothing else” adds to the burden. Nothing to push me forward. The work and the patients surely does not push me. It frustrates me more. But then again, three years should not be that long, or is it?

Am I going crazy? Well, self assessment, HELL NO! Nyahahaha! I’ve been crazy and will always be and so, what’s there to be crazy about? Hmmm, lam ko meron but…..
