..Back from the Grave…

…HI GUYS!….

…i can’t believe a hadn’t written a single entry in four months ….whew!….did you miss me?…i hope so…

anyway,…am back from the depths of the grave from which i’ve buried myelf into for the last few months…why?…i don’t know…i guess i have just been preoccupied with a lot of things…things to do, things i shouldn’t do, things am forced to do…and i guess that also includes things am not supposed to do ever but did it anyway….hehehe…i really wouldn’t want to elaborate more on that..

well, the last topic we talked about was my hospital training i did earlier this year….actually it started late last year…November exactly….and so it was…

Starting my training was a bit difficult…mainly because it was my first time ever to actually work in a tertiary hospital with a couple of thousand  bed capacity…(ok, just kidding…actually its only an 800 bed capacity hospital BUTTT….you’ll be amazed at how the hospital staff can transform it into  3x more the maximum capacity…..miracle?…nope,just plain insanity)….i remember i had this exciting-bordering-on-fear-that-i-might-kill-someone-on-my-first-day kind of emotions…but i had no choice..i had to start someplace right?….right.

Our program started with a 3 day orientation seminar…giving us a bird’s eyeview of the entire hospital set-up…rules,regulations,who’s in charge, who’s not in charge…etcetera2x…the Speakers were extra careful not to scare us  with their true to life clinical experiences but failed miserably..i remember thinking am going to hand out my resignation letter the next day…

But i didn’t of course,…i mean..who the hell gives up on the first day???!!!…certainly not me…am going to war…might as well enjoy it….so i did…and more.

 After the orientation, we proceeded to the actual clinical area….that meant real procedures, actual patients, active diseases, and not so charming doctors….we had to do everything on our own without clinical instructors to give us grades or evaluation reports(although we are evaluated at some point by the head nurses of our area)…still we had to basically perform everything on our own. 

To sum it up….it was fun…and i have a couple of interesting stories to tell…some may shock you…some maybe quite repulsive if not totally and blatantly horrific…some are unethical…some stories are inspiring(well,it inspired me)…and some can move you in more ways than one.
