The past three weeks was sort of rough to me. Both expected and unexpected things happened. And in this post, I’ll try to summarize what happened during that three weeks.
September 22. This day marks the first day of my group’s morning shift. We had a new instructor, well, just for this day. Dunno what’s the reason. I had the worst patient ever! My patient really annoyed me. My patient was already for discharge. I had to make a METHOD as part of my SOAPIE (charting)… and make sure the patient don’t get out of the hospital without paying. So… the patient was strong enough to stroll around the hospital and I was asking him to go back to his room. While following him, he told me “Bakit mo ako sinusundansundan?!” It shocked me, because I didn’t expect to be told like that. In the end, I followed his SO.
September 23. Three got late. They were not able to catch the bus. It was hilarious, it was the first time someone got late. I was the leader for the day. I didn’t handle any patient.
September 24. Ms. Bortusa didn’t get to ride the bus. LOL. She was late. My patient for the day has acute gastritis. Today was my first time to give bolus IV med. It was, uh, fun! LOL. Uh, that’s all for today. We also did records review for our case study.
September 29. My last patient for the rotation’s admitting diagnosis was Dengue Fever. But when I handled the patient, he was already fine (in my opinion). I had the chance to give another IV med. Yey!
September 30. We didn’t handle a patient to give way to our oral defense of our case study and final evaluation. The defense went well, again, in my opinion. Plus, I think I did my best… but it was the other group who produced the best case study for this rotation. I was not expecting much from my group’s case study, given the fact that two of my group mates are horrible. Hehe. But still, I felt sad about it because I gave my best, but what I gave was not enough. Yeah, whatever. As for our final evaluation, I really didn’t review anything for it, as our instructor told us not to review. It turns out it was a bit hard. But I was still able to pass it with flying colors. Haha.
Our group gave our instructor a shirt. Well, it was the girls who picked it. They were eager to buy him something. You know, they like him. LOLZ. They were also able to convince him to go with us later that evening. What did we do? Well, we had fun. We went to a karaoke bar and they sang.
October 01. I finally got back home. Good thing, it was a holiday.
October 06 and 07. Supposed to be, we don’t have any classes since our duty was over, but we had to go to school because of our make-up classes. Boo.
October 09 to 11. The dreaded finals. Sad. Micro was good. NCM was hard, I’m expecting my grade to fall. Haha. Pharacology was fine… well, it was easier than midterms.
Sorry. I feel so sabaw tonight.
