Ice Cream Man

07/21
Got in the hospital by past 1 pm. So hot. Everyone was complaining. Was diaphoretic due to excessive heat. Ate ice cream. Waited to have a case. None. Shouted when ice cream man returned. Ice cream man was speaking in English. Sosyal. Had another round of ice cream. Planned to review for prelims and read a few pages of Atonement. Fail. Wasn’t able to concentrate well. By night, the sky was giving us a spectacular show. But it didn’t rain. Got home by past 9 pm. Bus arrived at hospital late.

07/22
Planned to review. It was not as hot as the other day. But definitely not my type of weather. Wasn’t able to review because we had a case. Finally. Just got in the delivery room and put my gloves in time. Was able to see how a baby is delivered. Was surprised. Pregnant woman was primigravida. Delivered baby so fast! People in the room were surprised too. Provided cord care to the baby. Injected baby with Vitamin K, intramuscularly. Done APGAR scoring. Another student from another school almost cut the cord without clamping. Freakish. She thought she was holding the clamp. Good thing her CI was able to stop her in time. Spent time inside the DR for 1.5 hours. Ate liempo for dinner. So delicious. Left hospital earlier that usual.

Freaky Wednesday

I’m lazy to write everything. Forgive me, just check the context clues and you’ll understand me. Haha.

Woke up early yesterday. Left home just in time. Got stuck in a heavy traffic. Unexpected. Turns out to be because the first day of classes for the grade school pupils in the school my sister attends. 30 minutes before call time, still stuck. Got nervous because late = excuse slip. Texted my Clinical Instructor if I could go alone to the hospital without going to school. She said okay. Great. I’ve got there first. Waited for about 45 minutes for the school buses to arrive. Turns out the call time was delayed for 30 minutes from the original call time. Haha. Filipino time. Should have gone to school. Argh! The orientation was crazy. Boarded the school bus. Bus was full of senior students I barely know. They’re friendly. They offered us food. Didn’t accept. Day was freaky and crazy!
