Bittersweet

God DO answer prayers!

I've been spared!!! And most of us! We get to stay..at least for now. Dunno what can happen in the coming months. Anything is possible to happen! But still! Happy happy! However, my friend is not as lucky as we are. He's transferring hospital and unit. I feel sad for him cause I know he likes OR very much! He likes it more than I do. And he kinda got settled already somehwere near the hospital. He will not only be leaving OR, but also his home. I really feel sad. I do hope its only temporary...

Today is another historical day for us in the operating room. We had the most number of cases today so far..nine! plus one stat! It was a crazy morning shift! Takbo dun! takbo dito!  Unfortunately, I wasnt given a case. Instead I was assigned to man the equipment room and do inventory. Tapos, ako na din pinag inventory ng consumable items namin kasi yung naka assign dun maysscrub! So basically I did inventory the whole shift and paper works. Carry naman, kaso parang nakaka inggit hindi ako kasama sa ka toxic an! Me and my other shift mate were joking. Pang stat dw kami. Stat ex lap, yun dw ang magiging case namin. TIla nagdilang anghel kami, nagka stat nga kaso cast removal lang wahahahah. Tapos siya kinuha para mag circ. AT sakin niya inendorse yung CSS inventory! Ang saya saya tlaga...


But even though I wasnt part of the cases, I felt proud of my co staffs. Kahit ano pang sabihin, nagsisimula plang talaga kami. Kung kaya't ang malampasan namin ang araw na ito, isang malaking achievement na rin yun! Cant wait for more cases to come! OR peeps, Lets rock n roll!!

after pm

yesterday we hanged out at greenbelt til 3am after our pm duty. we were supposed to catch the last full show of alice in wonderland. but unfortunately when we got there the lfs was already full! only four seats left!! (we were five) and the seat were all apart ( ang lungkot nmn nun!so we opted to just hang out for awhile just not to waste our effort going there. we ate at cafe breton ( yey! one of the places i wanted to try!) we ordered crepes but unfortunately, i didnt get to enjoy mine much since after eating half of my crepe i started to get tired of the taste. mas mganda cguro for sharing! but i would definitely go back there..in time! =) we planned to have coffee afterwards but we all seemed to get full with the crepes. we just stayed there talking till we all felt it was time to go home. ohh freedom! it was a nice nice feeling ( bt not so nice i think when my parents knew!) that i got to have a little independece when im here at fort! hihihi. more to come! cheers to freedom! =)

sad sad sad

Me feeling a bit sad lately. Me might transfer unit. Me might transfer division. Me might transfer hospital!

Im feeling very happy and satisfied with my workplace. Sometimes I couldn't even believe that I am where I am right now because work doesn't feel like work. I couldn't help thinking that I am so blessed and I couldn't think why I deserved such blessings.

Then now this.

I really dont want to whine about it, since nothing is final yet. But my gut feeling tells me it will happen. I know this is just a challenge, but this might be my biggest challenge! If I do transfer unit, or division, or hospital, I will not only be giving up many things that makes me happy but also I will have to adjust all over again. Which I am not that good at. I will have to start loving what I do, which is not that easy. *sigh*

Please, please, let me stay! Spare me, spare us.

OR updates :)

Mahigit dalawang buwan na mula ng nagbukas ang aming ospital. Ayos naman, dahil paunti unti nagkaka kaso na kami. Dumadami na. Halos araw araw may kaso na kami, yun nga lang minsan pa isa isa o kaya pa dalawa dalawa! At sa dami naming OR nurses, talagang hati hati sa gagawin. Ang mga senior dapat magbigay sa mga junior na sila na muna ang makapag scrub para matuto din. Maswerte ako kasi nakak ilang kaso na rin ako. Nakapito na ata ako samantalang yung iba isa pa lang ata. Tinatakda lang rin naman kami sa aming trabaho kung kaya't hindi ko kasalanan yun kung bakit ako ang laging naka deck! Defensive? He He.

Kanina nabigyan ako ng pagkakataong makapag 1st scrub sa isang minor case lang. Wound debridement and wound suturing. Ang sarap ng feeeling kasi syempre ako yung first tapos ang chill lang nun atmosphere. Tamang kaba lang nun nagsimula yung kaso. Tapos ang 2nd scrub ko pa ay yung kaibigan ko kaya no pressure, tulungan kaming dalawa talaga.

Mga ganung kaso kasi ang gusto ko. Yung mga instruments ay yung normal lang! He He! Nun isang araw, ako ay nag assist sa Arthroscopic ACL. Nakuuu po! Sakit sa ulo nung mga instruments. Ako dapat ang 1st scrub pero dahil yun yung first ortho case ko at first video assisted case ko din, halos dumugo ilong ko sa mga gamit. Buti na lang kasama ko yung hospital tech namin at siya na ang nag take over. Thank God...pero hindi fulfilling yung pakiramdam. PArang ang useless ko nun kasi mostly observe ang nagawa ko.... Pero thankful din ako at ako ang nalagay dun at least nakita ko na pano gingawa yun. May idea na ako, next time hindi ako clueless. May super bloopers din akong nagawa during that case. Mejo horror kasi yung surgeon na nag opera. Bigtime itong doctor na ito dahil siya ang pinakamagaling at pinkamabilis gumawa ng ACL. Kilala din siya sa OR dahil panay babae ang gusto niyang scrub (at sikat siya dahil lagi niyang tinatanong sa scrub niya kun virgin pa ito) Anyway, ang super bloopers ko ay kasi ang doktor na ito ay kaparehas niya ng apelido yung manager namin, at nun tinanong niya sa akin kung kilala ko ba siya, sabi ko withouth any hesitation, ang pangalan ng manager namin! At hindi pa dun nagtatapos, binubulong na sakin nun hospitalist yun pangalan, mali pa yun dinig ko. Buti na lang good mood si doc that day. Takot ko nun mali yun nasabi ko. Ewan ko ba bakit yun din ang nasabi ko! waah! sobrang gusto ko ng mag scrub out nun. heheh. Joke of the day tuloy ako sa buong OR!

Sa amin nga pala, parang bumubuo ng mga team na kung saan ka ihahasa. Hiwalay ang cardio at optha talaga so sa OR MAIN maari kang mapabilang sa neuro, GS, ortho, uro, ent and plastic. NAis ko sana sa GS or kaya sa ENT/plastic....hindi kasi ako nakapagsulat sa papel ng preference ko..sana alng wag ortho! Ayuko don, ayoko ng mga acl, meniscectomy....pero kun titingnan sa mga naging kaso ko, baka sa ortho ako malagay!! wwaaah!

Hanggang dito na alng muna siguro..tsaka nlng ulit ako magsusulat at magtatala ng aking mga karanasan sa loob ng OR. SAna patuloy na dumami ang aming mga kaso para Rock n Roll na!! ^-^
