pre-sembreak jitters

two more weeks and still a ton of exams and requirements to go and we're so done with the semester! i seriously need thorough detox (or stresstabs). konting tiis na lang friends malapit na ang sembreak. i could practically taste sembreak already (yum yum).

leader ako? wtf.

for the first time in my whole pathetic college life, i was chosen to lead a group. what were they thinking?! gawd. seriously, either napagtripan or wala ng mapiling iba. i go for the latter. heller! groupmates walang sisihan ha. you know i can't handle too much responsibility. i'll try. but i'm not promising anything. :) goodluck sa presentation natin sa para 10N sa tuesday. hihihi.

Nursecissm

last Friday. every other batch presentation looked mediocre compared to the seniors'. ours? nvm. it wasn't sucky. but nvm. Hands to Cholo- Best Actor. woohoo! proud kami sa'yo.

till we meet again, Ward 10

Ward 10 was one helluvan experience. major toxicity. major everything. i had two patients, both on their late 20's. heaven knows why all the shy patients are assigned to me(we're supposed to have random assignments). both didn't want to have their breasts examined. kainis. the second one, really sure of her sexuality. i thought she was just tomboyish but then again...oops client confidentiality...

On our last day in the Ward, i was able to bathe one of the patients with Mae. major bathing experience pare. he was a he. and he had us sweating like crazy. my hair was a total mess (messier than usual) afterwards. and my energy was down to nil. if you're asking why, our patient was an 18-yr-old tubby boy post-op with fresh stapled and still slightly bleeding stitches from the left mandible to the ribs. it was real scary. i wanted to faint. but then again regained composure. ethics thing. we were really, really careful not to hurt him or move him too much because the staples looked like they readily pop out when provoked. i may get sued for medical malpractice, oh no. anyways, scrub scrub and we're done. we just had to repeat the scrubbing several times though because the layer of dead epithelia was so thick that one scrubbing wasn't enough. still scarier was the shampooing part. there was too much movement involved.
