psyche out

im in a new rotation. i'll be serving in psychiatry for 1 month. for my first two weeks, i'll be in the national center for mental health in mandaluyong. it's pretty scary being there for the first time. it seems to me that anybody not in white uniform is a psycho. i was assigned in the pediatric pavilion named zonta- shangrila. zonta is the pavilion for girls and shagrila for boys. i'll be working only in shangrila though together with my partner. yesterday, i was assigned in the out patient department and i got to examine a lot of patients with "undifferentiated schizophrenia." and i also got to do a complete physical exam in a patient who was for admission. scary. really. physical exam for a mentally challenged person is different. i have to work behind my patient for security purposes- to avoid being spitted/kicked/punched. today, i'll be on my first duty. i may be assigned in the ER or the ACIS (dont ask me what it stands for. i dont know either. what i know is that those patients who were previously seen in the ER and are for admission are placed there first). i just wish my partner and i will have the same post. and hopefully go home alive tomorrow. hehe

Sig:
uminom ng isang tableta para sa reaksyon sa gamot katulad ng pagrorobot, paglalaway, at paninigas ng panga.

px: doc, ayoko ng inumin yan. nagrorobot ako e. ang hirap maglaba pag
nagrorobot.
me: (i can only imagine. laughs)

there's more to come.

JOKE TIME!!!!

halleluiah!!!wala akong dengue. i do have pharyngitis though and hypersensitivity reaction due to my varicella vaccine (kaya ako may fever). after i got the result, i invited ate noreen (who had been so kind to accompany me to the hospital and waited till i got the lab results) to celebrate with me. kumain kami ng kumain hanggang sumuko na yung mga sikmura namin. hehehe. that stashed out a big amount of my allowance. pero ok lang. at least i've enjoyed even if i'm now broke.

when i got home, my temperature was 38.7 centigrade. i had pharma exam the following day (which is actually today) and i was able to study just this morning. buti na lang hindi ganun kahirap yung exam.

let's all be happy.

it's joke time!

in a game show, the host asked the contestant to spell 'happy birthday.'

C: H-A-P-P-Y--B-I-R-T-H-Y

LET'S SING IT!

happy birthy to you/happy birthy to you/
happy birthy happy birthy/ happy birthy to you//

whahahaharharhargh

things i realized today

1. mahirap magkasakit pag- toxic.
2. mas mahirap pag hindi lang isa ang sakit mo.
3.. mas lalong mahirap pag may sakit ka na, may pasok ka pa. . . kahit sabado.
4. nakakbwiset makinig ng am radio pag- umaga. puro sentationalism maririnig mo.
5. damn, i hate those politicians! can't they understand? what we need now is UNITY.
6. matigas ang mga ulo nila kaya ayaw makinig.
7. puro pansarili lang concern nila.
8. wala silang kwenta
9. corny mga doctors. especially the older ones. mag- joke ba naman ng 'describe ike lozada - large, circular, and with wrist drop' (as in bading) whahaha. walang kwenta.
10. nagbago na si elaine. marunong na syang magmura.

i rode a jeep that has a sign hanging at the end of the rope (yung hinihila pag papara ka.) that reads,

'hila mo, i- stuff ko'

harharhar

in a game show... the host asked the 2 contestants, 'anong ibig sabihin ng E sa P.E.? one of them slapped the buzzer but didn't give any answer. as in tulala ang drama. the other one did a steal and answered,

'exercise.'

bad trip.
