The Diary of a Young Man

I woke up at 4am. It is another day of duty. I reached school at 5:25am. We left school by the school bus at 5:40am. I do not worry about the doctor some had said been too strict and very loud. We reached comembo lying-in at around 6:15am. We had our things placed on the 3rd floor. We have no conference room instead we had a little place there for all of us. The first group who will go under labor includes me that’s why I had changed my uniform to the delivery room uniform. The rest bought foods for our break fast. After 30 minutes, they arrived with break fast. I ate tapsilog. It costs 35 pesos but worth the price.

The rest of my group mates have patient assignments who they will take vital signs and etc. I have no patient since I belong to the first group to handle a labor in comembo. In the afternoon, Greeenwich and chowking representatives arrived on the third floor both offering menus for our lunch. I ordered pork chao fan and chicken ala king but when the time came that they had our orders mine was not available or my order was mistaken for the other. My classmates who did not order any food from their menu goes outside to buy their lunch in andoks. I took the chance and asked Arra to buy me a pork chop from andoks. They returned with pork chops and  liter of coke. The food was ok but not the best. It costs me 74 pesos. Anyway, while I eating a patient got in ready for delivery. I was shocked from seeing that event. I have no choice but to leave my lunch and proceed to the delivery room. I reached the delivery room where I was assigned as cord care. The doctor was in and she was loud talking to her staff.

I do not like the manner the doctor is talking to her staffs and patients. It is as if she holds their lives and treats them like her slave. I was a bit terrified with that scene. She looks like cruela devile of 101 dalmatians and I cannot take her attitude. I wonder if she will do anything verbally assaulting to me. The only verbalization I got from her was about the cotton balls being to many and my shoes that do not look washable enough. I guess it is because my shoes doesn’t look white enough. Once I received the baby from the assist, I was shaking as I do oil bath, cord care and injection of vitamin K. I was ashamed that my tremors are showing badly. I was experiencing moderate anxiety. After everything was done, the baby was taken up to the third floor with the mother. The baby was taken by Love Joy. Anyway, when I reached the third floor I talked to mam about how bad the doctor looked inside the delivery room. The assist or attending cleaner there had tasked the girls on our subgroup to carry things that shouldn’t be taken cared of. I am glad it is over. I changed my clothes once the clock trke 12:45pm. When I finished changing my attire, I fixed my things for departure. The service arrived at 1:15pm. We are expecting to leave at 1:30pm. Mam delos santos had done insp[ection of patients before leaving the clinic. We met some global students and mam delos santos spoke of something funny but for that global student she carried it seriously. We laughed inside the van as it leaves at 2:00pm. We had our laughs about what had happened earlioer about the global student. Leslie also talked about the impartment of knowledge of one of the students there. I cannot remain inside the van long because I reached my final destination. I left the van at market! market! I took a taxi that costs me 80 pesos. Everything was well when I reached the house. I started doing my concept map and nursing care plans at 2:00pm. I finished at 6:00pm. I was so slow but not sure finishing it. hahaha.

I had took my sibling’s blood pressure at around 7pm. I cannot believe that my stethoscope doesn’t satisfy my hearing pleasures. I guess I need to buy a more functional one or it is just me who is wrong. Anyway, the weird thing I got from the blood pressure taking was my 2nd to the eldest brother. He got a blood pressure of 110/100. I repeated it twice and got the same result. He was sleeping at that time and I was expecting the gap beween the diastolic and systolic pressure would be more that 10.

I also chat with my good friend Hazel, a former high school classmate for 2 years and still a good friend in real life. She reveals to me a beautiful chinese pop music. It is entitled in english as love and honesty. I played the video in youtube and it is definitely good to hear. I played it repetitive times. I love how the sound emitted by the movement of the second hand of clock goes along with the beginning and last part of the song. If only I know mandarin therefore I can take the meaning of the song at heart. I read a lot of excellent remarks about that song. I know it looks good since the music video depicts love and sacrifice and obviously HONESTY!

I will be eating a little bit late maybe at 8:45pm. My brother is the one cooking for us. He knows how to cook well and I seriously believe he can be a good chef someday. I hope he won’t spoil our dinner. My father will be getting home kind a late in the evening. I need unifporms tomorrow so I firmly believe he will arrive at least 9:30pm. We will be having duty tomorrow and it will be on comembo still the good thing is that the doctor who attended our group earlier will not be the one attending tomorrow. It is certainly good news for future groups.

Good night
