Kahapon 2-10 ako sa ER, sabi nung ROD namin masyado daw Sunday ang feeling at pakiramdam daw niya hindi kami ganon mato-toxic. Pagkalipas ng isang oras, sunod-sunod na ang dating ng pasyente kasama na dun yung stab wound patient galing sa public hospital. Nagpalipat daw sila dahil, hindi sila na asikaso dun since 4am. Dumating sila sa amin around 3pm. Napagtripan yung nasaksak, nakipagsuntukan tsaka binalikan ng saksak sa lower right flank area. Sutured na yung sugat pagdating sa ER pero maga pa, so tumawag kami ng consultant at nag-explain dun sa relatives kung ano ang dapat gawin. Ang plano ay ipa-ultrasound yung patient para malaman kung ano meron sa loob, meron man o wala kelangan ng emergency wound exploration dahil baka may natamaan na internal organ at dahil di sure kung malinis yung pinangsaksak baka pagsimulan pa iyon ng infection.
To make the story short, na-insulto yung surgery consultant namin sa Indian boyfriend ng ate nung nasaksak na patient. Ayaw nila ipa-admit yung pasyente kasi namamahalan daw sila. Kinuwestyon din nito yung consultant namin, dahil nag-explain lang naman daw bakit kelangan nila magbayad ng PF. To think na hindi naman siya (Indian BF) ang gagastos, kundi yung ate nung patient. Tinanong namin yun tita nila at sinabi nga nito na wala naman daw itutulong yung Indian boyfriend at di rin daw niya maintindihan yung pamangkin niya bakit daw kelangan pa i-konsulta sa boyfriend niya kung dapat i-admit o hindi. Eh hindi naman nga gagastos.
Inabot sila ng 2 oras sa ospital kakabago ng isip. Pumayag na, then binawi tapos ipapa-admit na daw nila ulit. Hanggang sa nag-decide sila na ilipat nalang ulit ng hospital, dun daw sa kung saan na-admit yuing Indian boyfriend ng ate ng pasyente. Nalagasan na sila ng nalagasan ng pera kakabayad sa mga charges ng iba’t ibang ospital. Yung consultant namin on the other hand, kinausap yung tita ng patient at sinabi na di naman kami namimilit na i-admit sila pero yung idea na ililipat na naman ng ospital eh mapapagastos sila, kung naipon na nila lahat ng nagastos nila eh di sana napa-admit na nila yung patiient at inihirit din ng consultant namin na ayun nga pwede niya ipakita yung credentials niya na kinukwestyon nung Indian boyfriend.
Bukod sa ER Fee nagbayad din sila ng PF na pakiramdam ko mas mataas sa usual PF ni Doc. Na-expose ako sa OPD at medyo pamilyar ako sa PF ng mga consultants namin. Lesson learned: Wag mang-insulto ng doctor kung ayaw tumaas ang PF. Lol.
Good morning Anon. :) Ang hirap ng tanong, chos. Uhm, ewan? siguro? haha

Nursing Humor
Potato Salad, Chicken Fingers and Guindaran for dinner last night at ER. There’s Roasted beef and fruit salad too last night, I wasn’t able to take a picture of it though.
I was about to ask my senior if I could buy something to eat last night when one of our consultants came.
Doc: (has 2 plastic bags) Eto pakibigay kay Mam *Chief Nurse* sa Monday. Etong isa mga pagkain.
Sir (Senior nurse): Okay Doc. Pagkain po para kanino?
Doc: Sa inyo, kayo na bahala diyan.
Lahat kami: Thanks Doc!
Tummy had a fun night because of food from the Doctor’s fellowship and general assembly last night. My budget was happy too because I saved some money.
Sana laging may fellowship mga doctors namin. Joke.
It was a perfect dream. I saw myself happy. I was happy because I was with you but then I realized that you’re not the one I want to be with in that dream. Supposedly you shouldn’t be there but you were there. I forced myself to wake up. Told myself, that was wrong and shouldn’t happen again, even in my dreams I know we can’t be together. The mere fact that I have dreamed you’re with me, made it all wrong.
It was a happy and perfect dream, but being with you, spoiled it all up. I wish that I won’t dream about you anymore. I’m happy now, whatever happened before was put into memory already. I know you’re happy and in reality we don’t talk anymore but please don’t be in my dreams. I don’t want you in there. I want someone else to be there.
Sharing the song para lahat tayo ma-LSS.
I was dancing this yesterday in my room haha.

1. Deja vu
Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.
2. Deja Vecu
Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.
3. Deja senti
Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.

5. Jamais Vu
Jamais Vu describes a familiar situation that we do not recognize. It is often considered to be the opposite phenomenon of deja vu. The observer does not recognize the situation although it is known that he has experienced it before.
6. Presque Vu
Presque Vu is very similar to the feeling in the “tip of the tongue”. When someone is ready to say something but his brain gets stuck and a word does not come out.

Dear ICU ECG MACHINE,
Consistent ka rin eh no? Kung hindi V5 ang may topak sayo yung V3 naman. Sana magbalik na ang ECG namin sa ER. Sana maayos na ASAP. Kahit topakin din yun, mas gamay ko yun at di nag-iinarte ang leads. Haha. Inabot ako ng 30 mins sa pag- ECG ng patient sa ward dahil umaarte yung V3.
Sincerly,
Lois
