Sweet Disposition: Morbid thought a while ago... →
superbenedict:
Morbid thought a while ago while crossing Taft Avenue: What if a bus crashes on one of the posts supporting the LRT just below the Padre Faura and Taft Avenue intersection? And what if there were two trains in both sides of the tracks at that very moment, and both of them were derailed because of…
I must have my self checked. I was randomly browsing Tumblr pages and read...

“I-TAE MO LANG! Ganyan ka tumae ate, sa leeg mo nilalabas?”
– A certain OB-GYN resident, to a 19-year old primigravid on active labor for 8 hours and counting, at the Labor Room of the PGH. I was stifling my laughter and struggling to contain myself from covering my airway because fact was, the woman was actually following instructions: she was pooping then...

Of Doctors And Nurses
It was my first time to be called nurse yesterday, by a post-partum mother I had just finished monitoring at the recovery room of the LR-DR.

After I gladly...

“So nanay, ifi-finger ko na po kayo…”
– me (the polite version of)
Good thing Demo-Return Demo lang siya. Kasi si Ma’am eh, sabi niya, “Kung minsan ‘yung iba, ang itatanong sa’yo ‘I-fifinger niyo na ba ako dok?’”

“Don’t be indifferent. Have a stand. Kung tayo pa ang magiging indifferent...”
– Dr. Rosiebel Esguerra (OB-GYN), somewhat paraphrased, when I said “indifferent” in reply to her inquiring about our stand re the ongoing Corona Trial.

Gong Xi Fa Cai
So a handful of my Intarmed friends and I had planned to go to Binondo for the Chinese New Year to grab us some tikoy and other authentic Chinese delicacies, as well as join in the festivities. We had already set a date since Friday, and since the Monday had been declared a special holiday, it was the perfect timing for a detox/pretox adventure.
However, came Monday, I wasn’t able to join...
