Ippo has the common cold again. Around a month ago, we had to bring him to his pedia for the same reason. What’s awful about this is that every time the virus visits our home, we just can’t contain it. Someone else has to catch it too.
My son was restless the other night. Naturally, Denver and I were also up every now and then because of his crying. I could only assume that he was having difficulty breathing through his tiny nostrils. Denver had been complaining of a sore throat too, so we all went to Medical City in the afternoon. But not until after going to Ippo’s favorite place first… Jabi (Jollibee).
In the hospital, we had to stay at the emergency wing. It was a Sunday, so clinics were closed. My two boys were both wearing collared shirts and maong shorts. Ippo kept trying to remove his hospital ID bracelet, until he saw that his daddy was also wearing one. It was kinda cute that both of them were wearing the same ID bracelet that said “Crispo.”
My son picked on his nose right in front of the doctor. Yuck. Turn off. And he did it twice. Haha. He reminds me so much of my brother when it comes to icky habits.
I really like the service in Medical City’s E.R. They even used a nebulizer on Ippo. His condition wasn’t even serious. We were really just there for a consult and to get a prescription for him. If we had gone to a regular clinic, we would just be given a prescription and then sent off.
By the way, now I can tell who’s an Intern and who’s an Attending Physician. After watching all those episodes on Grey’s, I know that the interns are those who look like zombies, or maybe more like students who’ve been up for days. You can tell by the acne marks, dark eye bags and oily nose. The Attendings are usually very makinis and just have this clean look. I wonder... would I have made a good doctor? How would I look if I had turned into one? Nye. But for sure I would specialize in dermatology or cosmetic surgery. I would remove a lot of hair and have loads of fat sucked out of me. Ü

If you really want to have doctors who could give TLC's to Ippo whenever he has respiratory problems, better go to a physician who specializes in respiratory diseases, and at the same time, child diseases. Sort of respiratory-pedia thing. I've met one in Cebu Doctor's Hospital (for my niece) so I bet there's a lot here in Manila. They give nebulizers to babies even with "normal" common cold and offer small kids some medicated candies.
As for the interns, yeah, they look groggy and stressed out compared to the resident doctors. First reason I guess is that they're not paid and second is that they've been given a lot of tasks compared to the resident ones for them to learn a lot. I really pity my friend who's currently having her internship in PGH. She's having 48-hour shift sometimes and would even spend for the syringes and stuff for the customers who couldn't afford those things.
As for the specialization thing, a friend's friend who's taking up Medicine when I first met her told me that I should also be taking up medicine because of my interest in Biology and my good memory (weee) and I must also specialize in Dermatology or Cosmetic surgery because she finds me too maarte. Obviously, I didn't take her advice. I might keep on redoing the stitches if I think that they're not done perfectly, and I might be trying out closed blanket stitch. Hehehe.
Wow, ang haba na pala ng comment ko.
Oo nga. Parang isang buong post. Hehe. But your comments are always welcome here!
I think I read about your friend in one of your older entries. Si Jessa ba yun? Hehe, feeling ko naman kilala ko lahat ng characters sa entries mo.
Ay no. It's Hunnie. Hehehe. Parang ganun na nga. My friends also say, "Ah, ito pala si [name of person]" when I show them some of my pictures. It's like people who constantly visit my blog get to know my subjects before meeting them in person.
Nye. Yabang ko pa. Mali pala. Haha!
