E.R., Atbp.

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
