more ramblings from a medical student.

if you think that all medical students are responsible, well you're wrong. In a group of 20, i can count with my fingers the number of people who have the initiative to do things; there could be those who may need a little push while some don't really care at all, yes, DONT really care at all. and that is just so frustrating especially since you thought that high school and college days of doing what should be group reports turning into individual reports are over.

sometimes i ask myself why i do what i do. why im being overly responsible when others dont really seem to care at all. then i get my answer with another sad question, of who's going to do it anyway? it's always the same people and it's unfair.

well maybe, it's not that they are not responsible, maybe they just have a different set of priorities. because they know that other people would do things for them and once again, they are saved. but then again, it's unfair.

and this kind of system has to stop. cause when we become doctors in the future, it's life that should be our priority. not connections. not a social life. and by then, you're on your own, holding yourself accountable for all your patients.

i just wish they get to see that before everything is too late.

and honestly, i'm just so tired. and annoyed. when do you say it's too much anyway?

The Preparation.

How do you put 100 days of preparation, 4 days of examination and 3 days of waiting in one blog entry? You can’t. Haha. So I’m making this a 3 part entry. That very long hiatus from writing and this heart full of emotions had led me craving to write my heart out. So indulge me. I don’t think I would be able to encapsulate all the emotions in that one of a kind journey which led me to where I am today. But I would still try because having that experience is something that I would love to look back to (definitely not do again) but something that I would like to read about when I feel like strolling down my memory lane. It started the day after the review center (Topnotch medical board prep) orientation where we were welcomed with a wake-up call, the board examination is about three months away - 106 days to be exact. Will it be enough? Probably. And then came the diagnostic exams where in there was really the doubt of whether it will be enough.  Parang hindi . But it was...

Life Thoughts - Life and Thoughts.

And just like that, we are married! The past few months have been heart-very-light-kind-of-nice. <3 It feels actually weird to have someone with you 24/7 at home (and not the hospital). And nope, I'm not complaining.  As usual, I've been wanting to write but not finding any inspiration until today.  I've been reflecting, more of day dreaming, while reviewing for the board exam and I just want to write down some, well, thoughts.  I grew up in an environment where there are things that should never be talked about, just because you don't want to make things worse. And it did not make things worse, but it did not make them better as well. I learned that words can make or break someone. And that if you do not have anything nice to say, it was better to shut up. And because if you say mean things, no matter how true, these may hurt people. However, this mindset did not shield me from getting hurt. This was also why I hated confrontations. Because I only thought that confr...
