It's been another few months since I've posted. I've had ups and downs since then. It's now November; 2 months before the New Year. It's also 2 months before... I finally finish residency...? I leave that at a question mark because I just don't feel it yet. Since 2016, when I was at my 2nd year of residency in my previous hospital, I started to ( Read more... )

The past week has been super busy and I am trying so hard to hold on and keep moving forward. Residency is just so hard at my age right now, especially when you've been at it for more than 5 years.

We recently just had our CERES exam, which was quite difficult and I am afraid, because I want to pass and I have to pass. Other than that, I recently ( Read more... )

It's been about 6 months since I last posted!

So far 2024 has been... weird. It's been stressful, but at the same time I'm trying my best to keep going because if all goes well, this year, it will finally be my last year as a surgery resident. I want to be done. I want to finally be done. So much of my young adult years were wasted away in ( Read more... )

About 6 years ago, I resigned from my previous hospital to pursue my residency training elsewhere. I was suggested a certain public hospital that wasn't accredited yet, but was told that they were working on it. I had nowhere else to go, and the only thing in my mind was "I want to be a surgeon". I took the risk and the gamble. At first I was okay ( Read more... )

It's been another long while. The year started with much less stress than before. I'm now a 4th year senior resident after so many years of residency. A lot has happened so I'm gonna try to summarize the most eventful parts.

One of my pet parrots, Pikoy, escaped and flew away. We recently got ourselves a new gardener/carpenter guy. While he was ( Read more... )

It's been a few months. A lot has happened since the last time I made an entry...

Let's see... My last entry was in September last year. Since then, I drowned in a sea of patients in the ER and was stressed the heck out. I was able to get a short vacation leave, and I spent it going places... Not doing much actually. Lol. I had the last week of ( Read more... )

Hey it's me
So you see
I noticed it really in the end
You know, what you had told to me then
Didn't think
Anything
About it, pushing it from my mind
Forgetting but realizing I'm

Running blindly, reckless finally
Dreams that lied seem so true
Don't like waiting, patience fading
Barely making it through
I know this just won't do

Surely
If on the day I die
I turn ( Read more... )

I am really stressed out.

I'm still on the road to recovery for my wrist, motion-wise. The wound has now scarred and I can use my right hand more. I just need to get back my full range of motion.

So just yesterday, I underwent De Quervain's Release surgery on my right wrist. It's my very second surgery. My first was an excision of lipoma in my old hospital done by a plastic surgeon fellow. My wrist, this time, was done by an orthopedic surgeon who practices in the current hospital I work in. I didn't have the surgery there though. I had it ( Read more... )
