Well...
Nothing really exciting happened to me during the times when I didn't feel like updating my blog. Well, except that class is finally over. Meaning to say, next week will be finals week and I'm going crazy about reviewing for everything.
The whole week was spent on eternal make up classes by teachers who always never seemed to finish discussing the entire syllabi on time probably because of one or both of these reasons 1. the entire semester is just not enough to tackle everything in the syllabus and/or 2. these teachers slacked off during the first half of the semester that's why all of us are suffering this second half. My instructors in all my subjects are all okay. I believe my block has the nicest and most lenient teachers among the other blocks. I was really appalled when the midterm grades of my friends (from other blocks) in Pathophysiology plummeted to a line of six. Eh ang passing grade ay 75. It turned out that their instructor in Patho passed only 17 students from the 3 blocks he's handling. Aysos.
I know a clinical instructor who holds the title for being the most irresponsible nurse in the world. My gulay, it perplexes me why she even got qualified to be a nurse and a teacher in the college. Two weeks ago, she asked her student, friend Jek, to tell my group that we'll be having a make up duty with her at some lying-in clinic somewhere in Tondo the next morning. Unfortunately, she was the substitute for our pregnant clinical instructor who filed an LOA earlier. According to my friend who told us about the make up, the duty would start at 8a. So at 8a we went there. My trip to Tondo was terribly nauseating because I had to pass by Divisoria first before I could get to the lying-in clinic. The mud, the garbage, the wet market, the smoke coming from jeepneys, and other random things you see in there that were probably introduced to this earth by spontaneous generation - they have all developed a wonderfully reeking stench which is unbearable to everybody who has not yet developed anosmia. If I had extrinsic asthma, I would have lost my consciousness and died easily on the grubby road.
So anyway, I still reached the place on time despite the heavy traffic. My group mates were pretty much excited about assisting in the delivery room again as it's been a long while since we did that. It wasn't surprising at all when we didn't find our CI when we got to the clinic. Everybody who knows this lady knows that she's a tomadora and a latecomer. While there is a policy that students cannot work in any health establishments unless there is a CI with them, we are left with no choice except to wait for her to arrive. By the clinic's staircase, we sat on a plastic bench that could barely accommodate five people. My four other group mates had to stand.
Three hours had passed and she still hasn't arrived. The five of us who sat on the bench were having ischemia of the butt while the other four who remained standing produced varicosities on their legs. We tried to contact her through her cell phone but in vain. She would not answer our calls. Our heads heated up, we left the clinic with fury. In-injan kami. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha.
Finally, one of our classmates at home was able to talk to her. Nasa bahay pala sya, kagigising lang. My classmate told her how looong we'd waited for her in the clinic. Then she said something like this: Hindi ko alam na may duty sila. Sana man lang in-inform nila ko.
That was a real good slap to our faces. I wanted to shove her papular face up to her ass orifice. I ask myself, tao ba talaga 'tong kausap namin?
End of part one.
