Hello! After a month of not doing a blog... here I am again... Busy days since April 1st. I am lucky to have a good schedule and same with good groupmates. Surgery is my first rotation as a junior intern in De La Salle University Medical Center. At first, everything was new to me. I don't have any idea of what to do first. I am living with new people, new experiences, new situations... I am such a stranger when I first entered at the emergency room. I am scared of the consultants and residents at first. My status on my first day was post duty... It was really tiring that I wasn't able to fix myself and had my meals and then I really passed out when I went home.
But today is my 13th day in ER surgery... It feels like I've been here for so long. I am familiar with things. I learned a lot.... it is such a good experience working with my colleagues. The hospital is my new home...
