Masamang Misis na Kuneho


Oo, ako ay nagtutule, 1st year med pa lang ako, tumutule na ko.

Wala kong nakukuhang pera rito. Meryenda lang, minsan lunch na matino.

Eh ano ngayon kung tumutule ako, nakapagbibigay-saya naman ako

sa mga binatilyong di makatuntong sa ospital na pribado.


Tuwing bakasyon, yan ang trip ng medical frat ko.

Pumunta sa probinsya, medical misyon, bigay serbisyo sa tao.

Walang bayad-bayad, kami pa ang abonado.

Ikaw na nanunuya, nakikipagkapwa-tao?


Hindi lang tule ang nagawa ko, sa clerkship at internship ko

Lahat pinasukan ko, bypass, exlap,tracheostomy, knee replacement at TAHBSO

mag-isa akong intern sa TB ward ng San Lazaro

sa Fabella, isang damukal na nanay ang napaanak ko.


Ilang oras na tulog ang hindi ko tinulog

Sa isang linggo, nobentang oras ang duty ko

walang holiday, kahit baha, walang pasko

kailangan pumunta, di tulad ng trabaho niyo.


Ilang pasyente ang tinakbuhan para mag CPR

Kinakausap ang pasyente na parang ka-angkan

walang bahid ng sama, gusto gumaling lang

pinakamarangal na propesyon, mura kung komentuhan


kaya kung di mo ko kilala, wag mo kong mamaliitin

ang komento niyong basura pwede ba sunugin?

pang-aasar niyo, pagmumura, biro lang at tukso?

kung ganun, hindi kayo mga sira-ulo.

A Lifetime's Worth of Education (from a Filipino Thomasian Medical Student)

...because even if you have attained the highest level or position in the medical field, you are always a student of medicine. I wrote this blog on March 10, 2006 in my yahoo 360 account as an attempt to blog about my medical life (which I failed to do). This was written days before I became a 4th year student, a medical clerk, or in the medical lingo, "the lowest life form in the hospital"... Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.

Your Grace

Black Digital ravens slowly descend Sliding to open does my hand Unearthing the letter from your Grace Reforming your Sansa's face Galloping steps between our Wall Heavy as the Red wedding at the Hall Can never be mine your Grace Gaze at my white walker face Our path begets Winterfell A great kingdom burned to hell See through the flames your grace Murder by the Hound's daze A visit from the One Eyed Crow Is an arrow from Ygritte 's bow Its the beheading scene your grace These mind bending plots to haze
