On Post-Graduate Intership
Apr 14, 2008 Education, Life, Medicine
Time flies so fast. Four years ago, I was a struggling medical student. I couldn’t believe that I actually managed to surpass the trials medical education entailed. I will be an intern in the next 2 weeks! But I don’t know if I should breath for relief or sigh for anticipation and worries. I know that finishing my four years in medical college and entering internship mean that I am facing a tougher life and a greater responsibility.
When you are an intern, you are expected to have acquired most, if not all, the knowledge you need from your four years in medical education - that’s a big responsibility you say. Being admitted to a national hospital (in Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center) makes me worried all the more.
However, Nietzche’s said that “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” This has been my motto in life ever since I started my medical education.
I am crossing my fingers for this new chapter of my life. I know prayers and perseverance will do the trick.

To train at a public or private hospital?
Jan 22, 2008 Education, Life, Medicine
One of our juniors asked which is better for training or internship, private or public hospital? And this question has been in my head also since the start of our post-graduate internship application.
I have been exposed to both private and public hospitals during our clerkship. I am now at the ancillary department so I am already out of hospital duties (yehey!).
To answer the question, I had to ask these things to myself:
1. Do I prefer toxic or benign duties? Read the rest of this entry »
Public hospitals cater for the common people so it is expected that you’ll have toxic duties. But in return, you are exposed to more learning: you get to encounter several cases, including the rare ones. On the other hand, private hospitals are expectedly benign, well except maybe for some selected large hospitals.

How I got through with expenses at med school?
Jan 22, 2008 Blogging, Education, Internet, Making Money Online
Before I entered medical school, I have already anticipated about the expenses it will entail. I have applied for several scholarships but I was not qualified to most of them because of my parents’ income. Also, I belong to the mediocre, so my grades usually could not meet the cut off for these scholarships. I wanted to apply for Pinoy MD Program by the Department of Health, but the program was offered during our third year and it exclusively catered to indigenous people (well, I could qualify to it because I’m a Maranao), local health workers, barangay health workers, Department of Health employees or their children.
My parents are the sole provider for my books and sometimes, I feel guilty that at my age, they still provide me everything. I should be working at 23. I wanted to help my parents so I started exploring possibilities to help them. Read the rest of this entry »
