Literally. That's how we roll at Ophtha. Another loved rotation because, again, it made me learn things I didn't know before. I was inept at ophthalmologic exam so this was another challenge for me in gathering skills at looking at the back of the eyes called the retina and identifying the optic disc, the macula, the fovea and determining abnormal structures as a manifestation of a systemic disease.

Ophtha residents' duty schedule has been envied by any other PGH residents. They're relatively the most benign training. Their patients are not benign but they got the most relaxed schedule. They don't run bloods for the surgery of their patients and they don't need much assists. So cool!!!
Kaya pag tinamad ako, mago-ophtha ako!! Hehehe.

It was included as a bonus question in our end-of-rotation exam the best and worst part of our Ophtha stay.
Best:
a. The residents are so chillax. They're not always in a state of hurry, thus, not creating hypertoxicity among interns. They're intern-friendly as well. :)
b. The building. They're the only department with a separate building called the Sentro Oftalmologico Jose Rizal donated by the government of Spain in honor of our very own National Hero, Gat Jose Rizal, who is the First Filipino Ophthalmologist.
Worst:
That the rotation lasts only for two weeks. :( It's so sad that it ends when we already get the hang of it (and the time I discovered how gorgeous this certain resident is. haha!)

Internship update:
We are so back into the fragile arms of Pedia, the time when the clerks are off for their vacation in preparation for internship. Waaaahhh!!! I'm ready to be killed.
