New Medicine Hymn: (to the tune of Manny Villar political ad jingle)

Jehan D. tagged me into this which she reposted from Hazel D.
Nakakuha ka na ba ng grado na mababa?
Nagsunog ka na ba ng kilay hanggang umaga?
Yan ang tanong namin, 65 nga ba ang passing?
Naisip mo na ba, bat nagaaral ka pa?
Todo effort tayo, pero walang nagbabago
at mas mabuti pa kung natutulog tayo?

Medicine ang tunay na mahirap,
Medicine ang tunay na puro pasakit
Medicine ang may kakayahan na malimutan sariling pangalan

Medicine lamang, ang magtatapos ng ating kasiyahan.
***whoever made this is a genius!!! Haha!

multiple choice

what's loathsome about multiple choice type of exam is you're faced with limited choices. you argue with what is presented and thinks that there is a better answer. CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER--the instruction says. but what if there are two best answers? or none of the above is the best answer, yet "none of the above" is not among the choices? this type of exam cannot gauge what you know and what you do not know, because sometimes, you studied so hard for the exam you almost lost your sanity but you are faced with confined options. you want to debate to the person who constructed the exam but there's no room for that, not even a chance. so if you flunk, it doesn't mean you're dumb, it only means: WHAT YOU CERTAINLY KNOW IS NOT ON THE CHOICES. but then again, on the brighter side, it helps to have options when you have absolutely no idea about the statement given. tee hee. and hope for God's mercy that the box you have decided to shade after a minute or two of inny-minni-miny-mooing is the right one. chamba, 'ika nga. but the point is you studied, and a mark of "JUST PASSED" is not enough after putting on too much sweat and tears for it.

Community Medicine

shots i took in our assigned community---Purok 1, Tambacan, Iligan City. we had our semestral operation timbang this morning. this photos reflect poverty in the country.

this Neurology module gives me headache

Neuro 1 module started this week (immediately after the OB-GYN exam), and it is so vast and extensive that I don't know where to start first. Perplexing. *groan* Doctors told us that it is interesting. I better find that hole that will lead me to love this module. My mind is so vague I can't concentrate. Things-to-do are piling up I lost my ability to prioritize. Tomorrow is Psychia prelim and make-up ward rotation (not to mention PBL session), whole weekends will be spent for Surgery case presentations (read: whole days of Saturday and Sunday), Monday is the deadline for Psychia research paper (I haven't edited my paper as of speaking moment). I scheduled Wednesday for Caduceus meeting and reorganization. I need to breathe.

ALL POWERS COME FROM ALLAH, THUS HE GIVES STRENGTH TO WHOM HE HAS BESTOWED POWER UPON.

because i am procrastinating..

i will share some lines from the book i am currently reading instead of my OB/Gyne books. it's called SURGEONS DO NOT CRY by Ting Tiongco.
*Man is a predatory animal. And in daily life, Man's favorite prey is the next man himself. Any display of weakness and uncertainty may often be exploited maximally by the person standing in line behind you on the sidewalk or in a bus. Of course, this does not happen all the time. But it happens often enough, especially between people who have nothing in common.
*All in the pretext of education and job opportunities abroad, we kill our culture.
*There is no person alive who never cheated. And there is no person alive who can guarantee that he/she will never cheat again. Given the chance, the person you meet walking down the steet WILL cheat. Some will cheat more than others. And more will cheat if they know they can get away with it.
* Man made time. And man can always make time for anything he wanted to do as Man can always claim the lack of time for anything he did not want to do.
*One's error of commission or omission may mean another person's life.
i am halfway finishing this half-inch thin collection of short stories of a surgeon from UP-PGH as i read during my spare times, or, the times when massive laziness of reading school books is all over me. just like right now. =) i will share the rest again, when i am procrastinating.
