My groupmates and I are having a hard time finding the perfect topic for our thesis. We are suppose to pass the list of our intended topics supported by journals on Friday. So you see, we are already running out of time. Any help, suggestions or comments will be truly much appreciated. Please, it should be Medical Technology/ Clinical Laboratory Science-related. :))
Soon. RMT, MD.
My first 16-hour night duty!
Receive ng request, ward mo, process mo, release mo. So that’s what I did that night. Mahirap kasi tatlo lang kaming interns, so all around. Yung mga section ng lab na hindi pa ako naaassign, kelangan kong matutunan agad para makatulong. There came a time pa nga na may biglang dumating para magpakuha ng dugo sa emergency room. So I have to go there alone at kumuha ng dugo. Buti na lang madaling kuhanan yung mga pasyente. I had 3 patients from the emergency room.
Then I learned to use that machines for CBC, PT and PTT, BUN, Crea, Urinalysis, etc. Then yung mga results kami din ang magiikot sa mga ward para magrelease. Imagine, 1am naglalakad kami sa corridor ng hospital and lalabas pa kami kasi pupunta ng TB ward at HIV ward. Ang dilim dilim sa labas at ang layo layo ng building nila pero kelangan tiisin. Buti na lang walang multo ang nagpakita sa amin. :))
Anyway, nakatulog naman ako for like 2 hours. from 3am to 5am. Then pagkagising, sabak agad, ikot na naman ng mga ward para sa morning pick. Nakakainis lang yung ibang patients, ang titigas ng ulo. Sinabihan na magfasting, kumain pa rin. Marami tuloy ang hindi nakuhanan for FBS. Then after that process ulit ng specimen. And release ulit before magout from duty. Kapagod. Pero buti na lang okay yung mga ka-night duty ko. And yung mga staff, mababait ;) And what I loved about it, we had free dinner and free midnight snacks! Yay! :))
I’m looking forward for my next night duty: Saturday! Sana di rin ganon katoxic! :)
Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages that patrol tiny vessels in the liver called sinusoids, recycling old red blood cells and ingesting pathogens. The endothelium of these vessels is perforated with large holes, allowing the Kupffer cells to migrate into liver tissue at sites of inflammation and damage.

We had a lecture about phlebotomy in the morning. And yung lecturer, sya rin yung nagturo sa amin nung first seminar ng phlebotomy sa UST. So paborito nyang tanungin kami para icheck kung tanda pa namin yung mga tinuro nya. We got free tourniquet after that! :)
It was pretty toxic in the afternoon. Paano ba naman, natambakan kami ng trabaho. Past 11am na natapos yung lecture so ang dami nang requests yung nakatengga lang. So doble kayod tuloy kami nung hapon. And as usual, over sa over time na naman.
Pero okay lang. Nagpakain naman sila ng pancit at puto after ng duty. Birthday kasi nung staff. At least umalis kami with happy tummies! :)))
GOOD MORNING. No duty for today. I oh so love my life :)
Toxic sa RR. Dumagsa yung requests dahil monday. Past 1pm na kami nakapaglunch nung co-intern ko. So I just decided to go warding na lang nung hapon with her para makatakas sa stress. Pero as usual, nakakastress din magward dahil nung mga bantay ng pasyente. More than 2 hours din ang inabot namin to finish 3 pavs.
Haays. Good thing I have 2 days break. And that includes today. I wasn’t able to write yesterday dahil sa sobrang pagod. :)))
Malling is best with the girls! :>
