There are only a handful of them. ^__^

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

So there's this doctor. She's a general practitioner and she works at the OPS where we're having our clinical duty. One day we send in a patient with her forms, consisting of two sheets, not stapled but clipped. She comes out of her room and yells at us why we didn't staple the patient forms. Keyword: yelled. There were a lot of patients at the OPS that time.

We filed an incident report later on and she got reprimanded for her actions by the chief nurse. We labeled her "unprofessional" in our incident report. Which is quite true. Now she doesn't want to accept consultations with patient forms done by our group. She has a grudge on us and has even attempted to meddle with the immunization, which by the way, is run by nurses not by doctors.

So she really is unprofessional.

And she thinks like an insecure 12-year-old girl.

We kept our cool. She didn't.

Loser.

Hospital duty is semi-toxic at the moment. My group is assigned in the out-patient services. We deal mostly with uniformed people since we're serving a military hospital. It's something that I take pride in doing because we are helping the military that more or less keeps everything safe and secure inside the country.

Wednesday so far has been the most toxic of all days because the diabetics clinic is open in the afternoon. Who would've known that there are many cases of both types of diabetes in the military? Too bad we were not allowed to perform the bgm on the patients. Some intruder in the form of an insistent med-rep and the staff nurses did the procedure. Huhu.

And I'm living in a dormitory now. How sweet. After two years of commuting, finally, my parents decided it's time for me to live alone away from home. Duh... They only thought of it now! The dorm doesn't impose a curfew so it's really appropriate for student nurses like me who have afternoon to evening shifts. I'm also glad that my roommates are nice. They introduced themselves to me and gave me a few tips about dorm life. We exchanged courses and I found out that I'm the only one who's taking nursing. Two of them, however, are allied health students too, one's studying speech pathology, another public health. The other two roommates, I'm still not sure what their courses are.

Overall assessment: I can live alone as long as I have the money. (Ain't it silly of me to say that? Hehe...) I picture myself taking my masters three years from now while working and still live in the same dorm I'm residing in today.
