okay so here’s my late o-seven whatnots.

My bday, xmas and new year passed by and i’m so freakin upset about it coz di masyadong na-feel ang holiday season. Tapos wala pang snow at medyo mainit parin dito sa new york city (but i prefer that way naman). I tried to celebrate my new year sa times square but gosh, when i arrived there sobrang daming tao halos wala na akong makitang kalsada. so pagbigyan na ang mga tourists (and not-so-tourists) to celebrate there. i left midtown and went to Crobar. As usual dami jologs na spanish at black,  kaasar, so after the champagne toast and hors d’oeuvres umuwi nko, syempre nagpakabusog muna ako noh sayang yung $200 nentrance shet! besides i have work the following day so sabi ko before 2am nsa bahay nako. back to work nanaman, busy busyhan.

actually i don’t have any resolutions this 2007 but last tuesday was an eyeopener for me. i realized that i really need to be organized and focused coz my license is at stake. Hay, long story, to make it short, i commit a med error, instead of giving a drug in a drip na-IV push ko (slow naman syempre hehe), e malay ko ba noh, nabasa ko kz sa bottle "for IM or IV" so i assume, i repeat.. I ASSUME na pwedeng push yun.. di pla. it’s cerebyx by the way. buti nlang half dose lang yung naibigay ko dahil naubos yung floor stock namin at buti nalang walang naging effect sa patient kung hindi lagot ako (seriously). So ayun nung malaman nung mga chismoso at chismosang mga co-workers naging talk of the nation na ako. Kesyo i’m always commiting a med error daw and nagpush daw ako ng Cardizem 500 IV.. duh.. anu ba yun, tsk it never happened kaya. why do they have to make stories out of that one med error, mali pa yung info it’s not cardizem it’s cerebyx shitheads! kaasar. i really hate it, i tried suppressing my feelings throughout the rest of my shift. i’m so stressed that night, zero energy level plus a heavy heart. i’m wonderin’ why they have to do that to me, there’s a lot of horror stories inside the emergency department that i know like wrong foley placements, intubation accidents and more serious med errors but they wouldn’t talk and make stories about those.. maybe because i’m a fresh meat in the ED that’s why i deserve that kind of treatment. maybe some of them were jealous bcoz my name is always posted in the ‘nice people list’ bulletin board. i thought i could just walk away and get over with it but the feeling and the reality that on my next duty, those people offering help to you are the same ones talking behind your back –is so frustrating.

basta next duty it’ll be different. i swear.
