What greeted my open eyes this morning? Nothing fascinating but the darkness of the NGCP-induced now 26-hour blackout! The only amazing thing was that my rechargeable fan which was already on for 8 hours was still going strong...thanks Dra. Apita and family for that particular raffle prize.
As I got up and prepared for my day, I was surprized by the pittle-pattle outside my bathroom window (which was the only window in my room). It was raining, the first drops of rain in about a weeks time. The weather here is truly fascinating...rain throughout nov-feb and sun from may-oct. Parang di Pinas.
As I finished my rounds, I realized I had a few new cases that were medically simple but clinically befudling as to how many doctors missed the diagnosis from out patient to admission. Note to self: make a lecture series for doctors and health professionals on basic medical conditions with odd presentations.
As for lunch I decided on a local home-made siomai from Cabana, the best in Borongan, not to mention the best home-made chili garlic oil I have ever tasted! Then for take-out I got myself a calorie splurge with a cheeseburger extra cheese and patty.
As I headed out, I had my first real laugh of the year. The guy handed me my order and an extra bag. What' in the extra bag you ask? The extra cheese and extra raw patty! Bwahaha! I had him redo my order and I headed out.
My main schedule in the afternoon is to do a cardiopulmonary evaluation on indigent ptients set to receive surgical care from American surgeons in partnership with the local diocese of Borongan. It was a tough job but I finished with a smile (and a siopao with C2 Apple to boot) because I know what I was doing will make a difference in the lives of those indigent people.
Then off to badminton. I played 3 games, where I won 2. Since I just started, I am assuming the other guy did all the job. Hehe. Kudos to Florina of Philhealth! Great game!
Went home with a longing for more exciting things. As I upload this, I am still chuckling from the raw patty episode earlier. Dreams be sweet because I need you to.
More to come...
