prevmed wooooooo

We're doomed.

We couldn't find any of the most important journal articles for our PrevMed research. My friend looked for the journals in UST. We needed a 1992 journal. They had issues from 1993-present. They had issues earlier than 1992.

But there was no 1992 journal.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sinumpa ata kami!!!

The whole day I was thinking of PrevMed. PrevMed in the morning. PrevMed while taking a bath. PrevMed while eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. PrevMed while driving. PrevMed PrevMed PrevMed the whole day. I called Jel to ask if she knows anyone from other medical schools who'd be willing to help us look for the journals in their libraries. Sobrang naiiyak na kami.. :(

We agreed to look for a new problem, in case we really don't get a copy of the articles we need. I just hope Dr. Tapia approves of it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm going to tie my fingers in this position.

Anyways, my friend Me-anne gave birth to a healthy baby boy! Woohooo! Congrats! :)

I now have two friends who are already mommies! And both have boys. Haha. Cool. I'm this excited because I got to see a lot of Me-ann's pregnancy moments. Unlike Steph who was taken away to Isabela by Jeff.. Hehe. I haven't even seen my inaanak Jared. Steph, you better come home to Bulacan. At least let your son meet me before he marries!

Me-anne was supposed to have a normal delivery, but then they found out that the baby's umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and legs, so they had to do CS. I wasn't supposed to go already because it was already late, but Angie had a debut to attend, and my tatay had a meeting to attend too, so I was left to take her to the venue, and I decided to drop by the hospital after. I arrived there just a few minutes after the baby came out. Thank God they were both okay. Popoy (Me-anne's husband) and I were the first to see the baby. :)

Conversations with the doctors

(they're husband and wife. The husband's an anesthesiologist, the wife's an ob-gyn. They talked to me when they found out I was a medical student.)

#1:
Doctor: Balita ko 6 lang daw ang first year sa inyo?
Me: Huh? Sa St. Luke's po?
Doctor: Oo. 6 lang daw.
Me (said): Ay hindi po. Nasa 70+ naman po ata.
Me (thinking): San mo naman napulot yan?

#2:
Doctor: Ilan ang pumasa sa boards nyo nung first batch?
Me: Di ko po alam eh. 83% po ata. (Hehe I think it was the 2nd batch...)
Doctor: Ahhh may bumagsak pa din pala.
Me (thinking): Nge. Meron po bang medical school na nakaka-100% passing?

#3:
Doctor(a): Magkano ang tuition mo dun?
Me: Yung last po 68thou po yata..
Doctor(a): Mura pa nga yun eh. Pareho lang kayo ng FEU.
Me (thinking): Mura.. Sorry ha poor lang ako. Sige nga pag-aralin mo ko?

Hehe. Ala lang. Medyo lumakas hangin nun sa hospital.. Ewan ko ba..

For a moment there you thought I forgot about PrevMed? Nope. I went there too to ask Me-anne and Popoy (who are both grads of UP), if their library is open during Sundays and if we (non-UPs) could look for journals there.

I hate PrevMed.
