Writing a blog after my orals would probably cause me some serious emotional ailment if all the things that I wanted to express will be in suspension...since I haven’t had my orals yet because the doctor in my panel is not available. For the past week, ive been opening the "compose" page of my blog and when I had the opportunity to spill it all out, my mind just gets stuck and blank until I finally grasped upon my mouse and decided to click the exit icon. Perhaps I was tired these past few days because I’ve been out of our home most of the day---make-up at hospitals then in the evening, practice for tomorrow's Night of Worship for our church's youth. I haven’t been finishing a new topic for my orals though im really workin' on it. Even if im not loaded with patients in the hospital (since there are regular interns already...ahem...feeling!), I then compensate my lack of sleep from last night in the interns' room. Yun nga lang, dapat wag magpahalata...demerits yun! Weve been warned though not to, but...it's very difficult to keep your eyelids open if you feel terribly sleepy...even if you don't want to. I honestly desire to read the book that I bring in the hospital to kill time, but there's nothing you can do with the call of forty winks. Haha!
Ok, enough of my sleepiness. I wanna tell you guys about what happened to me this afternoon in the hospital. It was 3:00 pm, and some of my co-make-uppers decided to have a break. Wala eh, pagod...kakatunganga at magbutas ng upuan! After checking out the food in the first cafeteria that we visited and found out that nothing in the items caught my attention to purchase it, I told them that ill be going to the hospital canteen. Mmmm....hotdogs! smokey's would be nice to silence my troubled stomach. The thing is, when I arrived, only a doctor waiting for the smokey's vendor was there. I asked at the alongside counter of viands regarding the whereabouts of the vendor...she'll be returning in a moment, just peed.
My friends also went in that place after buying foods from cafeteria and joined me in waiting for the vendor. As soon as she arrived, I immediately asked her, "miss, may chicken hotdog pa ba kayo?" "Wala eh." Oh. So I scanned the menu once again to look for alternative food to munch on. As I was thinking hard which to order, the doctor approached me, "excuse me miss." "yes?" "sana naman kung sino yung nauna."
Nag-init ang ulo ko. Literally, the hot temper quickly went up to my head and I didn't know how to react then so I just simply said, "nagtatanong lang naman ako eh."
OO! I said that well...without respect. I was wrong with how I said it. Pero isipin niyo na lang, naka-ngiti pa siya but she definitely seemed to be sarcastic when she told me that. After saying that, I was thinking of storming out of the canteen; but I thought of satisfying my hunger more than giving focus on the current situation. Haha! Gutom eh. Hindi na ako nagsalita after. I just waited for the doctor to finally pay for her hotdog and see her graceful exit. We all reacted thereafter, naturally. The vendor asked me, "Galit ba un?" "Ewan ko dun. Nagtatanong lang naman ako eh." Masyado lang niyang inunahan ang pangyayari...at baka um-order ako before her.
What I was pointing out is that she should've been considered my statement and perceived well what I meant about that. Natatakot siguro siyang maubusan. But my friend told me that there were hotdogs enough to sell. Akala siguro niya lahat kami bibili. Returning to the interns' room after that incident made me recall more if I should've done it otherwise (like, shut my mouth and don't mind her) or still do the same thing but with respect.
Hindi porque she has a higher attainment of education doesn't mean she can look down and be sarcastic on interns like us. That doctor must learn that not all people like us can be treated in that manner.
Ho ho ho. That was one short irritating scene! Sorry if I am too irrational right now. My mom agreed with me but yun nga, dapat sinabi ko ng mas maayos.
Appropriate title: "HOTDOG KO DOC!" (tnx irmatoots for the suggested title)
