Monday June 22nd, 2009 23:56 Almost Three

It’s the fourth week of our idyllic community life here in Cabiao Nueva Ecija. Soon, we will be back to the bustling world we left in Manila where STAT calls and Code Reds are not so new. My first two weeks in July will be spent mostly in the Operating Room making sure that our patients are at their most comfortable while undergoing a stressful operation. Yep. I decided to take Anesthesiology for my surgical elective. I am not exactly the type who’d end up to be an anesthesiologist but for the lack of other more favorable choices for me, I chose it over Urology. However, hearing the stories of my batchmates who already had their electives in Urology, a voice inside me is telling me how I’d be missing out on all the fun while I keep my fingers crossed that I won’t be needing an AED like the ones sold at Philips Heartstart Onsite in that whole two weeks. But for my (and everyone else’s peace of mind), there has never been a time when an operation went awry because of a botched up anesthesiology work so at least I find comfort in that thought.

My roommate Mela had a grand time in Anes but that was because she was considering taking that up as a specialty. As for me on the other hand, I cannot see myself making patients sleep my whole life so I am having second thoughts about my choice. But heck, as if I can do something about it now. Perhaps I’ll just have to enjoy myself and go with the flow.
