Delivery And Operating Room

The whole month of February, I was assigned in the Delivery and Operating Room. I'm with Hazel and my newly found friend Adam. I was never nervous going to work not until i was assigned here. It's nerve racking. From the endorsement of the other volunteers kesyo ang susungit nila dun, grr.. eh ako pa man din masintir ako, Masabihan lang ako ng masasakit eh dinidbdib ko. BUT THIS WHOLE THING IS NOT TRUE. They were not masungit like what they've said.

The first day of duty, Mam Lydia is laughing because Mami Franz talks to me in a FORMAL way. Mami Franz was like my second mother. My Mother in the Field of Nursing. She was my mentor, even before when i was still a student. She was my prayer advocate as she always send me inspirational quotes. But we cannot be as close as we can be in the OR. The first day as i am orienting myself, i met the C.I.s and the students. and the first day of the story starts that moment.

It was tuesday, my first Day, and My first BTL. As a volunteer, i need to observe as much as i could but couldn't attend  to both DR and OR at the same time. I am Helping Mam Cely to prepare the instruments to use in BTL when a patient in DR is delivering her baby. I went there to help but when i arrived the whole 6 students of DR and some students of the OR were there, Together with them is Their CI and 2 preceptors, aside from The Doctor. So could you just imagine how crowded that is? so then i decided to go back to the Operating Room to help Mam Cely. Occasionally, I go there to check them up and they were still crowded. i decided to go back to OR again.When finally the BTL is ready, i went back to DR and helped them out. I was lending on the other table since they were many people when suddenly the CI shouted "bakit kasi yang mga volunteers na yan nagsisiwalaan pag may nanganganak" . Promise the way she said it is very offensive cause it's as if i did nothing. I needed to answer back i know. i told her "Mam pano naman kasi ang dami dami na natin dito, lahat nalang ng estudyante nandito sa loob, ang crowded na". She didn't talk. It's getting hot there, that's why i decided to leave the room. But as i leave the room, i heard the CI shouted and told the Preceptors "Mamaya hayaan niyo yang volunteer ang gumawa ng mga yan. dapat nagoobserve lang kayo" .

after that happened, the tension was really present. and when a patient for D&C, no student were around, but the CI was there, like 10 meters from me. JUST STARING Me. Oh God, that's my first day. i dont know what to do. and as i commit mistakes she was there having her Evil Laugh all the way. i really wanted to cry that time. i know my mami Franz would be disappointed when she would've known this. An hour later, I decided to say sorry. I told her that If I offended her for what i've said i'm sorry. its just that they were really many students there and i got nothing to do. I was sincere. She said "kasi sa tinagal tagal ko dito, ngayon lang ako naganito. kasi If that's what you want, i will give you want you want. pero okay lang yun".

It was awkward i know. But i just need to do it. I should have respected her since i am new in the area. But i just want to speak out myself. If i can just do all the work, i would. I wasn't like, doing nothing at all. I am a professional, and a professional can always say sorry to a professional. and then we became as good colleagues as we can be.

I've Loved working in the OR. I took all the chances to learn, Thanks to Mami Franz cause she allow me to do everything. She checks my work, and appreciate all the efforts i've giving. To Mam Lydia as well. Mam Lydia may have said hurting and degrading, but hey! that's her way to correct you, and it's really effective. I know that when i came back to the operating room again, i will be competent enough to handle myself, and to handle the cases. Mami Franz allowed me to Assist BTL and i felt very good because i know that she is confident that i can make it. and she's right.

Mami Franz occasionally scold me. Scolding me like i am her real blood son. but after that she will say "Oh Xander tignan mo si Sir Richard kahit matagal na naming kasama pinapagalitan pa din namin". She as if explained me that what she just told me is nothing personal, and i felt really loved. kahit si Mam Lydia, i felt really loved. I always tease them saying " favorite son, favorite son". haha I can feel, i am really loved.

 

SI HAZEL, AKO, SI SIR ADAM
