WANNABE INTERN: Week 3



Message to the Pre-Intern: If you allow it, this Period can be the best period of your life!
Why didn’t anyone tell us that this period could be the best period of our lives? Why didn’t anyone tell me that I could absolutely enjoy this time, walking through each day like they are all presents given to me by God, deeply appreciating him for the grace of freedom at this period in my life?
I have learned not only how to earn money, but also how to be financially accountable
I have learned to treat my gift as a business
I have learned to value and cherish my family members, something I wasn’t able to truly learn while I was in school
I have learned not to overlook the ‘little’, the ‘insignificant’.
I have learned to wake up each morning anticipating the goodies of the day, to go to bed feeling fulfilled that once again, I have put my talents to good use
I have learned that there is life outside school, outside medicine, outside what I have ever known.
 I have learned that each moment holds its own beauty, one which I cannot afford to overlook. I am happy. Too happy to even remember that I haven’t started housejob when others have. Truly, I know that I’ll miss this period of my life. I can feel it- because I haven’t experienced anything this intense in like, forever. This is life-changing for me, I cannot deny that!
In this journey of life, perspective is one of the most important things. The only reason I do not regret being at home right now is that I know how much I have chosen to glean from this period. It’s absolutely exciting for me that I can spend each day getting better, richer (yeah), learning more and more from life what medicine will never teach me. To get to this point, you would have to get past the feeling of being cheated and come to a point where you are TRULY happy to be where you are- and to be learning what you’re learning at that point in life. I have gleaned lessons for my future during this time. What are you doing with the time on your hands?
Workbook
State what your perspective is, in terms of your house job search
List out between 5-10 things that you’re happy about!
Say out loud: This period is the best period of my life, up till now; and I will enjoy it! say it for as many times as you want to

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

DOKITA

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...
