We have been taught how to prioritize appropriately, have we not?
Warning: this one is yet just one of those random rants I feel like writing. I’m not sure where this kind of writing and sharing would lead my ideas and opinions, but this would have to mean something, somehow.

It just has come to my attention, what is it with some hospitals that when they renovate and improve their structural aspects they tend to give the least priority to the patients?

I have nothing against putting up air conditioning units inside a nurses’ station, but I just wonder, what good does it do to have nurses a very comfortable haven for their charting and stuff when the patients themselves, the ones they chart for, the ones they ideally should’ve been most attentive to, suffer from heat and discomfort? Who pays the bills anyway?

It’s not wrong if the nurses’ stations are very clean. Well, that is just something very much necessary. But, I think it becomes wrong when the nurses’ station is very clean, while the ward itself is left full of filth and is very obnoxious to smell. Yes, most of the time it is the patients’ fault that the wards are dirty, but, if someone cleans the station constantly, can’t there be someone to clean the wards as much? And not just someone random who’s gonna passively wipe the floor with an even dirtier mop and then leaves it like nothing really happened! Who pays the bills anyway?

Oh and what a nice view it is to see if a hospital had a very hotel-like reception area, right? Perhaps they decide to improve that part first, when they decided to leave the wards unkempt and the other areas still looking medieval, yet. Again, I have nothing against that. But, when the OPD looks crappy, the comfort rooms inside are unbearable, the other facilities FOR THE PATIENTS are unpresentable, what sense is there in making a reception area look so fabulous? Who pays the bills anyway?

When a doctor passes by, he or she is greeted by the best way of greeting someone. For a moment there, in such a way, he or she is like worshipped for some reason I couldn’t fathom. But when a patient or a significant other asks for a simple prescription of mdications that are due, goes to the lab and follows up a result, passes by randomly, he or she is treated either like a draft of air or a criminal who did not deserve a smile. Sorry if you were unintentionally attacked by that statement. I’m not generalizing I’m just stating a common observation. A doctor highly respected, and a patient in some ways degraded. Who is he that pays the bills anyway?

If I had to cite more examples, your eyes would shut down themselves for tons of other ugly hospital moments are yet to be opened up here. But were my judgment correct, those examples are already enough to prove my point.

Funny how a lot of nurses fight for their right to be respected as professionals, right for a better compensation, right for job opportunities, and whatever other right there is, when the professionalism is not observed well, and when patients rarely receive medical services they deserve from paying their taxes?

Why do most nurses, registered or not, satisfy themselves with whatever kind of situation there is? Why do they have to accept that the ideal setting is impossible to attain here in the country? Yes. We lack facilities, we lack materials, but we don’t lack manpower. We never failed in improvising things. We are never short of ideas to improve our health care. The main thins still remains to be the welfare of the patients. We could forget about the bedpan, the kelly pad, etc., but for one thing, we never have to compromise our care and consideration for patients.

You are not in the hospital to be comfortable, you are not there to be pretty for the boys and hunky for the girls, no. You are there for this one and only reason: DUTY. Patient-centered duty.

If there’s anyone you should bow down to in a hospital, then that would have to be the patient. If there’s someone who deserved a better ventilation there, it’s not you, but the patient. Listen. You cannot call yourself a Nurse, a disciple of Nightingale, a healthcare provider, oh no you can’t, should no patient ever lived and asked for your care. This is a big gray area that you should remember.

Ask yourself this, WHO PAYS THE BILLS ANYWAY?

I miss you.

Halos lahat ng bagay dito sa bahay namen ikaw ang naalala ko. Simula sa pag-unlock ko ng phone kabukas ko ng laptop. Hay. Hirap. Hirap magpigil ng nararamdaman ko. Hirap pilitin sa sarili ko na ‘tama na muna’. Hirap isuko ang tanging bagay na nagpapasaya sa akin. Hirap isipin na para rin ito sa ikakabuti naten. Ang hirap sabihin na magiging ok din ako. Hirap kung ang lahat ng sinasabi ko ay hindi congruent sa nararamdaman ko. 

Inexpect ko na eh, kaso ayaw kong isipin at ayaw ko sana mangyari. Alam ko naman na tendency ako magmahal ng sobra at tumanggap ng kaunti. Tanggap ko naman yun eh. Kaso, yun. tama nga naman muna.

Ikaw lang nasa isip ko magsimula akong gumising. Gusto kita makausap, kaso pinipigilan ko kasi alam ko gusto mo ng space. Sana kayanin ko to.

Sana kapag nahanap mo na yung sarili mo, mahal mo parin ako.

Mahal na mahal kita.

Alam nyo, sobrang dalang lang ako maka-kuha ng regalo kapag pasko. Sa totoo lang, naiinggit nga ako sa iba sa tuwing may nagbibigay ng regalo sakanila, ewan ko baka dahil dakilang inggitero ako. Pero seryoso, gusto ko namang maranasan na special ako, lalo na sa araw ng kapaskuhan.

Ano nga ba ang 5 bagay na gusto kong matanggap ngayong Christmas? (Naks, daig ko pa ang humihiling ng regalo kapag may birthday)

Sanuk shoes. Hindi ko alam pero gandang ganda ako sa Sanuk, lalo na sa kulay pulang produkto nila. Wala, ang cute at ang lakas ng dating sa’kin.

Varsity Jacket. Alam nyo sa totoo lang usong uso ang ganitong jacket na ngayon, masisisi mo ba naman kami, kung nagagandahan naman talaga kami dito. Naks.

Pants from Topman. Alam nyo ba, gustong gusto kong magkaroon ng ganitong klase ng pants from Topman, pero syempre, hindi naman ganoong kamura ang pants na ‘to don, pero sana may anghel na bumagsak sa langit at regaluhan ako neto.

Gray Cardigan. Of all the cardigan, ganitong kulay ang gusto ko. Not exactly ganyan ang brand na gusto ko, kasi baka makuba kayo sa presyo. Ganitong cardigan lang, ayos na sa’kin. Lakas kasi ng dating sa’kin ng gray na cardigan.

Blazer. Alam nyo sa totoo lang ang hilig ko sa blazer. Pansinin nyo naman at dalawang meet-up na akong nagsusuot ng blazer. Ayun ewan ko ba kung bakit gusto ko ulit magkaroon ng bagong blazer.

Ang hirap ng dating ko no? Sa totoo lang, maaari ko naman talaga silang pagipunan, pero alam mo yung pakiramdam na may magbibigay sa’yo ng mga bagay na yan, lalo na kung sa mga taong hindi mo naman inaasahan. 

Ewan, ang babaw ko lang no? Pero ang 5 yan ang gusto kong matanggap ngayong kapaskuhan.
