Song: If You're Not The One- Daniel Bedingfield
Dinner
Mas lalo atang namula ang pisngi ko nang dahil sa sinabi niya. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at kinagat ang pang-ibaba kong labi.
I cleared my throat and tried not to look so affected with what he just said but it was impossible. Kahit anong gawin ko, napapangiti parin ako.
"So, what's your answer?" tanong ni Lucas. Hindi parin nawawala ang ngiti sa kanyang labi.
"Fine. It's acute glomerulonephritis."
"See? You're correct. Do you still need to call a friend?"
Tumawa lang ako at hinayaan siyang magpatuloy sa pagtatanong. Habang tumatagal ata ang pagrereview namin, mas lalong sumasakit ang panga ko dahil hindi mawala-wala ang ngiti sa labi ko.
I just couldn't stop on smiling while looking at him. Kahit siya ay hindi rin nawawala ang ngiti sa tuwing nagbibiro ako.
I'm really glad that being under his supervision made us closer with each other. I feel like I'm one step closer to getting his heart. Kapag talaga nangyari 'yun baka magpafiesta nalang ako sa amin!
"Okay last question before I go back to work," aniya.
Hindi ko maiwasang malungkot nang dahil doon. But I couldn't blame him though. Parehas kami na may trabaho at ano mang oras ay maaaring may tumawag sa amin. Masaya lang talaga ako na napagbigyan niya ako ngayong araw.
I will totally cherish this day so much!
"A 9 year old boy is suffering from greasy foul watery stool of 2 weeks duration accompanied with abdominal cramps and abdominal distention. You are entertaining the possibility of Giardiasis but the stool examinations done thrice were negative. What is the next best procedure?"
I look away from him to think of an answer. I remember studying about this back in college. Isa 'to sa mga subjects na na-enjoy ko so how can I forget about this? My professor once told us before that the bacteria always involved in intestinal tract belonged in the family Enterobacteriaceae.
So, I tried to think of all the tests done for that specific genus.
"The physician should request for an entero test or string test."
Lucas nods his head. "That's correct. Sigurado ka bang light reading lang talaga ang ginawa mo? You answer almost all of my questions correctly."
Kung alam mo lang... ginagalingan ko lang talagang mag-sagot para ma-amaze ka...
"Well, magaling 'yung nagtuturo, e." nakangiti kong sinabi.
Humalakhak siya at umiling. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa akin. Nang dahil sa pag-iwas niya ng tingin, nakita ko ang pamumula ng tainga niya.
