"Dra., may rounds ka na po ngayon sa internal medicine ward." paalala sa'kin ni Nurse Lory. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag dahil sa wakas ay makakaalis na ako dito sa maalikabok kong opisina and got the chance to walk around for an exercise na rin.

"At last..." mahina kong sabi. "Thank you. Will be there in a minute. Mag-aayos lang ako. Tawagan nalang kita pag nakadaan na ako sa nurse station for assistance." I said to her and she walked away.

I closed all the folders I studied and piled it on one corner. Nilapag ko lahat ito sa ibabaw ng bookshelf nang hindi magalaw ni Angge kapag may kailangan siyang kunin sa mga drawers ko. Actually I'm not yet don finalizing all the cases they gave me dahil puro nasa komplikadong sitwasyon lahat iyon, understandable naman dahil mas maalam ako kaysa sa mga baguhang nakikita ko dito sa ospital. Konting suklay lang at pulbo, lumabas na ako ng opisina. There, I called out Lory, pushing her cart full of injectables and medicines with her paraphernalias included.

Nangangatog ang kamay ko nang nakita kong malapit na kami sa ward. Okay, calm down Reg. Kaya mo to. Expert ka dito diba? Nagawa mo na to dati dito at pati na rin sa London. You've done this before, no need to panic and be nervous. This will be just a piece of cake. Breath in, breath out.

"Good morning." bati ko nang pumasok ako nang ward. I may be going there just for one person but saying a greeting to everybody is a different story.

"Good morning, Dra." sambit naman ng mga watcher at ng pasyente. Nabalot naman ng bulung-bulungan ang ward. They were muttering and uttering words about something I can't understand.

Nilapitan ko na ang pasyenteng kailangan kong i-assess as pointed by Nurse Lory. I examined her face, her features—nakatingin lang ito sa malayo. May benda ito sa ulo, suffering from a bone fracture in the head according to the file Pops gave me. I cleared my throat before uttering, "Good morning, Ms. Delos Santos. I am your neurosurgeon, your case is assigned under my supervision."

Hindi ito sumagot at nakatingin lang ito sa'kin. 

"Uhm...can we check on you?" tanong ko at marahan naman siyang tumango. Nurse Lory checked her signs and once she was finished, lumayo na ito sa pasyente. Ako naman ang lumapit at nilagay ang kamay ko sa ulo niyang nakabenda. I pressed it and I found the part which Ms. Delos Santos reacted because she suffered pretty much pain. This was the center of the fracture. Okay, left side of the head. 

Agad namang binigay ni Lory ang medical records ng pasyente. I swooped a ballpen on my pocket and wrote my observations denoting about her fracture. I didn't bother to ask her about anything, instead went on the other side of the bed and opened her drawers to check on her medicine. Alam kong may naunang neuro na nakapag-alaga sa kanya so I'm just checking if he or she gave the right dose of medication. Mahirap na.

Kinuha ko agad ang isang set ng gamot na nakalagay sa isang maliit na ziplock case. I opened it at nilapag lahat ng gamot sa ibabaw ng drawer. "Paracetamol...neurogen-e....pharex....damn, these are all branded and localized. Anong klaseng doktor ang magbibigay sa isang pasyente ng ganito ka cheap na gamot? Hello, nag St.Luke's pa siya!" pagmamaktol ko. 

Instead of venting out my anger, niresetahan ko nalang ito ng ibang gamot. I wrote it on my personalized paper with my sign on it for a month worth of validity. I gave the receipt to her. "Here. Yan na ang mga bagong gamot mo. If you're insisting of using those lowlife products, wala na akong magagawa. Tell your watcher about this. You can now go back on what you were doing. Tapos na."
