The other night an Indian patient of mine at the cardiology ICU died. He's on a coma for two weeks now. There's no relative and just an employer who couldn't even decide on what to do with him. He was brain dead though. So the doctor's decided not to resuscitate him.
The next night shift, the nurses called me up and asked for my assistance in resuscitating an old Emirati patient. The doctor pronounced the time of death after a few minutes.
There's no relatives present too. No one knows how to contact his family.
I don't know why, but I'm starting to think that, was it me or what that every night I have patients dying!
urgh!
After preparing some paper works, and headed back to our office, I just thought to myself, I don't wanna die like this. Like my two patients...its just so...sad.
I've been around death all the time...its part of my hospital life, I know that. But a death with no one to grieve your passing is pitiful.
You're on a foreign land, working, or you grew old here, suddenly you get sick, you get into a coma, or you had a cardiac arrest...and then you die...
I was on the hallway about to enter the ICU where I am assigned and the voice of Mel kept on playing over and over again to my ears when we had a conversation at his car earlier:
"ask him out already...ang bagal mo!"
He was referring to R.A his new colleague and my new crush-crushie hehe. I kinda like his nerdy-virginal-soft spoken-character and dark skinned too! Damn! I have so many adjective for him!hehehe.
I like him. As in so much that I'm almost thinking of him every day. I'm just not sure if he likes me too or if he likes straight guys or gay guys too! Its hard to read him!
Its been a few days since I showed interest in him. But I still haven't gone far at all! All I did was to make smile and make-pacute at him and invited him at my face book and had a few chat!
I took a deep breath and spotted him immediately at patient number 3...its his patient I assumed. I didn't go at him yet, instead I went to check on patient number 1...took my time till patient number 2 and when I'm about to see his patient number 3, he's already facing me and was giving me something on his hand....
"hey, here's the pen that I promised to give you..." he said smiling. Oh my gosh, I was about to melt. I mean, I almost forgot that i asked for that same pen like 4 days ago, but here he is still honoring that promise...*kilig*
"thank you! you remembered!" I said and kept the pen to my pocket. and thought: I won't use this pen ever and will kiss it goodnight everytime! Chos!
"of course". he said and went back to his paper works.
I continued on my rounds and Mel whispered "did you invited him out already?"
"not yet! atat ka?sasama ka sa lakad?!" and we laughed together.
When I finally got the chance to approach him alone, I took a deep breath and started a conversation:
"you know what, I hated my friends..."
"huh? why is that?"
"I was asking them since last week to see a movie on I-max, but they didn't say yes, but I found out they saw it yesterday when I was at duty! Imagine!" this is actually a true story haha I didnt make it up, but decided to use the situation on my favor.
"wow I-max. What movie you wanted to see?" he asked.
"The Green Hornet."
"hey that's still new! I've heard some good reviews about it."
I saw the excitement from his eyes. Hmmm, I think he likes the idea of going to see a movie. This is good. I took a deep breath once again and said the magic words:
"Come with me, lets see it together..." I nervously laughed and tap his shoulders for some reason that I don't know! LOL and I just walked away from him and see other patient's chart without knowing his answer!
Grrrrrrr! Stupid! Stupid!
When I calmed down and back to my relaxed self again. I approached him once again and sat in front of his table. Tutukan ko na toh! LOL
I saw Gil, his preceptor (his teacher since R.A is only new to the job) which is my friend by the way. I secretly sent him away from us so that I could have R.A for myself alone!
"so R.A, what now? come lets watch The Green Hornet this weekend"
"where do they have the Imax here?"
"At the villagio".
"How much is the entrance?"
"not that much... I think around 55 riyals"
"expensive..."
"kuripot mo!"
"hahaha I haven't have my paycheck yet Mac. So technically I'm still poor!" and we both laugh at his remarks. When I looked around I saw Mel, Gil and Ate Luz watching us with a giant silent teasing smile on their face! natawa ako sa itsura nila!
I was about to say that the date is on me, that's when his monitors started alarming. He got so busy that I was left hanging again!
Pakshet!
When I approached ate Luz she said: "o ano, napasagot mo na ba?" (did he say yes?) with a voice so loud that R.A might hear at the other side!!!
Orlando Bloom having his coffee. I could see some bulge in his shorts there! Yummy!
Good morning guys! Its 10:00 am here and I just had my breakfast today, I had salted eggs and fried rice, and I poured in green tea with milk (labay-kape daw yun) on it and it tasted really good, felt like I'm having breakfast in the Philippines lang!
I did my 16hrs straight duty last night, from 2pm to 10pm to 6am!!!I'm so needing that sleep right now. Pero blog muna haha. I was so busy, calls here and there! I was literally visiting patients from all floors! I was so freakin' tired!
Anyway I will sleep the whole day today since it is my day off!
Oh my gulay...lovely lips and that tongue? sexyyyy! I'm fainting! LOL
