Why give chances?

In order for a medicine to reach its therapeutic effect, it has to be computed with its appropriate amount of therapeutic dose. There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” As for I, happiness is about giving chances.

When I was in college, I have this note in front of my study table saying, “Wake up, Haze! You are dealing with lives.” After I passed my nursing licensure exam, I took NMAT and applied in San Beda College then for medicine. Everyday, the struggle is real, my exams are tedious. When I’m stressed with my unending exams (every med student knows exactly what I mean), I cry, I go shopping, go to sleep and forget everything for a while. Then, I would go back on my table and study again ‘cause I have no choice, “kinayat mo deta” (you wanted that), as what my dad would always tell me. Having used to it, it became not just a routine but a habit. Mmhh, I wonder how many dresses and shoes I already bought during med school? Haha..

Going through clerkship, my focus was only to pass every revalida and exams of my 10-month rotation. All I wanted to happen during those days was to look forward for my from duty status without realizing the real essence of what I really wanted.

Here comes internship: new faces, new environment. I became more mature and more independent because I am the only Bedan in my batch. Stepping up on my own was both a goal and a challenge.

Struggles are never ending, it is a result of of my tears and mixed emotions. Since I am on my residency training, I always hear echoes in my head which also gives shivers down my spine which says, “wake up Haze, you are dealing with lives!” (I’m not having auditory hallucinations, okay? Lol)

Despite my incapabilities, my doubts and fears, I have learned to appreciate that dealing with lives is about giving chances. Giving patients another chance to be with their family and friends and to live happy and meaningfully.
