A Doctor Is Also a Human Being
Nowadays, nobody's perfect.. Yep! Even doctors.
For the past 2 days, I had viral illness, prompting me to miss my duties at the hospital (even the activities of being on 24 hr duty). My symptoms - fever, headache, body malaise, cough & colds, hoarseness. In short, the typical flu-like symptoms. My signs - congested pharynx but thanks to the lozenges I've been taking since monday night, the congestion was short-lived. My diagnosis: systemic viral illness (SVI). No need for any antibiotics at this time. Thankfully, I didn't had any rashes, nor bleeding episodes, nor abdominal pain (except when I was hungry. Haha!), nor passage of any dark colored stools. Or else, I would be having dengue and God knows where I will be admitted to. Fortunately, my fever's gone now, and I'm back into action tomorrow.
As usual, I'll face the consequences of my absence today. I asked one of my groupmates to go on duty today to cover for me. As for my part, I'll go on duty tomorrow and on sunday. Unless, some miracle will happen on my favor (which I believe will not actually happen. Asa pa ako, no?) The monitors know my duty schedule since I already informed them about it so that they won't worry who's going to be on duty today & tomorrow.
I hope I'll be able to handle the pressure tomorrow. I hope my body can handle the stress. I hope my mind can fight the emotional & psychological pain.
Good luck to me! I need it.
