MD = Manong Duties?
 |
NICU Manong Starter pack.
Nakakadismaya at nakakapagod. Why do future MDs doing this anyway? we honestly learn nothing from it?

After
listening to my fellow interns (especially PGIs or Post-Graduate Interns from
other medschools) comparing the internship training from other hospitals, I
just realized how much we students have been living with disappointments in
this field of training. Really, a lot of "ideal" things could have
been done to maximize our learning and training for our final year in this
prestigious hospital and yet, we end up doing the things that are not actually
"suitable"
for future doctors to do. (Read: magtulak ng stretcher, mag-akyat-baba ng lab
results, etc. instead of directly taking care of patients or reviewing for the
boards?) *well, not all the time naman ganito nangyayari... pero still, di
talaga siya maganda tingnan.
I know, this
has always been the norm. That our previous alumni and now professors have
experienced far worst than these. But really, is there nothing else we could do
to change it? For, let say, making it more "future-doctor friendly"?
I
know there is this big issue of lack of man-power. But is it really wise to use
your medical interns (after all the years of medical training) to do these scut
works? why not hire more workers who could help? Aren't we wasting too much
human reasources kung yung mga doctor-to-be natin nagiging "manong"
na lang? Sobrang sayang po. Sobrang unfair sa mga magiging future patients
namin.
The
questions we now keep on pondering:
Are we all doing these because this is the least we could do to help our
patients?
or
Are
we simply following it because it is just what was and has always been in this
vicious cycle of "tradition"?
