Was at Starbucks Coffee store in the AM today. As I was getting my coffee from the counter, a man who was sitting in one of the high stools collapsed and fell backwards hitting the back part of his head on the edge of the wooden sofas. I triaged the man and stabilized him while I asked the workers to call the paramedics. The patient , whose name was Mike, held my hand when I laid him on the sofa and asked, "will I be alright? I don't have health insurance, you know." I reiterated to him, "you will be alright, Mike, you will be fine." He turned to me and asked, "What is your name, sir?". I answered him, "My name is Albrando Lorenzo." Within 5 minutes the Paramedics / EMTs came and escorted Mike to the nearest hospital.

The starbucks workers gave me 4 free coffee passes for the "rapid help". Talk about being at the right place and at the right time.

I hope Mike is alright.

And with that, my day started.

Today's unpredictable incident allowed me to ponder and discern on the verse from Sacred Scripture:
"Beloved, do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." (Philippians 2:4)

It reminds me, and I hope that it also reminds all of us that it is good to give back to people and help those who are in need. Tho my assistance towards Mike today was , in my opinion, very minscule, I know that it was a reminder for me from GOD to focus on giving and doing things without expecting anything in return. That , if you do good and stay true to God, He will provide. Always....

May God Bless all of us, my dear brothers and sisters in the Faith. Have a Blessed Day!

Imung igsoon,
Bran Lorenzo

I had to change my car battery today. It took me forever to loosen the bolts from the battery holder tho. I need to stop by the auto body shop tomorrow to make sure it tightened properly. Thanks God, I didn't freeze outside while I was changing the battery!

Good Morning,

The itme is 10:29 AM here in Chicago, Illinois, USA. I woke up to a dread sight: SNOW! And a lot of it. Looks like a foot of snow has been poured on top of Chicago's streets and I am getting ready to go out and shovel my car out of snow. Not a pretty sight, nope, not at all! Thank God I am not on-call today or working. We have a faculty meeting this coming 27th and then a "skype" faculty meeting with some members of Northwestern faculty on the 25th. There is a graduation ceremony on February, several of my former students are going to be graduating so i have to attend ..proud pod ko that naka pasar sila sa ilang boards!

The other day I had a call from one of my former students -- to inform me that he passed his Electrocardiography Technician Board Examination , and then I got a call form one of my other former students also passed his Advanced EKG Tech Board Exam as well. I was so proud of them! They called to thank me for the instruction and for giving them "tips" on the exam. hahaha! There really is no describing the feeling of knowing that you have helped someone succeed ... it is priceless!

It's time to go out now. There is a job that must be done---Shoveling Snow!

To all in here: Have a Great Day/ Have a Good Night! May God Bless us all.

Best,
Bran Lorenzo

i watched a 45-minute fireworks display from our window. luckily from our vantage point the chinese new year fireworks of the mall of asia in manila were quite near. i wished our 10-year-old was with us to enjoy the show.

there are no sirens yet... good. there are no fires in the vicinity after all, unlike last december 31 when a fire that broke out was just two blocks away. and it looks like there won't be any smog in manila tomorrow morning. now i know there's a difference between fireworks and firecrackers.

I am currently looking for the proper MEDICAL RESIDENCY program that can best fit my future goals and aspirations. I have laid down the following possible Residency specializations that I will target this coming year: General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry.

I have talked to some MEDICAL RESIDENTS in the area of the possibility of "scramming" for possible residency spots here in the Greater Chicago Area. I might have to look into that when the time comes closer.

Right now, as RESIDENCY MATCHES are coming up, and my upcoming USMLE (United States Licensing Examination) , I am truly in a state of excitement and nervousness.

I hope and pray to God that my spirit remains calm during this time. Please pray for me, guys.

February 1, 2012

I just finished a 24 hour on-call shift today. Was in the hospital since 7:00 AM yesterday, and just got discharged from on-call shift at 7:00 PM right now. I was supposed to be done by 7:00 AM this morning, however, because 1 medical intern was not able to come in today, I was asked to stay in for another half shift. What was supposed to be an "extra 4-5 hours" was extended to another 12 hours. So , my "24-hour on-call shift" became a 36 hour on-call shift.

I slept only 5 hours during the on-call shift because of the admissions we had in the Psychiatry Department. Since it was the beginning of the month, we had a lot of Suicidal patients, schizophrenic patients, schizoid patients, bipolar patients, major depressive patients, and even catatonic patients admitted. Ay ka libog kaayo.

I did not like having to run around from room to room, doing most of the admission reports when there were supposed to be 5 medical interns present and 3 attending M.Ds. Because of some very lazy medical intern who was in our group, some of us were forced to do most of the work in patient history , prognosis and ordering lab tests.

I was so very annoyed at how some people , who are expected to see patients and fulfill their clinical rotation requirements , expect others to do their share of work. At work, I am not so very vocal because I like to maintain a very professional , professional demeanor, but when certain medical interns do patient reports as required , it is very unnerving when 2 others are too busy laughing and making jokes. I don't understand how it takes 2 hours to finish only 4 patient files. Jonathan, Bruce and I were able to finish 12 each in that time, however, certain interns thought it more important to joke around.

Perhaps the reason for my irritability was because of my lack of sleep. I feel that my circadian rhythm has been out of place for the past week; the toll of these excruciating rotations is putting a toll on me. By chosing to stay an extra 12 hours, I thought to help out the undermanned staff in the Psychiatry Department, however, it is very unnerving when medical interns who didn't do 24-hour on calls were unable to do their job properly. It is so very inconsiderate of them. The should be reminded of the importance of "TEAM WORK".

I am happy I don't have to go in tomorrow. Friday , tho, I have another 24-on call shift. I pray to God it doesn't become another 36-hour shift.

Oh, truly, these are the "slave" years....

This week has been a very busy week. At 2 AM in the morning today, I went to the physician sleeping room to lay down and get some sleep. I went to bed at 2:20 am, and i was woken up at 3:30 am because some patient who was admitted the previous night was experiencing acute psychosis. It was a code gray. I cannot believe that there was no one else they could call, they had to wake me up after only starting to sleep!

Hospital staff should show some respect for people who are trying to sleep, and if it is an emergency, should knock on the door instead of barging in and turning on the light and yelling to get up.

If it is a psychotic patient, sedate lang sija with Haloperidol. Don't make such a big deal about it. Because of that incident, my "5 hour sleep" wasn't even sleep. It was 5 hours of trying to sleep. YATAPS!

This is the last week for my Psychiatry Clinical Rotation, thanks be God I am done with that elective rotation.

Would I consider applying for MEDICAL RESIDENCY for Psychiatry?

Yes, I wouldn't mind. One thing that I like about it is the complex nature of the specialty, it truly is like playing a puzzle in trying to identifying the patient disorder, understanding the best mode of treatment / therapy , and all at the same time keeping a check on their medical history , drug interaction.

I was really touched by this verse that i read just now, and it is truly correct. If we can help a brother or sister by any way, especially if he or she is suffering, even if it be small financial help or through a prayer, it is an example of Christ-like behavior. And is pleasing to The Lord.

â€œCarry each otherâ€™s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.â€
- Galatians 6:2
