Lami kaayo macaroons!!!

Lami bitaw. I stopped by a cafe by Andersonville, which is a Swedish enclave here in northern Chicago. The coffee was quite strong, I should have known it would be strong since it said, "Swedish Style"

The people who served it were quite nice, pleasing to the eyes.

last saturday at almost midnight, a big fire broke out right across the street.  3 kids, all toddlers, perished.

i was ready, in case.  our two recently-rescued-off-the-street kittens were already in their carrier, and beside the carrier was my permanent "emergency bag" (containing valuables, legal documents, some cash, and a change of clothes).  i figured i can carry both while running.  and since we just came from watching a pyromusical contest (china vs. the netherlands in this instance) at the mall of asia and hadn't changed to house clothes, i simply changed from high heels to running shoes.

glad we heard an anticipated mass before the pyromusical contest. 

I'm sorry to hear about this, may their souls rest in peace.

Had a long day today. I had a patient who underwent a code blue, patient had a ventricular fibrillation, which eventually went into asystole. I was able to revive her after efforts to defibrillate the patient. I thought we were going to lose her. We saved her. Thank God.

Like I said, today was a long day.

We gave the patient 3 boluses of epinephrine, then defibrillation protocol. After 7 minutes, i feared we lost her. But after the last try, her EKG showed appearance of a dimmer pqrs, then it came back. It was very close...

Today, i saw something very sad. An 8 year old patient who was a gun-shot wound victim (due to a gang drive by shooting). Patient could not be saved , one of my friends who was one of the interns trying to revive the patient in the ER really took the kid's death pretty hard. It was sad. A wasted life. That kid was in the wrong place , at the wrong time.

The gang shooting situation here in Chicago is bad. I hope that the police solves this endemic. Such an unnecessary loss of life.

Evanston, Illinois:

Another long day. Attended my clinical duties, then drove to Northwestern to teach an evening class from 5:00 pm till 9:30 pm. I am so tired.

this goes without saying... hold on, just hold on, lorenz.  we all know that being a doctor requires all the stamina there is, and more.

It's funny how everyone is clamoring for more money, money and money. I have a friend who was offered a position at a hospital near by with a base salary of $275,000 + Health Benefits, 401K plan etc. My fried rescinded the offer because it was " Not enough" for him.

I told him, "Why would you rescind that offer? How much is "enough" for you ? "

Money really does change people...tsk.

There are days when I feel really stretched out because of the stress of work, Isles. At my age, I need to get married soon. I can't help but ask myself sometimes, "Why am i working so hard for?" I should start a family soon.

Many of my friends are already married, have kids. And I find myself still dating, and still scared to take the relationship to the next level.

As much as I want to start a family and married life, I must not be too selfish. I am the eldest of 4, and I still have 2 younger siblings. I must not forget about them. Ma luoy pod ko sa ahong inahan og ahong amahan ga tigulang na. Ma luoy ko nga mo trabaho pa sila karon. So, I must do what I must to help the family.

Must not think too much of myself, but remember my family. Dali ra pod ko ma luoy sa akong paryente didto sa Bohol. So much more people to help.

Gimingaw ko ni Lolo Ciano.


Karon sa trabaho, naghinuktuk lagi ko sa ahong Lolo. Sigoro nag hinumdum pod sija nako, mao sigoro naka hinuktuk ko nija.

he could be cheering you up.

hehe! mao sigoro, isles. mo tawag ko nija karong weekend. every time i call our valencia residence, og maka dungog na gajud ko nija, puerting mo hilak gajud ko. it's hard to talk when i'm crying. lol.

Mo ingon ra sija, "Halo , Ondoy! Kamusta naman ka, nakalimot na ka nako?" Na...mo dagan na ang ahoang luha...

I will call him this weekend.

Ah. Thank God it's a Friday.

Going out. Time to relax and unwind.

Gonna call my Lolo today after the graduation ceremony.

Lo', I want to say that I miss you. I know that you can't read this, pero, ipagawasan lang sa ahong kasingkasing og sa ahong dughan.
Lo', di ko ka limot nimo , kai ikaw ra man ahong Lolo nga ning raise nako, og pinangga nako kaayo.
Moingon ka nako sa una sa bata pa ko nga hapit na ko mo adto sa aeroplano mo gikan sa america, "Balik Balik ha , Ondoy"
I miss you so much, and I love you. Gusto ko mo gakos nimo, 'lo.
Gusto na ko mo balik sa Bohol kai gusto ko makita nimo.

"Balik Balik ha , Ondoy"

and you did!  nagbalik-balik gyod tuod ka!

the usual.  rising late, some housework, a brief tb look-see, then off to attend anticipated mass followed by shopping for the coming week's groceries supply and other household sundry.  i am mentioning all this as the backdrop of my day's highlight-- the homily at the mass.

it's been a long time since i laughed over a homily.  the last, long ago and far away, was when the priest suddenly sang simon and garfunkel's "el condor pasa" (i'm posting this song in tb later).

the homily, delivered in taglish, was about anger and hatred.  i'll pass on the summary in cebuano-visayan here.

kining kasuko di sala kay pagbati man ni.  anha mahimong sala kun way pasayloay.  (nihunghong ko aning dapita kang banana republic; ang nasuko man ang focus, di man ang rason nganong nasuko, ingon ko niya.)

dunay duha ka managsilingan.  nagsuk-anay, nagsuyaay.  kun mopalit ang usa ug awto, mopalit sad ang usa.  kun magpa-deliver ug bag-ong refrigerator ang usa, magpa-deliver pod ug mas dako nga refrigerator ang usa.  (mga baye gyod ning klaro nga mga silingana.  tagsa man god kaayo ang laki nga ingon anig batasan.  naa gyod hinoon, magpinusilay pa man gani tingali usahay, pero di gyod pareha sa mga baye nga kadaghanan, hehe.)  tibuok katilingban kahibawo sa panagbangi aning duha. 

unya naay hermitanyo nga may powers (opkors, apil sa katilingban ang hermitanyo bisan di kaayo magpakita kay hermitanyo god) nga ni-offer sa usa aning managsilingan nga ihatag niya bisan unsay gusto, sa kondisyon nga doblehon kini paghatag ni senyor hermitanyo sa iyang kontra.

sa maong kondisyon nihangyo ang silingan nga babayeng tang-an nga butahon ang iyang usa ka mata.

Happy Sunday to everyone. Peace and Blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with everyone.

Hope all is good in mind and body.

The time is 9:21 AM. Am at work, and my goodness, we are busy today. Been in the hospital since 3PM yesterday. Another 36 hour on-call shift.

I am very sleepy now. Still have have another 12 hours to go.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi Guys! Hope everyone's week was productive and filled with austerity and productivity. Thank Goodness its Friday!

This week was definitely filled with a lot of difficult circumstances, trying times with patients as well as with the beauty of the work place. It is a mix of feelings , a mixed environment, really. Balancing the time in being a Medical Intern and also being a Clinical Instructor keeps me on my toes. Yet, despite it all, despite the responsibilities, I love it. The feeling of satisfaction in seeing nursing students "understand" a concept. The sound of their voices reiterating, " Oh Now I get It!" , it truly is priceless.

A physician is not only one who treats, but a physician also teaches, educates, and in doing so better ascertains his own footing and understanding. To teach is to learn. To instruct is to gain wisdom. Truly.



In austerity,
Lorenzo

Dearest Friends,

I was really touched today. After finishing my hospital rounds, I went to Northwestern's Campus to finish reporting grades at the Department of Nursing & Allied Health. I was really touched because one of the secretaries came up to me and said, "Dr. Lucino, your students wanted you to have this card. They really are going to miss you!"

The class that I was teaching was Medical Terminology, which is a prerequisite for Nursing Students. The class ended on March 14, 2012 and I had developed a fond relationship with many of my students. Many of whom were twice my own age. lol.

I was really touched and deeply inspired by their card for me. I could not help but cry.

Mo share ko ani diri:

Truly,

The greatest reward is in knowing you made a difference in someone's educational and professional career. I am so proud of my Nursing Students. I know they will be GREAT nurses someday.

Went down to the Bayou early today to take picture of heavy fog; came back around 4pm to join our Men's Club for our 1st Lenten Fish Friday! 

Saturday, March 17, 2012 7PM... Attended a birthday party!!! She's a Filipina married to a Homeland Security guy from Texas...

Celebrated St. Patty's Day with friends.

Had a good work schedule today at the hospital. I talked with my good friend Dr. Villa about doing an observancy with a local hospital we both know about. Anyways, Dr. Villa is a good guy as we were both able to talk and bond today. He is an M.D who graduated from Western Visayas State University College of Medicine in Iloilo City.

We are also both instructing the Nursing Entrance Exams at Northwestern. Both of us attended the conference today with ATI representatives, it was productive. The Director of Allied Health Department, a Tagalog, said to us, "Oh! We have Bisayans taking control of the entrance exams. One is a doctor from Iloilo and the other a doctor from Bohol" hehe

That's good. Father R, eat a lot of green veggies. Eat a lot of lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, zuccini (you can boil them), don't add any salt or anything just eat it as is. If you eat a healthy amount of green veggies every day and drink water , you can substantially decrease your triglyceride levels.

A good way to reduce triglyceride levels, besides medicine, is eating a good amount of Green Leafy Vegetables.

You are taking you Omega 3,6 Fatty Acids , right? If you are not, you need to start taking that because it is Cardio-Protective. If you are taking it then, good, keep on taking it religiously.

Starting this week, I am now taking up a veggie diet and augmenting that with more constant exercise.

I'm taking LOVASA 4x a day. Thanks, Bran! 

Today I got a phone call from a former student in my Pharmacy Technology Class, which I had taught in September 2011. This student called to tell me that he had passed his Pharmacy Technician Board Exam. Now he is an official CPhT (Certified Pharmacy Technologist). This person was a delivery driver before going to college for Pharmacy Technology. I was really touched by his life experiences and the difficulties he had to go through.

With education, one's possibilities become limitless. I am so proud of him. He said to me, "I could not have done it with out your teaching, Doctor." I had said to him in reply, "No, it was all about you, Aslam! See how successful you can be if you APPLY yourself!"

God Bless him.

Okay,you are taking Lovastatin, that is a HMG COA-Inhibitor. That is given to lower your cholesterol level; it reduces your LDL (bad cholesterol) and can elevate your HDL (good cholesterol). It has some ability to reduce your Triglycerides, pero not so good. I HIGHLY recommend, in fact, I ENDORSE that you eat A LOT of green veggies from now on, Father R. Eat a lot of lettuce, a lot of broccoli, a lot of zuccini, a lot of bachoy, etc etc every day na gajud.

Trust me, in one month, go check your TRIGS and it will be reduced.

For you, anything.

you're sure about bachoy, lorenz?  could it be that you meant pechay?  or is there a vegetable called bachoy?  the batchoy i know is an ilonggo dish, the best there is i must say.  its main ingredient of course is noodles, but its charm is in its soup.

in that one batchoy place (near the capitol of cebu) i used to frequent as a young working girl, i learned that they simmer beef, chicken and pork bones continuously in a big vat, 24 hours a day.  meats, entrails, crushed chicharon, raw egg, fried garlic and a variety of condiments top off the noodles cooked in the bowl only by the simmering soup that they ladle from the vat.  whatever veggies there were, these were usually slivers of cabbage, spring onions and mint, which add color and esthetics aside from their hint of flavor.

since all the main ingredients were clipped with kitchen scissors directly to the bowl, our joke then was their batchoy is so good because it includes the chef's fingernails.

thanks.  will do that before sleeping. 

i have resorted to alaxan (ibuprofen paracetamol) hours ago because the pain is rendering my left arm almost immobile (sometimes, i tackle the computer keys with only one hand; touch system for the keys is useless now).  it helped a bit.  this over-the-counter medicine scares me.  i know someone who has lupus because of this, or so she claims.  so i'm very spare about taking this.

as for sleeping, it's not so good.  the doctor had prescribed sleepasil.  she said it's no longer that easy to prescribe stillnox here because they need a special license for such medicines, and most of the licensed ones are psychiatrists.  it looks like sleepasil doesn't help much, especially if i'm agitated.

i have resorted to alaxan (ibuprofen paracetamol) hours ago because the pain is rendering my left arm almost immobile (sometimes, i tackle the computer keys with only one hand; touch system for the keys is useless now).  it helped a bit.  this over-the-counter medicine scares me.  i know someone who has lupus because of this, or so she claims.  so i'm very spare about taking this.

as for sleeping, it's not so good.  the doctor had prescribed sleepasil.  she said it's no longer that easy to prescribe stillnox here because they need a special license for such medicines, and most of the licensed ones are psychiatrists.  it looks like sleepasil doesn't help much, especially if i'm agitated.

I hope that you were able to get some recuperative sleep, isles. Kanang warning sa imong amigo, it is very correct. There are alot of drugs that can cause Drug-Induced Lupus. So long as you don't take it chronically. In fact the drugs that can cause drug-induced lupus are HIPP (Hydralazine, Isoniazide, Phenytoin, Procainamide)

Septrin, ibuprofen, sulfa drugs, don't cause drug-induced lupus as such, but they can exacerbate true underlying lupus, & cause lupus flares. Ibuprofen Paracetamol will not cause lupus, but has the ability to exacerbate an underlying lupus. Your friend had a dormant or minor form of SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus), which did not flare up until your friend started to abuse the Ibuprofen Paracetamol.

Hope you feel better, dear. Try switching body positions if you can't sleep.

Isles, in the hospital, when it is my turn to "sleep" during on-call hours, i try to switch around on the sofa chair. 2 hours on one side, then 2 hours on the other. Luoy pod kai we are only allowed 4 hour sleep during our 36 hour on-calls.

Spring Cleaning !

and you manage to keep yourself sane?   or are you?

woke up after a full seven-hour sleep, after a long time.  maybe i'll keep away from my laptop after 10 pm from now on.  that will lead me not into temptation.  maybe magdokdok lang kog tb kun gabii na kaayo if the banana republic has a function somewhere and i have to stay up to wait.

di na pod ko manglaba kun gabii na, hehe.

purya, pagmata nako ganina i was terrified.  baho na diay kaayo ko.  kahilakon ko kay naunsa na man ni nga tinuod man diay nga mawos nga ginamos sa taga sa balingsya na man gyod diay tawon ko.  sa naulian na kog buot, whew, lipaya nako uy nga di diay ako ang nanimaho.  nagprito diay si banana republic ug buwad danggit, nanimaho ang tibuok balay, hahaha!

Di ko mo tug sa hospital, but when I get home, I usually collapse on my couch and take a 5 to 6 hour "nap nap"

bwahahahaha!

at least, unlike our senator miriam santiago here before, you don't eat death threats for breakfast.
