Yey! Got out of the hospital alive... praise the Lord! 

Praise be His Name ! How was your day today, Father? Okey ka lang dyan?

Clinical Example:

A nurse has episodes of hypoglycemia. Blood analysis reveals no elevation in C-protein.

Diagnosis: Insulin injections, secondary to factitious disorder.

Putting too much emotions on something that is not so serious. HEK293 are nothing but polyclonal proteins. It is the same mechanism in how people take synthetic insulin, which is a clonal derivative. It is the same mechanism as how some people drink "Lactase-infused Milk" , which is taken by Lactose-Intolerant people. The "lactase-infusion" comes from synthetic human lactase gene. The same biochemical infusion techniques applies for the HEK293 polyclonal derivative.

Excessive unnecessary clamor.

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!

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....   

(an actual USMLE Step 2 CK Board Question)


You are on call and receive a call from a nurse asking if she can give some sleep medicine or diphenhydramine to an elderly patient with mild dementia who is currently hospitalized in the ICU for MI. What do you give the patient?


Answer: Immediately tell the nurse NOT to give benadryl. Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) has anti-cholinesterase  side effects and can cause delirium to this patient.

Preferred Action: Order the nursing staff to give antidepressant TRAZODONE (a tetracyclic) or give Haloperidol because it has lower anti-cholinesterase activity.

MEDICAL OBJECTIVE: Never give anti-cholinesterase drugs to MI patients.

Thanks for the kind reminder, Manay Tess.

Before, homosexuality / transgender issues was considered a medical pathology, as indicated by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorderes). However, because of political and social rights activists, homosexuality and transgender issues is no longer included in the DSM. It is now considered normal.

Tho, there are a plethora of psychologists and psychiatrists who would say that there is some kind of underlying genetic/environmental catalyst to said formation of  homosexuality.

AXIS 1 Psychiatric Evaluation/ Didactics:


OCD -- Recurring , intrusive thoughts, feelings, or sensations (obsessions) that cause severe distress; relieved in part by the performance of repetitive actions (compulsions). Ego dystonic: behavior inconsistent with one's own beliefs and attitudes (vs. obsessive-compulsive personality disorder).

Note: there is a significant association with Tourette's Disorder

Clinical Treatment: SSRIs, Clomipramine

Clinically speaking, the best way to treat patients with cluster personality disorders (A,B,C) is moreso through therapy rather than pharmacology.

Therapy vis-a-vis a Psychiatrist or a Clinical Psychologist is effective.

CLUSTER A PERSONALITY DISORDERS

-Odd or eccentric; inability to develop meaningful social relationships. No psychosis; genetic association with Schizophrenia

Types:
1) Paranoid: pervasive distrust and suspiciousness;
projection is a major immature defense mechanism

2) SCHIZOID : voluntary social withdrawal, limited emotional expression, content with social isolation (vs. avoidant)

3) Schizotypal: eccentric appearance, odd beliefs, or magical thinking, interpersonal awkwardness

CLUSTER B PERSONALITY DISORDERS

-Dramatic, emotional, erratic; genetic association with mood disorders and substance abuse

Types:
1) Antisocial - Disregard for and violation of rights of others, criminality; males > females; conduct disorders < 18 y/o
2)Borderline - Unstable mood and interpersonal relationships, impulsiveness, self-mutilation, sense of emptiness; females > males; splitting is a major defense mechanism

3) Histrionic - Excessive emotionality and excitability, sexually provocative, overly concerned with abnormal appearance

AXIS 1 Psychiatric Evaluation/ Didactics:

on

CLUSTER C PERSONALITY DISORDERS

-Anxious or fearful; genetic association with anxiety disorders

Types:
1) Avoidant: hypersensitive to rejection, socially inhibited, timid, feelings of inadequacy, desires relationship with others (vs. SCHIZHOID)
2) Obsessive Compulsive - Preoccupation with order, perfectionism, and control; ego syntonic: behavior consistent with one's own beliefs and attitudes (vs. OCD)
3) Dependent - Submissive and clinging, excessive need to be taken care of, low self-confidence



PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION; TREATMENT:
- Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy
- Neuroleptics for secondary psychomorphologies

Please note:

For patients who are suffering from major clinical depression , depressive moods, and are taking SSRIs (Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Citalopram) for their condition, please AVOID the abrupt cessation of drugs.

Abrupt cessation of SSRIs can lead to --- > SSRI Withdrawal Syndrome: Dizziness, Nausea, Fatigue, Muscle Aches, Anxiety, Irritability, Severe Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Attempt !!

It is important to gradually taper your SSRI down and avoid abrupt cessation.

Talk to your DOCTOR (PSYCHIATRIST/NEUROLOGIST/FAMILY MEDICINE) about prescribing you long-acting SSRIs and then gradually tapering it down , in order to AVOID SSRI Withdrawal Syndrome.

Note: Patients taking MAO Inhibitors (Monoamine oxidase inhibitors) for their depression should take caution in ingesting any aged foods. Do not take MAO-inhibitors with Tyramine Ingestion (Tyramine is found in aged foods such as wine, cheese, beer, aged meats (beef jerky, chicken jerky, ginamos, buwad etc). This can lead to a HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS.

How ?

Monoamine Inhibitors prevents MAO (Monoamine oxidase) from degrading Norepinephrine. Tyramine foods contain a significant amount of Norepinephrine. The combined effect of taking MAO-Inhibitor and Tyramine foods (rich in NE) can lead to an abnormally large concentration of NOREPINEPHRINE in the body ---> SEVERE HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS --- > FATAL

Patients with an underlying seizure pathology and are also suffering from depression, please note: Be aware to make sure to tell your physician that it is unsafe to prescribe Bupropion (Wellbutrin), an Atypical Antidepressant, for you.

Reasoning: Bupropion can lower seizure threshold and thus seizure patients with depression should not be taking this.

Action: Psychiatrists and Neurologists should be aware to treat patients' depression with other antidepressant drugs eg, TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs.

Bai Chris,

I took classes on Arabic Language when I was in undergraduate college and the instructor of Arabic Language was from Syria. He came from a village with a strong Christian minority. I befriended my instructor, Suleiman (the Arabic form of SOLOMON). The village that he came was a coptic catholic rite and had been a community of believers since the 4th/5th century AD. He told me that it was very regular for people in the town to be taxed almost twice the amount as the muslims that lived in surrounding towns. It was the government's way of trying to "forcibly convert" the Christian community in Syria.

My instructor had a friend during college who , because of my instructor, became more interested in the Teachings of Jesus Christ and so , asked my instructor to teach him about Jesus Christ. The father of the friend found out that his son had converted to Christianity and had his son killed. This was a devastating blow to my instructor, who had become good friends with Sharif (the one who was killed for converting to Christianity).

Christians from Syria, Jordan, Lebanon , Egypt etc are forced to live in dhimmitude in these lands, many of them are leaving the Middle East for more "tolerant" countries. There is a surge of Christian Arabs in the United States  because of this situation. There is an exodus of Christian Arabs out of the Middle East because of the kinds of conditions they are placed in their own native lands.

My former instructor Suleiman , who is a good friend of mine to this day, lives in the United States.

Nindot kaayo!

Lord please, the special intentions are for the following deceased children who are no longer with us:


Mr. Rustico Aray Lucino, Mrs. Maria Luz Lucino, Mrs. Fortunata Tan-Salvo, Mrs. Balbina Tan Salingay, Mr. Marsalino Salingay, Mr. Bernardo Lucino, Mr. Teodolo Ebuenga, Mrs. Hermogina Torrero Ebuenga, Mrs. Dionisia Salise-Salvo, Mr. Ricardo Salvo, Mr. Jesus Salvo, Mr. Roy Rustico Lucino Jr, Mr. Robert Matson, Mrs. Helga Hohhman, Mr. Hohhman and all those who are in Purgatory.

My Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine agony in the Garden, in Thy scourging and crowning with thorns, in the way to Calvary, in Thy crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken; do Thou deliver them from the dire torments they endure; call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace! the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

DE PROFUNDIS:



Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication.
If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord,
For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

For all our family members who have passed on into eternity and are in purgatory, May the merciful Heart of Jesus forgive them of all their sins, their iniquities and be given entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. We ask In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

2. The other category is called charismatic. These graces are not aimed directly an making the recipient holy. They are for some other sort of benefit to the individual or the community. There are two kinds of charismatic graces: ordinary and extraordinary.

Where do the Gifts of the Holy Spirit fit in? There are two groups of them, one in the sanctifying, one in the charismatic category.

In the "sanctifying category" we find the seven gifts, which are given along with sanctifying (habitual) grace.

In the "charismatic" category we find both the ordinary gifts--e.g, the gift to be a good parent or a good teacher--and the extraordinary gifts, those which are or seem miraculous, such as the gifts of healing, tongues, or miracles.



http://www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/spira2.htm

1. Sanctifying graces are those that are aimed at making the recipient holy. They include: actual grace, a grace He sends me at this moment, to lead me and to enable me to do a particular good thing here and now, and habitual grace (also called sanctifying) which actually does make the recipient holy. It gives the soul the radical ability to take in the face to face vision of God in the next life. Increase in sanctifying grace means an increase in that capacity--for since the vision is infinite, our capacity can never reach the limit of growth.

Grace is any gift from God to us. There are two great categories or groups of graces: sanctifying, and charismatic.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

O most gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on the souls of Thy departed servants. Be not severe in Thy judgments, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames. And do Thou, O merciful Saviour, send Thy holy angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Jesus said if we pray this prayer 1,000 souls from purgatory are released: "Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."

Festering in my needs and wants.
Stuck in my self pity and worries.
Suffocating in my humanity.

Help me to raise my eyes to You.
Pull me from the mud and lift me up,
Bring me to the shore.
And allow me to dive into you.

Allow me to float in your river of grace.
Bobbing and drifting in the warmth of your embrace.
Feeling the light of your love shine upon me.
Drawing me ever closer to you.

I am not asking for a life free of trials and challenges
But to place them in your control
Always in your perspective.
Seeing everything through You.

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.
