Physician San Rafael, Galeana 2010-2011
28/Abril/2010
It's been 3 months, I know, but it is never too late to start. 3 months ago
just give up all sorts of social life and benefits to become a MPSS, which means exactly, Medical Social Service Intern. Even begin to define such a concept seems so easy, but it really is not, and is that even if you want to sound whiny, really is impossible, so get ready my dear readers to enjoy the string more Long whining ever before.
As I said before, 3 months agocomes, to be exact, on 5 February 2010, but really all the stress began long before the choice of places, the wait outside the auditorium was near death, but the hysteria being observed in the screen that the venues closest and best located faded one by one, leaving for us the only mid-table crumbs. The time of entry, without having any idea it was going to do, completely disoriented was horrible, but some doctor approached me and said: "Galeana is very good, especially in San Rafael, have ambulance unit emergency and are 3 interns, plus they have Internet and cable " , well ... such as í not sound bad at all and to sign my sentence ...
Days passed, graduation, and finally came the day after a tedious course of induction me and Monica, my partner, gave us life azorrillada. Until that moment we knew that San Rafael, the glorious, was a town of passage along the road, of 3.000 inhabitants and full of slums and saloons where the truckers go where prostitution is rife, as well as innovative programs that met the government, whether they Seguro Popular, Opportunities, and others that depend on a host of useless paperwork, which obviously is doneor nothing more and nothing less than the trainees. One of the nights when we get together all trainees before leaving each person to the place we belonged, I remember the conversation with one of my contemporaries - Chingadamadre, When will we to stop being whores institution?, as were the whores MIPS University, as interns, we are the whores of Ministry of Health.
After the first night in San Rafael, the first encounter with what is now my other partner, Cristy, the intern who was already here 6 months. Flying, I get to watch. & Ikkesh first patient ...t, Erb's Palsy? Do not remember anything, it was as if my life had never studied medicine.
not remember the last time I cried so many nights in a row under the covers so I would not hear my new teammates, not counting start afresh in a new place,
But really you realize that the examina final volumes of the most horrible subjects have nothing to do with real life. For the first time in living a life depends on you and only you. Not only filled with the record and history, not only explore and give your opinion, that after this the doctor and tell you what to do. Here are just you and your head, q ue mine seemed to haveBia been in a coma the last 6 years and had just woken , it's amazing how ignorant can you get to feel.
course, did not have the beautiful people of San Rafael, not only are many, if not conflicting, they are also liars, who believe that coming here to be your cat for a Anoy have the obligation granting any whim that they please, of course pa 'my fleas just me, so that almost the second week I had gotten into trouble with a certain lady who gave no antibiotic for a simple flu, but of course, as they already have a thousand years of experience believe quand know more than you and have the luxury to imply that you are ignorant. They do not understand the reasons for them is what they believe. Not to mention control of diabetes and hypertension, in which people raise and lower the dose of medication as they please, but if something happens, then you're to blame because you are prescribed. Clearly not the same as telling him to take a pill to take 20.
Another cool feature of my health center, is the largest in the region, so the glorious health jurisdiction to hold 24-hour service, assuming that after 8 in the evening, attend emergencies only. Note that the dDefinition of the urgency for people of my village is "It's 3 am, and I can not sleep, so I'll screw the doctor with any bullshit" ... and there I have at 3 am taking runny noses and bumps on the tongue ... because poor me if I think the patient insinuate that this is not urgent and come in a more decent hour, because then follow the individual take the nearest phone to call me that her neighbor jurisdiccióny was near death and that I wanted it open, and for some unknown reason, always right in the eyes of whats superiors and the first change and you want to smear with a stranger.
You become an entity that never sleeps and eats very little and still like being seen with a smile on your face.
old know it sounds like whining, I know and I hate it, but somewhere I have to vent. And I can not generalize, because I've had people friendly and simple, he is really grateful for your work. For that minority, I actually returns a little faith in humanity and I am convinced that diaa days a year will pass soon and that it is worth continuing ...
Thanks for reading, I hope to update with my adventures more often.
