My Ganglion Cyst Shrunk

June 24, 2008

I think it was this week that I noticed that my ganglion cyst on my left wrist was aching a lot. I don’t know if it is due to the weather or something is happening inside. Just last Thursday I was surprised to see that my ganglion cyst shrunk and the hump wasn’t as visible as before.

Here are some of my theories that led to the shrinking of my ganglion cyst:

Emotional Yesterday

June 3, 2008

Yesterday was a very emotional day for me. It was all because of my period that I’m having for over a month. My mother and Floyd (boyfriend) have been bugging me about this so I eventually gave in to them and agreed to go see a doctor for a checkup. Before, I was hesitant (actually I didn’t really want to) because everyone here was telling me I might undergo a Transvaginal Ultrasound! Of course, I don’t want that. Imagine, that thing going inside of me (either way)?! Noo way! It might be just a simple thing to some of you but for me, it’s a big deal and might bring me all sorts of problems.

So to continue the story, like I said, I agreed but half-meant agreed. We (Me, my mother and Floyd) were all set and ready to leave the house yesterday morning when I acted out and told them that I don’t want to go. Floyd got mad at me and my mother walked out of the house - in other words, we had a fight. Floyd was extremely mad at me to the point that he hit me. He said they were all doing this for me and yet, I acted like a kid. Of course, that made me realized some things and calmed down.

The California Maki in Rice Paper Roll - California Maki with a Twist

May 25, 2008

The California Maki in Rice Paper Roll  - California Maki with a Twist
(California maki wrapped in rice paper)

Most Filipinos that love Japanese Foods, especially the ladies, really love eating California Maki. Maybe it is because it’s the most well known Japanese food, aside from Tempura of course. Other than its appearance and reputation, the taste of California Maki is acceptable in most Filipino palates. For the new starters and still learning to eat food items from the sushi bar, the California Maki is the best choice to start. California Maki’s original recipe from countries outside the Philippines, consist of avocado, crabmeat (it could be real crab meat or imitation crabmeat stick “Kani Kama”), cucumber, and lettuce. However, here in the Philippines, we substituted the avocado with our most favorite mango fruit, which even made the California Maki more delicious. Maybe it is because of the availability of the mango all year round, unlike the avocado that is seasonal.

And after four months of discussions in bicameral(Senate and House) committee, it now finally ready to be ratified by Congress.

Disturbing Behavior - a Doctor’s late reaction to the Vicente Sotto Video Scandal

April 22, 2008

scene from Grey's Anatomy

(this is a scene from Grey’s Anatomy - no picture was taken without consent.)

Having been figuratively removed from the world for the past few days, I almost completely missed the explosion of the Vicente Sotto Memorial Hospital Video Scandal into the Philippine media firmament. Now, because of some unthinking, insensitive, and generally stupid health care workers’ behavior, the medical profession is once more being given the spotlight - and not in a good way.

My resident batchmates and I discussed this issue over dinner last Saturday. Having been trained in charity teaching hospitals, we are not unfamiliar with being surrounded with so many young student spectators, whether nurses or medical students, while in the heat of an urgent medical procedure - like an urgent intubation or even an on-going resuscitation.

Despite this understanding and experience, my batchmates and I were all hard put to justify the behavior of the nurses and doctors who are involved in the above case. While at the time, I had not yet seen the video, the mere narrative of what had transpired disturbed me. More so after I had.

We Filipinos Always Manage to be in the Headlines in Canada

April 20, 2008

We described the side comment from the Desperate Housewives about Filipino doctors as degrading, right? Now, I could not, in my simple little mind figure out why someone would upload a confidential operation on Youtube. I am talking about that “Vicente Sotto Medical Center Scandal.” I’ve seen it. Although it was taken down from Youtube, you could still find the link where you can download it - for $1.00. Talk about enterpreneurship………. Well, i’ve downloaded it for free…

I came across it last week but I just shook my head. I didn’t dwell on it. But today while reading news from the CBC website (Canadian Broadcasting Centre), the VSMCC Scandal was one of the headlines. Of course it doesn’t say VMSCC scandal but “Doctors face dismissal after surgery posted on Youtube.” Here’s the link, read it for yourself - Doctors face dismissal after surgery posted on Youtube . At the bottom of that article, you can see different reactions from Canadians.

Teenage Sex is A Reality

April 16, 2008

One of my observations when I started working as a pharmacist here in Canada is the fact that parents are very open about teenage sex. During my first few months in the pharmacy, I noticed that the Moms would personally come to pick-up their daughter’s contraceptive pills (birth control pills). The popular brandnames for contraceptives are Diane 35, Alesse, Tri-Cyclen, MinOvral, Triphasil, to name a few. Anyway, most of these pills may be used also for acne control. But I tell you, the Moms would pick up those contraceptive pills to make sure that their teenage girls don’t get pregnant. Let’s face it, a teenager will do what a teenager wants to do. I’ve been there. Hot

Blogging May Not Be Deadly, But It Has a Whole Sweatshop of Other Problems

April 7, 2008

It’s currently the hottest story at TechMeme. The New York Times reports that “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop“. Drop dead, that is. They consider professional blogging a “digital-era sweatshop”, referring to a factory where its workers are sorely underpaid and unprotected.

But I have to say that NYT is going somewhere with its term, sweatshop.

Call For Submission of Articles For Second Edition of TBR

March 13, 2008

As I’ve promised, I’m now posting the theme for next week’s TBR (The Blog Rounds), which will be posted here at Prudence, M.D. on March 18, 2008, 8 P.M. (Philippine Time).

I’ve had several topics in mind but, for the upcoming TBR, I choose:

“The Internet and Philippine Medicine”

We’ve started the TBR with a bit of nostalgia, looking back at how Medicine was in the early days. For next week, I think we could delve into the present issues concerning the use of internet as a technology to help (or hinder?) the progress of Philippine medicine.

Choose whichever style of writing you’re comfortable with. Write an essay about an experience using internet (or specifically Web 2.0) in medical education/practice (a funny anecdote, perhaps, on how the internet has saved your life during a grand rounds?). Or maybe share your insights about how the availability of medical knowledge online affected the perception of non-medical people on medicine. Or, if you fancy something different, write your thoughts in poem form!

Interested? Read more about joining next week’s TBR here.

TBR is not limited to MDs only! For any blogger who’re into health-related blogging, please do join us! It’ll be fun!
