Haven’t been here for a while now. Just a quick update: I spent the last 2 months preparing for the licensure exam. I built a study routine and I’ve been studying every day ever since. It hasn’t been easy. I don’t even know what’s after this, but I’ll just try to go through it one day at a time.
I’ve been more active in my study account in instagram. It has been amazing and I’ve found a lot of support from people everywhere. Although, I have to admit that Tumblr still feels very special to me as it contains the rest of my journey from high school to med school. This is still my safe space, and I’m glad I still have this to voice out my thoughts freely.
How is everyone? I hope you are all doing okay

I remember drawing all the branches of the abdominal aorta until its terminal branches back when I was a first year med student. Yet, I can’t seem to master them completely!

I don’t even know if this countdown ‘til end kf internship still applies, but keeping it there for the sake of it.
Hey guys, it’s been 4 days since we, medical interns, were pulled out from the hospital because of the corona virus outbreak. Everything happened so fast. I was catching babies that day for my neonatal rotation, then hours later, I was on a car ride home to my province.
Here I am on my 4th day of quarantine. My sister recently developed fever, cough, and difficulty of breathing. She’s currently admitted in a hospital back in Manila and fortunately, she’s stable. Meanwhile I’ve had cough, colds, and malaise ever since I arrived. This is why I’m taking this self-quarantine seriously. I haven’t touched or hugged any family member ever since I arrived because I can’t risk exposing my parents (who are both >60 years old) if ever I did catch the virus.
Anyway, I have 10 days left. I’ve been using this time to study Biochemistry through online videos and books even though I’m not sure if we’re gonna be able to take the licensure exam this year. The future is so unclear, and that thought kinda makes me feel demotivated. But I try to brush it off, just try to study like I usually do.
I hope everyone’s okay at this time of crisis. I pray for everyone who can’t stay home because they have to earn for their families. I pray for our frontliners, and my co-interns who volunteered to stay in the hospita despite the pullout. It’s times like these that we really need to help each other. I pray that this will pass soon. :)
