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. :)

I’m currently answering questions. I thought I’d let you guys know what I’m planning to do for the blog:
- full update: where i’ve been and how it’s been going
- about med school: “week in the life of”
- book review: Emotional Agility by Susan David
- tips: studying in the clerkship phase of med school, maybe include references for each rotation
Would you guys be interested in that? Also, leave me suggestions to what you would like to see more of on the blog. I’d love to hear your thoughts :)
