angry birdie


2days ago..A 6-year old cute,chubbier compared to his age,dashed with those rosy cheeks.A huggable teddy-bear-like child is the patient of the day.CBC platelet with coagulation requests.That only means one thing, you have to do it on the arm and not just the easy do-it-prick-it one.Im busy doing my thing as a supermedtech that time.Gem,got the first try.She can't feel the hard-tamed vein.He's chubbier than you expect him to be.The seniors had their good try but he transforms like an angry bird or a majinboo(can you imagine?)  everytime you stickout the freaky syringe.I thought it was over since he is out of sight.

While having dinner,sir cris said that one of the girls should try.saying,Meron namang vein sa kamay.Referring an area near the fingers..But you have to be extra careful when it comes to those veins.aside from being too thin it is also a bulge-prone spot.Without any hesitations,i think its my time to try my luck on this,leaving the table for dinner.

This cute little chubby boy is having bad tantrums outside.He dont want to go inside the extraction area.He keeps his hands and arms at his back.Saying,AYOKO NA MAGPATUSOK!Ansakit sakit kaya!!And a tear is about to roll down on his fluffy cheeks.I convince him on my baby-like talking voice.It took me around 15-20 minutes to have his trust on me.And VOILA,napapayag ko siya!He don't want to see those boys who first tried to poke his vein.We entered the old out patient room for a more comfy way to have the extraction done.It took me another 20 minutes to look for a good vein.I feel hopeless.Wala talga ako makapang vein.Urong-sulong lang ang game!Then  tried a closer look on his foot.There goes a small vein after  hundreds of "pitik"gives me a leap of hope.One critical try and i feel a bit pressured.In a minute he will say yes and a flick of a second he grows hysterical and say no ayoko magpakuha!Nakakasagad ng pasensya,im feeling a bit annoyed at that moment.Yun tipong nasa momentum ka na,tapos biglang magwawala!giving it to a pedia resident is an option.They refused.His mom wanted me to do it.OKKK,Deep sigh* I leave the room and told his mom to call me anytime they convinced him already.

I go back on my cold spag and feeling hungier again.hindi ko man lang nafeel ang dinner.O well!Around 15 minutes,the game is on  again.without any minute wasted..tied the tourniquet a little tighter,alcohol,then poke!while doing that im saying little prayers on my head.Finally!though the blood flow adds tension on me with some likot moves on the foot.Thank God,my try is a success.nakakaovewhelm when his mom taps me on the shoulder saying thank you mam ha?say thank you to ate.The inis implied on me suddenly fades,when i see the cute smile of this boy.

yesterday, someone's calling,'hi ate!" at the canteen with the sweetest smile.The little boy with his mom!he remembers me.this put a smile on my heart and my mind speaks like,this job is hella hard but it's worth it to be remembered."Realizing, I LOVE MY JOB.I CAN FEEL MY PURPOSE! :)which life is all about,afterall!
