Hands already wearing gloves, poised to take the laryngoscope and ram a tube down a gasping patient’s throat while in the sauna that is the ER, when an intern approached me hurriedly and asked something about another patient, “About the… Read More ›

Sushi
As it always happens when you’re in a hurry an environmentalist accosts you and makes you feel guilty. Case in point, I was running towards Comic Odyssey in Rob to get the long-awaited Flash: Rebirth #1 which has been released… Read More ›
Obscene!
Became my dad’s bantay in Medical City, and in true bantay fashion I decided to not take a bath, brush my teeth, wash my face, or sleep well. Being comfortable and well-kempt is just not being true to the spirit… Read More ›
Watchmen!
Shall watch Watchmen in a few hours. Of course movies are not required to be 100% faithful to the source material, if Watchmen were done in this fashion it would last 8 hours. You’ve heard all the raves and read… Read More ›
Cheapo Missed Her Chance, and Other Meh’s.
Cheapo was supposed to raise her hand in the middle of the conference and I would call her and she would ask a planted question. Yes, I can stoop that low, specially when I’m in the scalding seat presenting a… Read More ›
Smitheteens
The first year medical students had their environmental hazard tour in our wards this afternoon, and I was tasked to tour them around. There was absolutely nothing to say and I was so encephalopathically sleepy, so I just asked them… Read More ›
Masticating
During our Grade 6 graduation practice we were all trying to be sopranos. Yes—boy or girl, we were required to totally emulate the nun singing “O Panginoon Ko” in the exact ridiculous coloratura (coboratura? Cororatura? I can’t remember my grade… Read More ›
Keyser Sosi
Ex-housemate Keyser Sosi was recently found slumped in the pediatrics callroom unconscious, cyanotic, and frothing in the mouth. I am yet to visit him and I got this information 6th-hand, so I am not sure if the cyanotic and frothing… Read More ›
Last 3 Minutes
RTD’s on drugs or scientific discoveries or critical appraisals of whatever are boring. There I said it. If not for the free food I probably wouldn’t go, so if there’s any drug company reading this you’d know how to captivate… Read More ›
Something To Say To Donna Troy
As I’ve recently blathered about in this blog Donna Troy has laid their mother to rest about a week ago, with the special participation of everyone from PGH, the UP Med Choir, and of course, Boots Anson-Roa. And Selecta Ice… Read More ›
Calling Mark V.
Went to the wake of Donna Troy’s mother a few nights ago, and as with any huge family events Donna Troy was not familiar with all the visitors. And before the night was up who should come in but a… Read More ›
Esplode! Esplode!
I wanted to watch something explode so I went through some old episodes of the excellent Batman: The Animated Series, wherein something explodes every 8 minutes. Nothing gets more explode-y, of course, than the excellent feature, Batman: The Mask of… Read More ›
File Under: Too Much Information/Self-Deprecation
Way back in March 2006 while typing the census in the interns’ callroom Ditz the Titz caught me listening to Kelly Clarkson. I wasn’t particularly a fan, but her songs were in my computer. So she’s catchy, sue me. I… Read More ›
F*uck
Yes, the asterisk stands for a U, ie, fuck. I was re-reading my old Friendster blogs out of boredom and was reminded at how the word fuck, or any “salacious” word for that matter, invites a barrage of spam comments… Read More ›
The 50th degree
I attended to Pyro’s ER patient one night being duty and all, and that night her tumor bled massively and she instantly arrested. I eventually revived her, but she kept me awake all night, having to run for blood and… Read More ›
Cheezums
Having written that rather elongated rant on the reeking falsehoods of my childhood (shame on you adults of the 80’s), I suddenly developed a huge appetite for Chikadees. I know it probably wasn’t that great, but its unattainability makes me… Read More ›
GBC
While eating lunch in the callroom one day some weird muzak suddenly blared out seemingly from nowhere. “What the fuck is that?!?” JD shrilly screamed (actually he just monotonically asked, “ano yun?”). “Is that a ring tone?” I asked. After… Read More ›
Pervy Porn Peddling Practice
I mentioned in my recently-deceased Friendster blog that for some reason DVD vendors always seem to single me out to secretly peddle hidden porn DVDs. Apparently I am not alone in this, so my porn facies is happily not unique…. Read More ›
Reeking Falsehoods!
Wherein I rant about all the falsehoods of my childhood and expose them for the nasty lies that they are!1. That there is a huge ship of vampires in space and that the vampires will disembark anytime soon. And it’s… Read More ›
Blog Fodder
Having placed down my bag, my laptop, and my clothes in my dorm room on a Sunday evening after a relatively entertaining weekend I crawled to the bed and discovered 3 brown maltesers-look-alike. That smelled like crap, because they were,… Read More ›
