On Call

I like being on call. Your phone ringing endlessly because of office mates, Nepali helpers and laborers trying to contact you because they got sick and some are not feeling well. I like the idea that they know who I am and I also like the idea that they call me Doctor instead of a Nurse. :)

I like being on call. I get to tell them what to do when there is something wrong with their systems. I get to teach them proper hygiene and other clinical practices that they should follow to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also educate them about what foods to eat. Because rice is a staple food just like in the Philippines, they tend to eat too much of it together with greasy and spicy foods, I teach them proper ways of eating and living healthy.

I like being on call because they follow all my health teachings and other medical inquiries that they ask. They listen very carefully as I speak about certain diseases, prevention, cure and rehabilitation. It means that they are really eager to learn and to prevent those illnesses to attack them.

Likes being a nurse,
