ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

The IV Therapy didactic training and return demo were finally over. The same goes with my scheduled completion in VLGH. But my partner and me decided to still try it out, extend one more day that is. We're still one Blood Transfusion down to have our cases complete.

Those 2-day stay in VLGH as IV Therapy interns were fun, especially the second day. I do want to stay longer so I can perform, and master, what an IV Therapist does. But, I don't have any intention to use the patients as dummies or practice objects. I don't do that.

Amongst the functions of an IV Therapist, I'd say the one I am most confident to do is Blood Transfusion. I've only done it once, but I've done it as if I were a staff nurse of VLGH. Of course, there was supervision from the NCOD.

I may be able to get home early on my first day of completion, but the second day, which was just yesterday, had made me stay longer than expected. I spent 14 hours in the hospital. Of course, I was not alone. My "one-on-one" partner was with me too. Although we got home late, it was worth it because both of us were able to have one BT case each.

14 hours straight. Such stay tortured my feet. They were hurting so bad that when I raised them as I got home, it was like I could feel the venous return. Thank God my feet, and legs, no longer hurt this morning.

After 5 minutes on my seat yester noon, I knew I wouldn't be able to make a review about the movie. Instead of one being woven in my head, I had recollections of what it was like knowing the story a year ago. The same emotions were coming back as if I was holding the book in my hands while getting inside the head of the person whose name reminds me of the fraternité.

Perhaps it was the reason I had second thoughts about reading the novel again.  I've read the first book twice. Somewhere in my head, kept hidden by my subconscious, was the knowledge that doing so will trigger sentiments that will turn on my coping mechanism. I am not being emo here for I am definitely not one.

Emotional emotions are something I hardly relate to. Another reason why I am so fond of the saga.

"Empathy is a gift," Chin Chin Gutierrez said in an interview, but she didn't mention that it comes with a price. And it's not something you can delay to pay.

When I read the book, I was quick to understand the human, the leech, and the shape-shifter. Besides the entertainment brought by fiction, I was able to understand some things and see some situations better and clearer than before. I was relieved.
