    were you pissed off by the by-reservation / waiting period, or by the increased price?
    both can be effectively addressed in the petron gas station. they even have a clean, airconditioned convenience store beside it.
    heh heh.

    yan na ba yung shell oil? i think they switched suppliers from idemitsu. maybe that's why the price increased

    sa province ko it's not a hassle to get oil changes at the casa. no appointment needed

    after the lengthiest and trying part of residency training, comes "the rest of your life". this usually lasts much longer and is typically more challenging than any training program.

    if one thinks about it,
    residency program is the good life... one has a regular salary and one can hide under the teacher's protective gown.
    going out into the populace to practice... that's the scary part. out there, there are no promises. one is on his own.
    i am nothing but in all admiration, for our colleagues who dared to practice in the rural areas.
    So from your experience doc, how do the different specializations pan out after 20 years of consultancy?

    What is the chillest, what has the highest pay-to-work ratio?

    un-officially, the richest of them are the ophthalmologists. (heh heh heh!!!).
    ilang minuto lang ang isang cataract... eventually, all of us will need their services.

    the most-loved are the pediatricians.
    matanda nah yung bata, tuwang-tuwa pa kapag makasalubong ang pedia niya.
    and their clinics are always so festive.

    the most glamorous are the dermatologists.

    the least known / least appreciated, are the pathologists. they hide inside the laboratory. their job description is to keep the laboratory working to high standards.

    but seriously,
    yung income part...
    depende yan sa discarte.
    like any business, one has to be a good salesman of one's professional activities.

    Unfortunately, there are no ac lounge in all the Big 3 around me, just pull a chair in their work area, a bit impatient but not really pissed, re price increase, well it's the reality nowadays

    Not sure of the supplier but I did notice that the price of the oil and filter was aligned to SRP, last time, the materials were a lot cheaper than SRP.

    Sira ata digital thermometer ko! So I decided to buy a new thermometer because I've been checking my temp for almost every 2 hrs and I was afraid it will run out of battery. I received the new one today and decided to test it.

    I used my old thermometer first and it was 38.3! I was scared kasi I took Biogesic 6 hrs ago and it should have gone down. I used the new thermometer and it was 37.1 so I was confused. I used my Mercury thermometer and it was a little after 37 nga Baka naman my old thermometer was malfunctioning and shows higher values?

    it also depends on how one positions the tip.
    take several determinations, using all three instruments, one at a time.

    don't worry about battery run down.
    they eat electricity at about the same rate as quartz watches.

Bakit ka badtrip today?
