Life Changing Decisions
Dilemma #1. To go to fellowship or start working.
DUH! Tinatanong pa ba yun? Aba, bahala na sila magpakatalino! Gusto ko na kumita ng totoong pera! Now na!
***
Dilemma #2.To stay or to go.
The agreement was to go back to my beloved country and serve for two years...
or... the waiver,
be a physician in an underserved area the United States for three years...
The ingrate that i am, i chose the latter. You can't blame me, well, actually you can. But please, don't.
Don't worry, mahal ko pa din kayong mga kababayan ko. Except si boy abunda.
***
Dillemma #3. Easy life with big moolah or hard life with bigger moolah or hardest life with biggest moolah!
As soon as recruiters knew i was about to finish training, i would get at least 10 phone calls a day. My email was also full of offers that i had to put some of them in the spam folder.
4 day work week, strictly out patient, no calls, no pagers, no hospital duties. Enough moolah. Panalo.

So last December, i flew in to this place, and told them, I'll think about it. Pakipot.
March, i was on vacation in California when they sent me the contract which was approved by my lawyer (nux! may lawyer lawyer pang nalalaman. parang tutuo. feelingero.)
I signed.
Contract signing by Fedex. Picture taken by good friend, Mrs. Eya Dee. buwahaha.

Life changing decisions. I hate doing them.
More to come.

di lahat ng pinoy na nasa pinas ay mahal ang pinas.
at di lahat ng pinoy sa abroad ay tumalikod na sa pagiging pilipino.
etc. etc.
by being a doctor, you serve. que si hoda pilipino or kano ang natutulungan mo. At nga pala, why feel guilt for getting something you deserve?
cool blog you have here. I'll be following! :-) How does the work atmosphere differ from here, though? Super tough?
So you left?! Did you pay?! :))
(...did it involve a lot of self-recrimination?)
No judgement or anything! You probly deserve it, and, hey, life is tough enough without being responsible for the fate of the third world.
sonia. thanks for following. work atmosphere? i guess it differs. patients here are really demanding.
chasingkitestrings. i left in 2006. No, i did not pay.
