| How time flies....It seems like only yesterday. On December 8, 2003, I received a call from Paz , the secretary of NKTI Urology Dept telling me to go to NKTI and start my pre-fellowship. I took care of everything that I had to before I left Davao. When I started on Dec 15, 2003, I was awed by everything that was in the institution. For a government hospital, it was really surprising. The whole hospital had centralized airconditioning and was so clean. The instruments in the operating room were complete, ask for it and they have it and everything was so well organized. The facilities were A1. Its something that even the expensive hospitals here in Davao City don't have. I was used to the laid back life here in Davao and I asked myself, Am I ready for the fast paced life in Manila? I know that the level of training there is really really different from what we have in other places. When I was in my first year, I had to be on my toes at all times, making follow ups on labs, xrays and OR schedules, making sure that every hole has been covered. With super strict seniors, we couldn't relax. As I climbed up the ladder annually, I became more strict each day that passes by because I didnt want mistakes that we did to be committed by our juniors. I became better each day at what I did, theoretically and technically. It was really tiring, physically and mentally, but it was all worth it. My day wouldnt be complete if I didnt do at least one surgery. I consider myself very lucky to be trained at NKTI and be mentored by a consultant staff considered to be the who's who in Philippine urology. My stay in NKTI is not only about the training, we all know that it is the best institute when it comes to Urology training. Its also about friendship and camarederie, problems and solutions, and a lot more lessons in life. I knew that my training would end on December 2007 and I had to start private practice on 2008 to carry on all the skills and knowledge that the best institution has imparted on me. Sadly, I had to leave NKTI when I completed my training...even though I was done with my training, there's always a part of me that belongs to NKTI... I knew I had to go, but I wanted to look for reasons to stay. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to train in NKTI and to work with and be supervised by the best urology consultant staff. |
