It’s been a long time since I attended a Gen Med RTD. I found that it is the disadvantage (or maybe an advantage !) of being in a government institution. Most often, I just attend nephro events which I find more intimate and more relevant in my life.
However, I was duped just this week when a very kind Med Rep (yes the recipe for disaster) persistently invited me to a nutrition symposium. Not thinking (yes, another ingredient for the recipe of disaster!), I was ready to say no because the venue was so far. The Med Rep, whom we shall kindly call Poy, smoothly replied that there would be transportations and that I would be billeted in makati Shang Rila hotel.
All my resolve to say no suddenly disappeared with her kindness and her billeted-ness. Given that I proceeded to make plans to invite SAFM, BOTD and hallokathy to my billetedness. We resolved to eat drink and be merry.
Little did I realize that the event fell on the same day as the PSN pre convention! Little did I realize that I needed to be at EDSA shang (not makati Shang!) post billeted-day to receive the PSN award (yes that for another post). Little did I realize hay this summit would entail around a thousand guests, that he pharmaceutical over-invites people, that I would be forced to sit through 5 lectures, and that I would have a toxic post cardiac surgery Icu patient that I would be managing via satellite q1 minute. Little did I know that I would still have to cram slides for a PSN meeting!
Lesson learned : wag na mag pa PO sa mga Gen Med RTD. Sayang sa time, sayang sa pagod.
Entanglements.
