Since I handle students at a special area in the hospital, we should not be attending and critiquing students for case colloquiums. This was made clear by our CC (Clinical Coordinator). But a colleague Miss Cata, lamented that she will be the only one who will critique the case presenters, so I had to inform our CC. I had to run after our CC who was about to ride on his van, and tell him about Miss Cata’s concerns. Without thinking further, our CC said, “Anyway, the cases at the Delivery Room (DR) and Operating Room (OR) will be listed in the student’s learning experience logbook, and none in IMCU, so you and your group can join the case colloquium, Ma’am”. That was a quick response and decision from our CC, like in the other circumstances that he acted so swiftly without much thought. I hope there will be no regrets with that action. The case presentation was from my first group of students in IMCU. Last Monday, they had their duty at pediatric ward. They had to hurry interviewing the patient’s mother, copy from the patient’s chart, copy the statistics of the disease condition in the medical records section, print their case in big manila papers, and give manuscripts to me and Miss Cata, despite their plea to the CC to give them a week more to finish their task, to no avail. The schedule given to us by the CC has so many loopholes, and another example was the sheets of evaluation tools he gave me were already outdated, that I had a hard time tallying my grades to the desired rating at the tools. My, oh my!
