Im Sorry Aurora Jr, (Aurora is better anyway)
YES!!
It is such a breath of fresh air to be back inside the hospital again (my duty is 7Am-3PM). My midterm examinations and community internships are all over. And now i am stationed in a private hospital. But i was absent on my first day because i thought that there was no class since the other night was the College of Nursing and Midwifery's acquaintance party. So I went to my Org instead and made some errands. I just asked the Org's head to make an excuse letter for me to get me an excuse slip. And i had my excuse slip, so just have to do a single make up duty instead of making 3 (an absence is equals to 3 make up duties) for my absence.
Private hospitals offer a lot of different experiences than that of the public hospital that ive been to. But i was not able to have them since im a guy (yes i am a guy so stop calling me Ate, im not your sister).
I cannot just make some perineal cares (cleaning of a girl's reproductive organ), change some diapers or catheters (catheters are tubes that are inserted in the urinary meatus to allow the ubinterrupted flow of urine, this is given to any post-operative patient), and many more since the female clients were embarassed.
A newly cesarean woman was my patient. I had some talk with her husband and i found out that they were planning to name their child, Aurora. This was I think was the guy's mother's name. He even joked, "can we name a girl with a Junior, I mean Aurora Jr. hahaha"
So i told him that Aurora was the Goddess of Dawn in Roman myth, and i can search for the Greek name for Aurora. He was really happy and I know that he was really looking forward for the next day. But as usual, before going home, i again went to my org's office, and I was at home at 9 Pm. I totally forgot about the name.
The next day, they asked me about the name and I told them about what happened. They named the girl Aurora instead.
I really felt so bad, that's why even though I was only able to come home at 10, beginning of my sleeping hours, (because of the org again), i searched painstakingly for the Greek name of Aurora. And i found it. Aurora's Greek name is Eos. Hmmm.... not cute isn't it.
Im sorry Auora Jr., your name is better anyway.
