Energency Room

It was our time to have our exposure in the ER..our duty was one of a government hospital here in manila.I know all of you watch the series "ER", so i know your expectations,My expectaion was ER is a place PACKED WITH ACTION. Doctors and nurses, carefully assesing patients and giving them emergency treatments. To my disappointment, that was not the case.
Yes, there were many patients, but, there were no doctors. Para bang nagusap-usap ang mga pasyente na at 9:00 am, they would all come in the ER. I panicked and so did my groupmates, because we badly needed to help the patients but what can we do? were just NURSING STUDENTS, and as badly as we wanted to act, we can't.
There was this one patient in the ER, he was brought by one of his neighbors and complained of "Abdominal pain." I can see it on his face that he was really in pain. I wanted to help him, but, again what can i do?I wanted to give him some medications, to relieve his pain, but, unfortunately, i can't.So i just said to him to wait for the doctors.
An hour passed, the doctors finally came. I wondered what if there was a more life-threatening situation in the ER that moment when the doctors were not around. What will happen then?
