I've been feeling like a spoiled brat lately...
We visited a depressed barangay today for community health. One family we visited packed their six members into a one-bedroom corrugated steel shanty home. And since we've been in the government hospitals, we've been doing a lot of our work with the indigent there too. It gets so sad, when so many of their illnesses are due to malnutrition or poor sanitation. Things that seem so easy to fix with food or simply with antibiotics. I can't help but feel so privileged, spoiled even with my life... bourgeois guilt.

On a lighter note, if you think that I have to dress in an old-fashioned way as a nursing student, this is how the midwifery students were dressed in the provincial hospital:
Bonnets, pleated skirts, and smocks!
