PRE-PANDEMIC LEAVE

By Dr. Ella Mae Masamayor

On vacation, I distance myself as far as possible from work. In that particular March of 2020, I was in Vigan, enjoying the Instagram-worthy towns and the crispy bagnet with my family. Worry-less. Careless. Maskless. 

“Kailan balik mo?” the chief resident messaged. 

“March 16 sir.” 

When I came back, life was never the same again.

Words carry power. More so a doctor’s over a patient. Said to a healthy patient, your sugar is up. Next time I see her, she is so weakened. Stopped eating rice.
