on top of our individual targets for the project, TM (Technical Manager) opened up the possibility na hingin ang service namin as analysts for COVID-19 testing bec. RT- PCR
maraming issues na nakita like,
1. not sure if our facility is equipped
2. we are not trained na mag handle ng known infectious samples, lalo na't hindi pa ganun ka lawak ang familiarity, even ng virologists sa nature ng virus na ito.
the following day, LH (Laboratory Head) asked our assistance para iasses kung kaya ba ng facility, and it turned out na kaya naman. We have the basic equipments na ggamitin. She then asked us kung anong stand namin. Kung willing ba kami.
Personally speaking willing ako. May apprehensions, pero gusto ko.
Days prior, nag open up ako kay Vii (medtech friend from here) na nag iisip ako na magrender ng service as a medtech kung meron mang Govt. hospital na understaff due to this outbreak.
That is kung wala akong WFH (na alam ko namang imposible).
Kaya nang ma discuss ang tungkol dito, G ako una palang. I felt like this could be the answer sa gusto kong gawin. Baka eto yung way para maka serve ako sa bayan at this time of crisis.
Baka eto yung maseserve ko yung purpose ko being a frontline healthcare professional, hindi nga lang sa clinical laboratory kundi sa molecular.
Ang main worry ko lang is, yung documents that we are trying to finish ay mapepending nanaman at yung pag aalala ng parents ko. Idagdag na din yung hassles ng training- siyempre hindi ito regular training, may hinahabol dito, kailangan mabilisan.
But upon raising this to our Division Chief, sinabi nya na kung hihingin lamang ang tulong namin doon lang siya mag rerespond; na ayaw niya ipresinta ito sa institute Director sa ngayon dahil hindi siya handa na i-risk ang safety namin.
Aww,, ♥️
and so 'Science to Business' fam went back to regular programing.. still, #parasabayan.
