A CERTIFIED GCP DOCTOR - DI LICOP

Put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air! I wrote this blog entry last March 18, 2010 at Shangri-La Mall Yogurbud area. It's all written on a steno notebook while waiting for my FLI friends. Please take note that I minor-revised the content. Thank you. Haha!

March 18, 2010

I am a medical practitioner now, involved in a study wherein I am the principal investigator. Earlier, UPM-NIH in cooperation with Novartis Healthcare Philippines, Inc. conducted a two-day seminar held at Santan function room at EDSA Shangri-La located in Ortigas. It was fun, I got bored, I went sleepy and uninterested. But as soon as the clock strikes 12, I was fun-filled with energetic blast! As we are about to munch sumptuous lunch!

I am a medical practitioner. An investigator to a 52-week parallel, double-blind, randomized study of a certain drug (100 ug o.d) vs a certain drug (50 ug o.d) etc.

I felt different after drinking too much hot chocolate from the beverage area. And I got myself five cups of choco, random choices of lucious finger foods, pastries and cakes. It was a hella great seminar! I never had a chance to get the image of everything that gets into my way. One thing more, (and new) I only had a spoonful of korean rice during lunch. I can't exactly remember what I ate because it was hard to shop for food that time. I ate atleast one kind from each of my major favorite dishes: fish, chicken, pork, beef and a few more. I didn't find my self contented eating a bunch of viands cuz I really prefer eating rice. I got full, and yes, a little satisfied.

I am a medical practitioner now and I eat like a construction worker.

Again, I am Di Licop, M.D currently waiting for my FLI friends to come over and meet me at Shangri-La Mall. I am waiting for over an hour now and surprised to receive a message from Divine that they'll get out of the office at 6:48 to wait for FLI van to service their way here. I can't believe it!

Now I wonder what medical people do if they were asked to wait for another lame 48 minutes of their precious time while waiting for their friends. Wasting such time could be a serious disaster. Instead of reviewing for my GCP exam tommorow, I am all out here documenting these serious adverse event (SAE) -- I kill time, I waste time and it's fun! :)

I sit alone in an open area where I bought a yummy strawberry flavored yogurt at yogurbud. And now, in front of me is a Coco Martin look-alike bud wearing eye glasses eating yogurt with a friend. Getting back, I wonder what medical people do during their free time. I am lucky because I still have a chance to revise this material.

I am Di Licop, I attended GCP seminar earlier, ate yogurt, waiting for my friends, a graphic designer, blogger and a dreamer.

I was never a doctor. I never conducted a serious medical research study.

I wish life's as easy as that. Once you change your mind, nothing's gonna ruin every single effort you put on a particular project.

I really am a dreamer..
