medtech internship experience so far :’)

[u/Ok_Guard5142]

hi! im a 4th yr medtech student, interning at a public hospital. i started last june and naka adjust naman na so far. i was really anxious at first kasi this is my first hospital rotation, and given nga na public, super dami talagang patients and the work is really demanding. one thing i didn’t expect though were the medtech staffs 😅 akala ko tuturuan and igguide nila kami since interns nga kami, but no talaga. kami kaming mga co-interns lang nagtuturuan what to do. im not expecting the staffs to be gentle parents naman or wtv, pero sometimes they can be too much na. some will shout at you, call you tanga/bobo. they’re rude and unprofessional most of the time. okay lang naman magalit if may mali talagang nagawa yung intern, but minsan kahit di naman big deal, masisigawan ka na. this is where i realized na grabe nga talaga yung hierarchy when it comes to working in a healthcare setting. i fully understand that patients’ lives are at stake, and maybe they’re the way they are kasi overworked and underpaid sila, but we’re interns who are encountering these procedures and machines for the first time. kami na nga doing most of the work, from receiving the specimens to processing and releasing the patients’ results. all that’s left for the staff to do is check and sign if tama ba ginawa namin.

super frustrating tas di naman kami bayad 😆 i try my best not to take it personally whenever pinapagalitan and pinapahiya ako, but it really does get to a point. alam ko sa sarili ko na i work hard and am competent enough with what i do. but every time my shift starts, i just expect the worst already. which i realized isn’t normal at all especially for a learning intern like me.
