In my 10 months of stay in San Pedro Doctor’s Hospital, doctor Musngi has been noisy, cranky, and fun to be with. He is one of the makulit and maingay, to patients and to us as well. He entertains his patients, kahit paulit ulit ang tanong niya, he tries his best to read the chart using the negatoscope light, he takes a nap while waiting for a non-HMO patient, and he texts even during E.R is toxic, and he stays calm even the crowd is panicking.
I would like to share his 10 most unforgettable traits:
1. He never forgets to smile whenever he gets in to E.R
2. He is a generous doctor even his pockets says no.
3. To some, his “green” jokes are lessons to learn.
4. He gives us a lifetime lessons.
5. He teases us in our own personalities.
6. Every girl is beautiful in his eyes. (kahit sarcasm)
7. He is too supportive with what’s in you. (he even supports your business)
8. He’s a father and brother to all. (a listener and a talker)
9. Ramdam mo yung “bad words” pag naiinis siya
10. He is proud to share whatever makes him happy. (kahit ano pa yan, proud yan!)
I may not have known him for a long time but his stay during clinic hours speaks who he is. He’s like a father to all of us. He reminds us how life is, education, practicality and perseverance despite of being alone and zero-in-pocket. That’s why when my headnurse told me the sudden bad news, I was shaking, nervous, and scared. All his alive memories flashed back immediately. I paused for minute, inhaled deeply and exhaled forcely. A sudden lost of someone close to our heart is heartbreaking but his memory remains alive in us.
Everything is temporary, you only have one life to live so make the most out of it. God has His perfect plans in each of us, we may not understand it how and why, but surely God has His own ways of explanation in the right time. I know that everything happens for a reason.
So long Dr. Musngi, I know you are in the good hands of our Heavenly Father. thank you for the laughter and for being our “eldest” doctor. We will miss you.
Most of the people nowadays are alive when they talk about LOVE! Yes, LOVE! Even me, personally and honestly, I wiggle whenever I hear a LOVE story…But just a thought and should be an application in our daily living. 🙂
