heart of the bambang 2.2

I deleted a post about Bambang so I could edit it and make it more informative at the very least.

Late last year I received an YM PM from Eric of Davao. He visited my blog to get some infos about a cuffless Shiley Trache. I told him I haven’t heard of it but I could give him the phone numbers of the stores that I frequent. Then I found out that trache tube is for his grandma who passed away the first week of December. Again, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

I’m glad that in one way or the other that my blog was able to give help (even if it’s a small thingy). It makes me feel good. PROMISE…

As for the stuff that I frequently purchase (which is supposed to be provided by our employer) these are the must -haves when you’re a nurse. You have to have some spare supplies in case the emergency cart is anorexic and the pharmacy takes an hour to dispense you STAT ordered drugs and paraphernalia. (o diba that is so shitty!!!)

ear loop disposable face masks

disposable clean gloves

micropore

n-95 masks

sterile gloves

disposable syringe

IV cannula

Tips:

Super canvass at every store in sight! Prices differ at every store.

I haven’t tried the stores along Avenida Avenue, but I heard that it’s pricier.

I’m not sure if some stores accept credit cards, always bring extra cash.

Bulk buying is (of course) some items are cheaper because they give you the wholesale price.

Medical and Nursing Students: In purchasing BP apps and stets just go for the Baxtel and AlpK2 brands (stet included but you could purchase without the stet) it’ll last you longer (believe a cheap one won’t even last you a month!). If you’re some kind of a shushala get a Littman stethoscope and Prestige Medical BP. Just be aware of whoever’s borrowing it. The next time that you’ll see it will be at a second hand shop somewhere in Recto.

Aside from these medical supplies, there’s a fasyon side of Bambang. At the right side (if you’re coming from Caloocan or the same side of DOH, manila Health Department, JR, San Lazaro Hospital). Walk straight ahead (Huwag na kayong sumakay ng tricycle at sobrang lapit, gogoyoin lang kayo ng tricycle drivers dun). You’ll find a vast space of Ukay-ukay heaven! I heard that lady Imelda, Sarah Meier and Angel Aquino used to shop there.

-enjoy the place =)
