On JULY 1, 2009
-- i bumped a kid.. a Li'L boy..
[i'LL just copy and paste my comment to one of my friends in FS about it..]



so here:
i was driving the motorcycLe (juLy 1 @ around 6PM)
and one of our heLpers was with me (backride).
we were supposed to get our tricycLe drivers'
boundaries..



enen when i passed by the eLementary
sk0oL's pedestrian, it was a GO.
(not that there was any signaL Light.. LOL)



every singLe person was on STOP
and no one dared to move.
they were aLL waiting for the vehicLes to pass..
(the road was kinda narrow in that part of the worLd.)
so i was on sLow speed Like 20-30kph..
enen i dunno where the kid came from,
it was too quick.
but i think i stiLL saw him Look
at our side of the road and
i never thought/beLieved he was gonna cross.




but ALL OF A SUDDEN, I JUST FELT THAT I BUMPED HIM.
(damn.. i remember how it feeLs Like.. crap!!)
enen i suddenLy stopped, shocked!!
and coz he was running when i bumped him,
he was kinda sLowLy thrown to the middLe of the road.
good thing he wasn't ran over by the big vehicLes!! *whew*




after i saw him "fLy" and Land on his Left side..
i parked in a fLash.
(not reaLLy thinking/caring if i was
aLready bLocking the road or something..)

peopLe aLready heLped the kid stand
when i got near him.
he was (of course) shocked TOO.
i was shaking a bit and aLL worried about him.
i asked him the simpLest question/s ever:
"ARE YOU OKAY?? WHERE DOES IT HURT??"




but since he was shocked, he didn't answer me.
enen out of nowhere his shaking mother
came to us and i toLd her right away
the most important thing:
"LET'S GO BRING HIM TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL."
and she was Like: "A.. OK.. WHERE??"
i was Like: "EXACTLY. WHERE."
enen she was saying some cLinic's/ doctor's name
that i didn't understand in any way possibLe..
so i just said we'd bring her boy
to the hospitaL in "bayan".
and so i Let them ride the motorcycLe with me.
(i just toLd our heLper to go home
and get my waLLet and bring it to the hospitaL.)




enen we were just moving for a
coupLe of meters when the mother toLd me
to stop and wait a sec..
enen out of nowhere again,
a super-furious-and-shouting woman
came to us.
she asked me:
"WHERE'S YOUR LICENSE??!! DO YOU HAVE ONE??!!"
and i said: "NO."
(deep inside: yeah. i have a student's License but
i dunno where the heck i kept it coz it was NEVER
needed. i never drive in the highways..
i stay in the viLLage and at the boundary
of the roads where if u cross (driving)
without a heLmet and a License,
YOU'D GET CAUGHT RIGHT THERE AND THEN.)




and she said:
"THAT'S PROHIBITED!! DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE!!
and i was Like: "I KNOW."
she said: "HOW OLD ARE YOU??!!"
me: "19."
she: "AHA!! COME WITH ME TO THE POLICE!!"
me: "OK."
(deep inside: is there a poLice a here??!!
there is not even a singLe "municipaL" traffic enforcer!!)
(coz that part of the worLd is Like a province.
just our viLLage Lies in the inner part
and doesn't reaLLy Look much of a province anymore..)





she said: "HOW OLD ARE YOU??!!"
me: "19 po."
she: "AHA!! COME WITH ME TO THE POLICE!!"
me: "OK po."
(deep inside: is there a poLice here??!!
there is not even a singLe "municipaL" traffic enforcer!!)
(coz that part of the worLd is Like a province.
just our viLLage Lies in the inner part
and doesn't reaLLy Look much of a province anymore..)



she even toLd the mother and the peopLe around
NOT TO LET ME GO. (i never pLanned to escape, anyway..)
but them peopLe didn't Look angry at me or anything..
i was kinda happy that they were Like empathizing on me..



just i heard some parents were
scoLding their kids and teLLing them:
"YOU!! NEVER DO WHAT THAT KID DID, OK??!!
DON'T CROSS THE ROADS WHEN bLah bLah bLah~~"

enen i foLLowed the "super-furious-and-shouting woman"
and we got in front of a JAILGUARD..
(a jaiLguard who didn't even know what happened
and had no cLue what he shouLd do..)
JAILGUARD: "UHM.. SO.. WHAT DO I DO??.."



i thought:
"WOW.. NICE. MY SUGGESTION OF BRINGING
THE BOY TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY WAS THE BEST
AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED N-O-W!!"


~~Let's skip the unimportant parts~~


so we were on our way to the hospitaL again..
and the mother and i were taLking..
she was kinda apoLogizing for the
"super-furious-and-shouting woman"..
i just toLd her it was ok..
i aLso toLd the boy hundreds of times
NOT TO EVER CROSS THE ROAD LIKE THAT AGAIN.
i asked the mother why she was on that side
and her boy is on the other side..
she said her boy asked her for money to
buy some food at the store across the road.
whiLe it was a go, she said she kept on signaLLing
and shouting her boy not to cross..
but another mother caught her attention for a whiLe
enen POOF!! SHE DIDN'T SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
she just knew "it" when them peopLe around toLd her
aLready, and shaking her..



when we got to the hospitaL,
i rushed to the emergency room.
i kinda feLt it was famiLiar
(not just because i experienced being an ER NURSE)
but because i aLready brought my 2nd brother
there once when he had a motor crash..



i toLd the nurse:
"I BUMPED THIS BOY HERE. PLEASE CHECK HIM UP."
nurse: "WHO BUMPED HIM??"
me: ME. (i even raised my hand Like i was so proud.. LOL)


anyways..
so there.
the doctor came and checked him up..
and Like my finding when i checked the boy
at the scene: NO SINGLE SCRATCH (visibLe).
and he asked what hurst but the boy didn't say
a thing.. the mother said: "THE HEAD."


so he ordered for an xray..
i was Like:
"IT'S OK. BUT HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST?? JUST SO I'D BE PREPARED.."


~~skip skip~~


doc: THE XRAY IS NORMAL.
me: YES! THANK GOD! (cLapping my hands.. LOL)


so everything was settLed.
the physicaL assessment/examination
for the boy was aLL normaL.
and the xray was aLL good too.
the doc just prescribed anaLgesic/antipyretic
mostLy for prophyLaxis and yeah for the pain
if ever the chiLd feLt something..


before i parted ways with the mother and her boy,
the mother toLd her boy to
"thank me for not running away.." LOL
crazy huh??


in fairness ay maayos taLga kausap yung
nanay at tunay syang pasaLamat saken.
she said she was just worried about
what her husband might do/say to her
when he finds out..



so the next day (june 2), we met again at the hospitaL
to get their copy of the xray pLate
with the printed resuLts on it and to settLe some stuffs..
i was with my lola (mama emy).
the boy's father was there.
i said good afternoon but he suddenLy said:
"I WANT MY BOY TO UNDERGO CT SCAN."
(with his face aLL frowning and crappy.)
he never dared Look at me for Longer than 1sec.. LOL



i was kinda shocked coz i knew CT Scan
was not needed anymore..



when i rushed the boy at the ER on the very day
of the accident the doc toLd us that CT Scan
was not needed unLess within the 24hours
starting from the time the boy was hit,
he'd show signs of neuro probLems Like
dizzeness, nausea, vomiting, sLeepiness, bLah bLah bLah..



the doc even said that he didn't want to subject
the boy to "super radiation" when it's not
reaLLy necessary.



pLus the fact that CT SCAN IS DAMN EXPENSIVE!!
weLL.. yeah. we can just say that CT SCAN IS EXPENSIVE.
or simpLy.. CT SCAN IS NOT CHEAP!!


LOL


but i toLd them (the parents):
"LET'S JUST WAIT FOR THE DOC'S DECISION.
AND LET'S WAIT FOR THE 24HOURS TO FINISH LATER.
ANYWAYS, YOU HAVE MY NUMBER AND ADDRESS (and i don't have yours).
PLEASE JUST CONTACT ME ANYTIME YOU MIGHT NEED ME
AND I STILL HAVE TO TALK TO MY PARENTS.
THANK YOU."



so it ended there..



and btw. the father's sister was my mom's officemate
and LuckiLy she was kind too (said my mom).
my mom said that the father's sister didn't agree
about the CT Scan thingy too..



my mom toLd me to bring the boy to
that doc again for foLLow-up check up
(supposedLy this morning)
and ask for a medicaL cLearance
stating there that "no further interventions
or diagnosis/exams are needed anymore".



weLL that's ALL FOR LEGALITY'S SAKE.
and TO END THE DOT THAT MIGHT TURN INTO
A VOLCANO IF NOT PREVENTED FROM GETTING BIG.. LOL



i understand the father too..
i understand that he's a parent who is just
"overLy worried" about his Li'L boy..
but.. they have to understand me too..
i am just a student and a chiLd who doesn't
want to give my parents more probLems
aLong with the probLem i aLready gave them..



we can just make Life easier, u know..
the boy was aLL fine. THANK GOD.
but i stiLL pray that he won't have any compLications
forever from that LittLe crappy accident.. *sigh*

aLL in aLL, (i swear) my LittLe crappy accident
was not too serious if you wouLd just be open-minded.
we can aLL just stop making a fuss.. *sigh*



i stiLL hope there'd be no probLems
regarding that matter anymore..



i just wanna move on.. LOL



i'm grounded for driving the motorcycLe
untiL i renew my License (that i am stiLL too Lazy to do).
but i'm a bit excited too..
coz non-professionaL License means
I CAN aLready DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS!! v^.^
that means MORE CHALLENGE!! LOL
and that's even more chaLLenging than
driving a car on the highways.. *wink*



but i don't think i'd be abLe to take
aLL the poLLution and dust and bLah bLah bLah..
now that's a prob..
*sigh*



but anyways..
i don't think my driving skiLL
was even affected by that accident in any way..
i stiLL wanna be confident & unafraid..
it was my first accident (and hopefuLLy the Last..).



Let's just hope for the best. =)



♥take care and i hope u Learned some Lessons.. *haha*

God bLess. =)
