You can hear these myths the moment you start your clinical clerkship rotation. Endorsements from nurses, previous clerks, interns, residents. And this usually is carried on until you graduate from residency.
These are myths, some believe in them, some don't, some really applies to them. I recently asked for these myths in social media, and these are so far the response I got.
1. Pancit / Noodles

This was actually applicable to me in my clerkship and internship days, once you eat pancit or noodles, toxicity during duty will follow.
2. Spaghetti

Maybe I should include this in the pancit and noodles? But anyways don't eat spaghetti during duty! Kung ayaw mong magsisi ka.
3. Wearing Red

And this just doesn't apply to tops, this includes underwear as well. Although this doesn't apply to me, there are some who swears by this.
4. Studying during duty
Well this one really applies to me, from clerkship to residency. It all started when I was in my clerkship rotation at the emergency room and I tried to open the Baby Schwartz, then 10 minutes later we had an emergency surgery, mangled foot by a truck. So this is particularly true for me.
5. Doing something totally not related to duty
This includes doing research work, (doing blogs for me), doing some administrative errands.
6. Dirty Living
This has many interpretation, like binge-drinking the night before and etc etc. There's even an expression, "Nagdirty-living ka kagabi no?"
7. When you are told "Be Benign"
This was suggested by one of colleagues and swears most of the time really happens.
8. Verbally expressing the desire for a not-toxic duty.
9. KTV
I'm not sure with this, but this was suggested as well.
Do you have any more suggestions of myths you believe in that can lead to a toxic duty?
