✴Science Trivia✴

Since tatlong araw walang pasok noon back to normal na naman kami. Nandito kami ngayon sa laboratory para pag aralan ang ilan sa mga gamot na iniinom namin ngayon like antibiotic and etch., hindi ko alam kung ano ano yun eh.

Kasama namin ang class 1-B pero di gaya ng dati di na nila kami minamaliit siguro dahil sa napahiya sila akala nila puro lang kami paganda when in fact hindi naman at dahil sa nasa class 1-A ako ayan napapaenglish tuloy ako malala na ata ako.

Nang dumating ang teacher namin ay mas lalo pang tumahimik ang paligid di kasi sya gaya ng isa pa naming teacher dahil feeling ko terror tong lalaking to at masasaksak ko to ng pana pag ako ang tinawag.

"Good morning everyone"

"Goos morning sir."

"Since tapos na ang school fest I hope that everyone of you are ready for our lesson for today." Shemay di ako ready di ako nagbasa basa. Tiningnan ko si Yana at Min mukhang di din sila nagbasa langya ayoko nito baka bigla akong tawagin "And since first year pa lang kayo ay basic muna tayo ipapakilala ko sa inyo kung sino ang mga gumawa ng ilan sa mga gamot na iniinom natin okay?! This is just a trivia."

"Okay sir" sagot naman naming lahat.

"Does anyone here knew what is insulin?" May nagtaas ng kamay mula sa class 1-B "Yes Miss?"

"Gamot po sa diabetes!"

"Correct. Canadian doctor Frederick Banting and American biomedical scientist Charles Best co-discoveted insulin in? Does anyone here know when it was discovered?"

Akala ko ba trivia bakit sya nagtatanong? Jusmiyo ang puso ko mukhang aalis na ata sa katawan ko. May nagtaas mula sa classmates ko, si Joseph.

"1921, sir."

"Good. It was discovered in 1921. Before the discovery, diabetes was a feared disease that almost surely led to death. In 1922, a 14 year old boy nearing death was chosen to receive the first insulin shots. The test was a success." Nagtaas naman ng kamay ang isa sa 1-B

"So sir it means na almost 96 years na ang gamit na to?"

"Yes Mr." Napa whoa naman kami. Tibay ng insulin ah. But its great lalo na at nakatulong yun sa 14 years old na lalaki para mapahaba pa ang buhay.

"Who discovered the stronger and more effective pain killer? And what its name?" Tanong naman ng teacher namin.

Wait parang alam ko to feeeling ko nakwento to sakin ni mommy, pharmacist si mommy kaya alam ko na nakwento nya sakin to. I raised my right hand and everyone in class 1-A is shock.

"Morphine by Friedrich Serturner." Kompyansadong sagot ko at nag nod naman ang teacher namin.

"Very good. Can you explain?" Shemay ang puso ko kinakabahan talaga ako. Tumayo ako saka sinabi ang sinabi sa akin dati ni mommy.

"A German pharmacist who discovered morphine in 1804 was Friedrich Serturner. He was the first to successfully isolate morphine crystals from the poppy plant, in effect creating a much stronger and more effective painkiller. The word morphine was derived from the Greek god of the dreams, Morpheus." Paliwanag ko and he gave me a satisfied smile.
