  1. The people who reacted on her post are probably nurses and doctors working in PGH. Ayokong mag generalize ha, pero karamihan talaga sa public hospitals dito sa atin, borderline from cold to rude ang staff, nurses and doctors.

    1. Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan... pangit! :) I just wish these nurses and doctors take this feedback constructively rather than taking it personally. Kaya hindi nag-iimprove ang services sa government hospitals eh, balat-sibuyas pag may mga feedback on their service. Kalokang mga professional ito!

    2. Kasi kulang ang pasweldo. More work and low pay. Kawawa kasi ang Pinas. Sa halip na taasan sweldo ng mga doctor at nurse kalevel din sila ng mga pribadong sektor na employee. Sa gobyerno lang mataas ang sweldo madalas. That is why they sometimes tend to be rude. Kasi nga mahirap. Try mo

    3. Hay naku! Tama ka diyan! Yan din napansin ko sa mga public hospitals, ang susungit ng mga nurses and doctors. Siguro dahil na din alam nilang karamihan mga mahihirap ang mga nagpapagamot sa kanila.

    4. kasi naman yung mga nurse ngayon, mayayaman or maarte. volunter lang karamihan sa kanila kasi ang aim talaga nila ay makapag.abroad kaya wala silang amor sa mga mahihirap na nagpapagamot sa public hospitals.bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan, wala akong paki kung magalit kayo sakin..

    5. Very true. Minsan sumama ako sa isang friend para dalawin ang isang relative niya na naka-confine sa charity ward ng PGH. Na-witness ko kung paano tratuhin ng 'langhiyang doktor ang pobreng pasyente. Sinisigaw-sigawan pati nga kami nadamay sa paninigaw ng sira ul*ng doktor na iyon. Wala namang kadahi dahilan ang paninigaw niya. Kawawa naman iyong nanay ng pasyente, hindi malaman kung kukumutan o hindi ang anak niya sa sobrabg oagka-taranta. Ang sakit sa dibdib maka-witness ng ganun. Noon ko na-realise na kawawa talaga ang mahihirap na walang pambayad sa ospital. Gusto kong murahin at sampalin iyong bastos na doktor na iyon kaya lang baka makasama sa pasyente pag nagkaron ng kaguluhan. Ang mga hinayupak (hindi naman siguro lahat) na doktor at nurses sa ospital na iyan nakakasuka ang mga ugali!.Kung itrato ang mahihirap akala mo mga hayop. Makarma sana kayo!

    6. Hello negative people who are bashing everyday heroes. You try working in a government hospital first before you judge. And I dont think any doctor will shout for no reason, and I would if the mother is accidentally killing her child because of ignorance. And honestly, those people working in a government hospital are there because they want to serve the poor. No one, I repeat no one would want to risk her life, time, money and efforts in a place with too many patients, too little resources, where no amount of money can ever compensate the workload we handle. Binubuwis na ang buhay araw-araw, wala ng oras sa pamilya lalo na sa sarili, ginagawa pang masama sa social media. Sinong hindi magagalit niyan?? Kayo ang mga walang-hiya, makarma sana kayo.

    7. Anon 5:39 if you think it is hard to work in a public hospital and you tend to sacrifice your time for your family then pack your things and resign. The truth is you reacted negatively on her tweets because you know that what pullido said is correct. I am speaking also in my own experience that nurses and doctors in public hospitals are really rude and disrespectful. Sorry not sorry bit thats the truth.

    8. I advice u guys na nagsasabi nyan,get into nursing profession, and see how hard and how compassionate ang health sectors in giving care to those who in need, most likely in govt hoapitals, my mga nurses dun na 20yrs n sa hospital, sa tingin nyo kulang p din sa compassion un? Lakas ng loob nyo magsalita hnd naman kayo mga nurse or doctor.

    9. affected much si anon 5:39 pm kasi isa siya sa mga rude na hospital staff. Hindi naman sinabing lahat ano ka ba? Huwag mo rin sabihin na lahat ng staff ay maayos ang trato sa mga indigents dahil g*g* ka pag ganun. maituturing ba na bayani ang isang taong bastos na walang alam sa pakikipag-kapwa tao?
      Ang makakarma yong mga bastos at ipokrito na nagtatanggol sa maling gawa!

    14. I don't see any wrong on Ms.Pulido's tweet. It's what she saw and she has all the right to tweet her opinion. To put it simple: the truth hurts. It's one eye-sore that we have for the longest time. She didn't even suggest to work on it. We will all be glad if someone have the pure heart to solve this problem --- but with so many problems that our local government is facing right now - i doubt that someone will even care to read by heart Ms. Pulido's comment.

  2. That was one observation made by a journalist whom we have no reason to not believe what she saw. How come so many people are jumping on her for her comment. If they are so sure that PGH have a lot of compassion then prove it rather than be militant about it.

    1. They are jumping on her comment because it is quite an irresponsible thing to release to social media given her profession. The tweet makes it out to be that she is referring to the health care professionals in PGH; she clarified on later tweets that the lack of compassion she observeded was in the context of gov't support to the severely undermanned and spartan public hospital. As a journalist, she should know better than to make statements with intentions that can very easily be twisted and churned into fuel for a sensitive topic.

      Also why should the burden of proof be on the people who criticized her observation, misleading though it may be?

      Delete
    2. She could have elaborated more on her comment and not generalize. Kung doctor man yun o nurse ang naka-trigger ng comment na yun, eh di pangalanan niya sa comment niya. Journalist siya di ba? Dapat may specific target yung sinasabi niyang walang compassion. At sana inelaborate niya kung ano ang nangyari at nasabi niyang walang compassion. Kung yung sa cebu nga na pari na may pinagalitan na-video ng hindi joirnalist, siya pa kaya?

    3. I couldn't agree more.

    4. It's Twitter. People share their thoughts. Would it be this big of a deal if, say, a kid tweeted this instead of Maki Pullido? That's what she saw and that's what she felt -- is it a crime to say how you feel on your Twitter account?

  4. Ganyan naman talaga sa karamihan ng government hospitals. Yung mga nurse, ang susungit sa mga indigent patients. Kasi alam nilang di papalag yang mga yan. I-compare nyo with nurses sa private hospitals; magagalang ang mga nurses kasi alam nilang may kaya ang mga pasyente dun at pwede silang away-awayin. Biased lang talaga.Money reveals character so to speak.

    1. Wow teh, judgmental much? Nagtrabaho ako both sa private and government hospital at gusto kong sabihin dyan sa makitid mong utak na ang respeto sa tao hindi nasusukat sa dami ng pera. Sobrang humbling experience ang magtrabaho bilang nurse. Hindi madali at hindi glamorosa. HIndi naman nurses ang problema kundi ang resources ng hospital at ang suporta ng gobyerno. Wag masyadong know it all. Muka namang hindi ka nagtatrabaho sa ospital kaya hindi mo alam ang mga sinasabi mo.

    8. I'm also a doctor at a public hospital. This should be a wake up call to all health workers in the public sector. Come on, guys! Remember the saying of Hippocrates? The Father of Medicine?

      "CURE sometimes, TREAT often, COMFORT always."

      Medicine is NOT primarily about curing disease. It's primarily about GIVING COMFORT to patients.

      And we are NOT obliged to pay for the medications of our patients out of our own pockets. That's NOT a part of our job.

      If a dying patient comes to you with no funds to buy medications, the least you can do is to COMFORT the patient and let him pass away with DIGNITY. Again, you are NOT obliged to provide funds for the patient's medicines, but as a doctor, you are obliged by the HIPPOCRATIC OATH to provide COMFORT to the patient. Being RUDE to patients is CONTRARY to what medicine is all about! Because, as I've said, Medicine is about giving COMFORT.

      I am not perfect. I have been guilty of being rude to patients as well. Sometimes, it's just inevitable when you're stressed. But everyday I keep on reminding myself that medicine is not just about healing. It's more about giving COMFORT.

      I hope you'll all think about it.

  8. I am neither a doctor or a nurse. Sometimes journalists should take a look at the background and the "behind the scenes" and not make a hasty conclusion based on what they see at that moment. Siguro ang mga nurses at doctors sa PGH kung walang compassion sa kanilang mga puso ay matagal nang nagsilayasan sa ospital na yan. PGH is just an example of how the government channels its funds to other things they think are more important than public health care and education.

    1. True. May niece din ako na nag-duty sa mga gov't hospitals at nai-kwento niya ang kaawa awang kalagayan ng mahihirap na pasyente. Iyong ibang mga datihan ng doktor at nars dun, grabe daw ang treatment sa mga pasyente. Awang awa daw siya pero walang siyang magawa. May iba rin daw naman na mababait. Ang point dito is nangyayayari talaga iyan lalo sa mga ospital ng gibyerno.

    3. Yes, truth hurts.
      But what hurts more is when people make hasty generalizations even if they don't have a single idea what they are talking about.

  12. I think what Maki is trying to emphasize is the "over compassion" the doctors at PNP General Hospital is giving to a corrupt senator like Enrile by giving him special treatment. Gayundin ang paglilipat kay Gigi Reyes sa Heart Center dahil naiinitan siya at di makahinga sa selda nya sa Taguig. Kabaligtaran ito ng kakarampot na atensiyong ibinibigay ng gobyerno sa marami nating mahihirap na kababayan na nagsisiksikan sa ward ng mga public hospital gaya ng PGH dahil wala silang pambayad at di sila powerful gaya ni Enrile.

  20. On another context. Pwede rin namang no compassion pertaining to government's lack of support to PGH. Jumping to conclusions agad agad!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I had a relative who was confined in the private ward of PGH for so many times. Even though we were part of the paying group, some nurses and doctors had given us a cold treatment while others stretched out their means to help us out with our needs.

    Whenever I had nothing to do, I roam around the vicinity to check on the place and others. For patients who were confined on the charity ward, Maki Pulido's statement must be spot on. The government had completely forgotten the medical needs of the indigents. While some of the medical staff can be truly caring, some treated the patients like a perfect target for their bad hairday.

    The lack of compassion from the government is undeniably true but for the medical staff, it is subjective and dependent on who you are dealing with.

And one last thing, mostly ng staff work in public hospitals to gain experience to work overseas. That's fine ganun talaga, but do your job properly while working in public hospitals. You don't need to be compassionate, just don't be rude. Subukan nyong maging mahirap at may sakit

  26. I am a doctor from PGH, and like other staff from this institution, was also hurt with Maki Pulido's tweet. However, what hurt me more were the comments of the people here. Most of you doesn't really have any idea kung ano nangyayari sa isang government hospital like PGH. PGH is a tertiary hospital, meaning it is a referral center kapag hindi na kaya ng other hospitals na imanage ang sakit ng patient; meaning karamihan ng pasyente pangit na kapag dumadating dito. At may mga pasyente pa na galing sa ibang lugar (karamihan ay taga cavite) na pumupunta dito para sa simpleng ubo or para manganak dahil lang sa kawalan ng public hospital sa kanilang lugar. So imagine the bulk ng pasyente na dumadating sa emergency room at naaadmit sa ward araw-araw. The capacity of our ER is only 20, but we admit as high as 60-70 patients. And worse, more than 80% of these patients ay walang pera.

    Let me clarify na ang libre lang sa PGH ay kama, doctor at pagkain ng pasyente. The rest, like, laboratories and medicines ay may bayad na, although mas mura than other hosptials. Imagine the frustration of the doctors or nurses na may darating na critical na pasyente at ang dala nila ay 100 pesos lang, which happens most of the time. What do you expect us to do, titigan namin ang pasyente? Wait for them na magkapera bago kami gumalaw?

    What usually happens is that we shell out our own money to pay for the laboratories and buy medicines of our patients. A typical PGH doctor usually gets about P28,000 a month, but we give around P5000-10,0000 per month for our patients. One time, i gave a total of P15,000 for a single patient sa ICU para lang mabuhay. And no, not all doctors came from well-off family. And no, the hospital or the government don't pay us back for the money we gave to our patients from our own pockets. And we can only do so much.

    Yes maybe, PGH doctors and nurses may not have any compassion (though i dont know how to put this word in PGH context). I admit na marami na rin akong nasigawan na pasyente. But let me tell you na most of us ay hindi galit dahil mahihirap lang sila like many of you tries to insinuate. Galit kami sa sitwasyon, galit kami sa sistema, galit kami sa kakulangan ng tulong galing sa gobyerno. Para sa doctor na nagduduty ng 36-48hours straight na walang tulog, para sa doctor na kumakain ng lunch ng madaling araw, para sa doctor na hindi pa naliligo kahit basang basa na ng pawis, masakit sa amin kapag sinabing wala kaming compassion para sa aming mga pasyente.

    Siyempre, kahit ano naman sabihin ko dito ay wala namang magagawa. Parepareho naman tayong bikitima: ang mga mahihirap na pasyente, biktima ng kawalang tulong na galing sa sarili at sa gobyerno; ang mga doctor at nurse na biktima ng sistemang mahirap ng ayusin; at mga taong mapanghusga na biktima ng kawalang impormasyon sa kung ano talaga ang totoong nangyayari.

Gaya ng sinabi mo, di natin lahat kasalanan ito.

    1. Remember, PGH is a tertiary hospital. Meaning, as much as possible, critical and difficult cases lang ang iaadmit due to the bulk of patients. Kaya nga may local hospital. If we allow everyone to be admitted at PGH, mas lalong kawawa ang magiging pasyente. Ikaw, gusto mo bang manganak sa sahig o yung asawa mo?

      Regarding the patients na nakita mo nagcamp sa labas ng PGH, those are the patients na titignan ng OPD na admittedly kailangang pumila ng madaling araw at matatapos ng hapon. Again, due to the bulk of patients going to PGH using little resources. Nakausap mo ba yung mga pasyenteng sinasabi mo? Nakausap mo ba ang staff ng PGH bago mo sabihing hindi sila pinapansin?

  33. From FB:

    I only rarely react to news posted in my timeline, but this one hit a nerve.

    I've said it once, and I'll say it again: the only people who have the right to make such callous remarks about PGH are the ones who have worked and stayed inside one of its wards for at least 24 hours.

    People who go to PGH are the poorest of poor, or those who used to have enough but whose finances were drained by the private hospitals people so easily and gloriously praise because they have "better customer service."

    PGH units tend to 60 patients in a 40-patient capacity ward. The ER continuously admits the sick, even when some of them are left with no recourse but to sleep on cardboards on the hallway. Only 2-3 nurses and doctors go on duty in a ward with 45 beds, half of whom should be admitted in an ICU. The staff literally shells out money from their own pockets (or the pockets of their parents) to pay for neuroimaging, antibiotics, OR fees and other hospital needs for people they are not even related to, a few of whom steal from them, and most of whom end up in the hospital because of carelessness (i.e., not having their child vaccinated in a health center just ACROSS their house), or just sheer ignorance.

    The healthcare staff literally give their own blood to patients whose lives depend on it. They sacrifice time away from their own families, miss important events in their loved ones' lives, miss seeing their children grow, work to the wee hours of the morning with barely an hour's worth of sleep, and suffer each and every single time they lose a life. Most of them do not even get any compensation from the hospital. Yet, every morning, they dust themselves up and go through the same cycle again in the hopes of helping a stranger in need.

    PGH workers are hostages to a system that cannot sustain the population that it serves. It does not have the best conditions, and it intermittently makes a monster out of the saintliest of saints, but working in it, for the most part, collectively brings out the rawest sense of humanity: the desire to save another human's life, at the expense of one's own well-being.

    Compassion is defined as consciousness of others' distress together with the desire to alleviate it. If you think you are compassionate just because you interview people in disaster areas, or because you hug them when the cameras are on, while being quick to judge an institution you've probably just visited for two hours tops, think again. Kindly take a moment to sit down and open your dictionary. From all the "compassion" you believe you've done in your work, you've probably forgotten the textbook definition of the word.

    It is so easy to judge if you are from the outside looking in. But unless you've walked in our shoes, sacrificed half as much, or given a fraction of "an ounce" of your life to serving the poor you think you know so well, your opinion is nothing but an unfounded generalization from a person whose work is primarily based on reporting the facts.

    You only have one job, Maki Pulido. The least you can do is to do it right.

    5. I'm a government doctor too. The point that the commenters are making here is that doctors and nurses have NO RIGHT to be rude to patients. Remember, medicine is not really about healing the patient. It's primarily about giving COMFORT to the patients. And remember, we are NOT obliged to pay for our patient's medications out of our own pockets. That is NOT part of our job. The least we can do is to provide COMFORT to them.

      Being rude to patients is contrary to what medicine is all about. No matter how much money you've spent for your patients, it does NOT give you a license to be rude.

      If a dying patient comes to you with no money to buy medicines, the least you can do is to provide COMFORT to the patient and let him die with dignity. Again, you are NOT obliged to spend your own money for the patient's needs. If the patient has no funds for his own health care, then it is NOT your fault.

  40. I have worked as an intern in PGH and I have also been hurt because of Maki Pulido's post. Sure, some people would say that others who reacted negatively are defensive PGH employees. It's easy to say that no compassion exists in PGH if you would base it from looking on the sidelines or if you just merely observe for an hour or two. People who have worked in PGH could clearly attest to literally feeling your heart break every time you see indigent patients who cling on the slightest bit of hope. Residents and interns alike have spent so many sleepless nights in order to cater to as many patients as possible. But one has to take note of the fact that a person can only do so much. If compassion is indeed lacking in the hospital, do not blame it on the employees. Put the blame on the government.

  42. Sa PGH po ako nag-rotate noong ako'y estudyante ng Medisina, at alam ko pong madalas masigawan at masungitan ang mga pasyente sa PGH. Pero alam ko rin po na madalas (halos palagi, kung tutuusin), ang mismong mga doktor na sumigaw at nagsungit ay siya ring handang magbayad -- galing sa sarili nilang mga bulsa -- para sa gamot/laboratoryo/operasyon ng kanilang mga pasyente. Noong ako'y estudyante, pupunta pa kami sa Bambang ng mga kaklase ko para bumili ng mga syringe at vial pampakuha ng dugo, para tuwing kailangan ng pasyente ng CBC o anupamang laboratoryo, may magagamit kami para sa kanila -- para kahit wala silang pambayad sa gamit ay mapapadala pa rin ang laboratoryong kailangan nila. Alam kong maliit lamang na bagay ito; mas marami ang sakripisyo na ibinigay ng aking mga seniors, ang mga residenteng doktor. Bilang estudyante, nakita ko ang aking mga residente na naglalabas ng pera para mabayaran ang mechanical ventilator ng kanilang pasyente na kung hindi mailagay sa ventilator ay titigil nang paghinga; nakita ko ang mga residenteng nagbabayad para sa mamahaling antibiotics ng mga bata sa Pedia ward, dahil walang pambayad ng gamot ang magulang ng bata, at kung hindi mabigyan ng antibiotics ay mabilis na lalala ang sakit nito. Ngayon marami sa aking mga kaklase ang naging kasalukuyang mga residente ng PGH, at pareho pa rin ang nangyayari. Sila pa rin ang naglalabas ng pera, dahil kulang pa rin ng budget ang ospital. At lahat ng ito habang nagtratrabaho sila nang 24, 36, 48 hours nang tuloy-tuloy, nang walang pahinga. At alam naman po siguro natin na hindi kalakihan ang suweldo ng mga doktor sa PGH. Hindi kalakihan ang suweldo, pero pinili pa rin nilang magtrabaho doon, patuloy pa rin nilang ibinibigay hindi lamang ang kanilang oras at galing, pero pati pera, para sa kanilang mga pasyente.

Kung pera din lang nmn ang habol ng mga doctor, sana nag pribadong clinic na lang sana sila para makapaningil pa kada-pasyente. Pero hindi. Sa sweldo nila, may mga doctor na naglalaan ng magkano para sa mga tunay na nangangailangan. Ang mga nurses na nag-aalaga, ganun din. Sa tingin ninyo walang compassion dun?

  57. I have been to different hospitals because my mom has cancer. We come from a "middle income" family but cancer treatment and even the tests before it cost a lot of money so my aunt tried getting help from a doctor who promised that she would endorse us to DSWD so we can get financial assistance. When we went there to meet her for the first time, my aunt approached her saying we were there to see her and the first words out of her mouth were: "ayy, walang pera, ang aga aga, dun kayo sa baba may proseso dun sa charity. Sus kaaga aga walang pera!" In full earshot of everyone down the hall!

    Indignant, I stood up (and she was taken by surprise) and said: "we came here to get my mom checked. And I will pay." A few English words were enough to throw her off and her condescension faltered. Discrimination. Money. For her it is all about money. Mom got confined for 5 days, tests were run. Unnecessary doctors were pulled onboard (her amigos and amigas). Long story short, bill skyrocketed. And DSWD rep at the hospital? Was shouting and talking down to the indigents... Acted as if she owned the place and as if SHE were the one doling out financial assistance to these people desperate for help. She shouted at my 65 year old father who was asking why she was denying us assistance just because my mom was my hmo dependent--an hmo btw that did not cover squat. Sickening treatment from both private and public hospitals.

    I am NOT saying ALL medical practitioners are like these people. But she is a poor representation of all others who are doing their work honorably and self-sacrificially. There IS compassion in hospitals, public or private. And I laud the people who demonstrate it. But we see the business side of it more. Once they see you are incapable of paying, they treat you differently, speak to you differently, ignore your requests, talk trash about patients at the nursing station, chew gum while speaking to you and doing triage, etc. I have seen and witnessed a lot, whether this unprofessional behavior was directed at us or others.

  58. From a nurses' POV, it's just a mere constructive criticism...hey nurses/doctors or any hospital staff, reality bites right? I am a nurse myself, but i can say not all have the compassion to treat patients humanely. It's not even an excuse that we are receiving low salary, that we are overworked...if your're not happy with the system in your work better leave because i believe that there are more nurses out there whose more compasionate and more efficient enough in taking care or saving lives.

  59. totoo naman talaga yan, bkt nagagalit ung iba?! syempre pag marami pera mas aasikasuhin nila yan tapos pag mahirap lang sisigaw sigawan lang tapos d manlang papansinin ung iba.. even private hospitals do that hindi lang sa public..nasa ugali kasi yan ng tao hindi naman lahat pero mostly.

  61. Let's face it folks... ang mga pinoy sa kapwa pinoy, basta mababa ang antas sa buhay, minamata ng mas nakakataas. Laluna yung may mga pinag aralan, akala mo kung sino sila. Pero kapag sa ibang lahi, akala mo kung sinong maamong tupa. Sa america, di makabasag pinggan. Pero pag uwi sa pinas, akala mo kung sinong hari.

  64. I'm in for Maki Pulido.. di ka nag iisa... Dapat ilantad mo sa medya ang mga gawain nila dyan sa PGH. Puro reklamo sa kanilang mga pasyente pero pag silay siningil ng BIR ang daming reklamo. Tandaan nyo ang nagpapasweldo sa inyo mga taong bayan... MAHIYA naman kayo kahit konti!!! kaya wala kayong amor sa mga taong mahihirap na nagpapagamot. sana bumalik ka sa sinumpaan mo sayong profession!!!

  66. Ako po mismo'y kasalukyang nagtatrabaho sa pampublikong ospital na ito. Kung minsan ay napapadpad ako dito sa FP para mapasaya ang araw ko, matapos ang nakakapagod na duty na halos walang tulog o kain, at kadalasan, ay napagagaan ang loob ko sa katatawa sa mga komento ng mga tao dito.

    Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, hindi ako natawa sa mga komento kundi naiyak po ako. Nalungkot ako hindi dahil nasaktan ako sa mga patama ninyo. Nalungkot po ako dahil alam kong may mga tao (doktor/nurse/radtech/manong/estudyante/janitor/guard/admin officer/etc) na kahit pagod na ay sinusubukan paring ngumiti sa harap ng mga pasyente. Dahil alam namin na kahit gaano kami naghihirap ay iba parin ang paghihirap na pinagdaraanan ng mga pasyente at mga kapamilya nila. Sana po maisip ng ilang nagsusulat dito na may mga tao pong hindi pera ang batayan ng respeto at pagtrato sa tao at gagawin ang lahat para matulungan kayo. Kung may mga taong naninigaw dahil sa tinatawag na "compassion fatigue," may mga tao rin pong ngumingiti at sinusubukang pagaanin ang mga buhay ng mga pasyente sa ospital na ito. Kung maaaari lang po sana ay humingi kami ng pasensya para sa mga taong hindi mabuti ang trato sa inyo, tulad ng paghingi niyo ng pasensya sa sitwasyon na ikinalalagyan niyo.

    Hindi ko po sinadyang pahabain ang komentong ito, pasensya na. Nais ko lang po sanang magpakita ng ibang pananaw para sa mga mapanghusgang mata ng ibang tao.

  68. Reality bites? Truth hurts?
    Andaling sabihin. But it hurts more if you're being reduced to something that you are not.
    I joined the conversations in this blog hoping that at least one soul could understand where doctors are coming from. but i think it just fell on deaf ears.
    i won't argue anymore because it's futile. I dont owe any of you any explanation and i dont need to prove ourselves to all of you. At the end of the day, i am able to help. kayo, nakakatulong ba?


    ps bawal pala magalit ang mga doctor sa mga pasyente, pero pwedeng magalit at bastusin ng mga tao ang mga doctor dahil lang sa isang isyung wala silang alam.
    your doctors need compassion too.

    Bye everyone.

  69. I don't think na may kinalaman ang gobyerno sa pagtrato ng ibang doctors at nurses sa kawawang mga pasyente. Walang kontrol ang gorbyerno sa ugali ng bawat tao,choice nyo yan ang sigawan ang mga kawawang tao!!!! #Itsthesoulthatneedsasurgery

  71. 101% AGREE with Maki!!! We have very poor social health services, very reflective of a third world country. This is one area, I'm ashamed of being a Filipino. Sayang ang billion billion na tax na kinurakot lang pala!

  72. I've been hospitalized in a public hospital, but not in PGH but in RMC in Pasig. Yung mga nagpaanak sakin, ayaw nila ng maarte. I mean nagkakandapilipit ka na sa sakit, sisisihin ka pa na kesyo ginawa mo yan, wag ka maarte na para bang wala kang karapatan dumaing dahil masakit naman talaga manganak. May mga sneer comments pa sila na sa kanila mo lang narinig throughout your pregnancy that even my mother didn't told me before! My gosh. Super booooo sa patient service. And first time ko makarinig ng isang OB na sinabihan ng walanghiya ang pasyente dahil sa masalimuot na nangyari sa buhay nun babae. Manganganak pero walang gamit. Walang nagawa yun babae kundi lunukin ang masasakit na salita nun doktora. Much worse pag nalaman nila na dalagang ina ka, wala kang asawa etc..Pero madalas sa delivery/labor ko naririnig un. But wait, pati mga janitorial staff, ang babastos! Pinapagalitan yun mga kapapanganak lang na ina na kesyo makalat, etc..I mean, p*ta talaga, wala na ba talagang maiiwang dignidad sa mahihirap? Di naman nila ginusto maging ganun. Oo may mga iresponsable sa ilang pasyente pero labas na kau dun. Gawin nyo kung ano trabaho nyo hindi para dagdagan pa un pain na nararanasan ng mga pasyente nyo.

    On the other hand, nasubukan ko magpaopera sa kanila. Nice naman un mga nasa ENT. Inasikaso naman ako throughout my check-ups and operation. My conclusion, ayaw nila matitigas ulo. Kung ano bilin ng doktor, sundin mo. Kung may pinabibili gamot, bilhin mo kasi alangan naman sila pa mag-abono at iti-treat ka naman ng maayos. Kaya lang ayoko na talaga manganak dun sa RMC. Sobrang bastos talaga nun ibang OB dun. Kitang kita mo talaga yun disparity between rich and the poor pag nasa ospital ka.

  73. My mom had stayed at pgh charity ward for three weeks. Madalas ko siyang bantayan noon. Sa kulang isang buwan napatunayan kong kahit mga mahihirap ang mga payente at kahit kulang kulang ang kagamitan sa pgh, magagaling, mababait, at maalaga pa rin ang mga doktor doon, pati ang mga nars. Inaral nilang mabuti ang kaso ng nanay ko at talagang pinaliwanag ang kanyang kalagayan. Angsipag ng mga doktor na magrounds at kung hindi naman sila nasa ward, andoon sila sa outpatient department para sa consultation at check up.The only time I witnessed a doctor scolding was when the patient and her caretaker did not listen and follow instructions given. Matigas ang ulo ng bantay at hindi naaalagaan ang pasyente kaya nagalit ang doktor.
