Was told by an Angkas driver last night that for faster booking, use cash, not credit card or Gcash, as payment.
Credit card or Gcash use delays the receipt of their payment by 2 days,l (with fees pa), so drivers choose trips that are paid in cash.
Akala ko after travel, may feeling na refreshed tayo, na game na game magwork. Was looking forward on that. Bakit hindi nangyari? Bakit parang ang realization ay sana ganun na lang lagi, enjoy life na lang?

LIBRE* ang mga gamot na eto sa mga Philhealth-accredited Konsulta primary care clinic!
Let's generate demand! Pinoys can avail these meds & primary care services in our assigned primary care providers. Ideally, patients are referred back to their primary care providers.
Sa totoo lang kasama sa pag dodoktor ang alamin ang presyo ng mga gamot at bilangin ang gastos ng pasyente para sa pang araw-araw na maintenance. Hindi pwedeng reseta lang basta basta.

WFH for first week of 2022 🙏🏻 My family tested positive for COVID19 5 days ago. Thank God our symptoms are MILD & I believe that is because we have been fully vaccinated & have had booster shots.
VACCINES WORK! That’s the best gift you can give your family this 2022!
That webinar on home management of COVID19?
55k live viewers on FB (500k+ total) +10k on Youtube, 13k shares after the event (still counting)
No pubmat, just spread thru group chats, & no one knows where it will be livestreamed minutes before the event.
Sign of people's fear?
Insightful comment from PRC during Medical Act hearing.
"We have the longest medical education in Southeast Asia, but we lag in terms of health outcomes."
There's resistance to shorter med education, but fortunately "innovative" curriculum is included in the proposed bill.
Last Monday, our Zamboanga TB clinic nurse called a 40yo-patient to tell him he has drug-resistant TB.
Initially managed as CAP-MR, he was referred to our clinic for workup.
Unfortunately, he died over the weekend, before we called him.
First hand account that TB still kills.
Having this impression that some senior citizens (at least my relatives) dont want to be vaccinated because they're waiting for the vaccine procured by their children's companies.
With threat of Delta variant, let's convince them to take whatever vaccine is offerred to them.
Naalala ko na naman yung recent TB patient namin (private but free clinic setting) na nagkadepressive symptoms dahil hindi sya tinanggap sa permanent position sa isang national government agency dahil may TB sya. 😔 Bawal yun sabi ng DOLE.
Hence, my tweet.
Ingat sa "heal as one" motto. Almost the same sa "we win as one". Law we have now is "Bayanihan to Heal as One". May feeling ako na epal moves ni Allan Peter.

First gen MD na nga, nalihis pa ng landas 😅.
Hirap ipaliwanag sa mga tao (at kabarangay!) yung public health, na wala akong coat at clinic.
At yes, challenge din sa first gen MDs in public health ang walang generational wealth. May pressure na kumita e lesser ang income dito.
Another tita advised to look for a government position for retirement benefits.
This is a very valid adulting advice. Perhaps still privileged I'm living comfortably while in less consistent private sector for years in devt field.
Inevitably we'll soon have to consider it.
Thanked my driver for having my trip despite him being several kilometers away. Had several attempts to book one that night.
He told me a number of drivers were actually just near me, waiting for trips, & most likely they didn't accept my trip because I was using my credit card.

The "the best vaccine is the one offerred to you" must be contextualized.
It is right. We can't select. There's limited supply, urgent need. But w/ assumption of trust to the regulatory processes.
Here in PH, Sinopolitics & lack of transparency are in play. Can't blame people.

It's easier for them to choose Leni than BBM.
BBM supporters I think won't mind switching to Leni, but for Leni supporters, it will mean conflicting values if they are asked to choose BBM.
The group will risk losing or demotivating their members if they choose BBM.

After DTTB & having 2 yrs as municipal health officer, I thought the stint will be my competitive advantage (given I'm a low-ranked med student).
Sabi ko pa noon, "sayang ang 2 yrs of DTTB if hindi ko siya magagamit sa work."
Kung first gen MD ka, anong learning gusto mong ipasa sa kapwa first gen MD mo?
Practical tips or words of wisdom, share away.
I'll start: update your CV every year. You can still learn and work on other things outside your clinical specialty.
There is now a pending shortage of midwives in the country. In one city LGU, there are 40 vacant items now, but without takers.
The reason? Midwifery now requires 4 years of education, vs 2 years before, and students opt for nursing and other profession instead of midwifery.

Community quarantine is for us to stay in NCR, in our homes.
Not to go out to the provinces.
This is to prevent the spread of infection.

Difficult to respond to "May kilala ka ba sa PGH?" when we know that in primary health care, there should be gatekeeping (primary level first before going to secondary or tertiary care) for efficient use of resources.

@PinoyAkoBlog
. I saw you RTed this. I love,support your "resibo" blog, so let me clarify some misconceptions.
Fumigation & face masks are not recommended for this outbreak. Misconceptions. Just a populist act. Handwashing, cough etiquette, social distancing still the best.
Kaya love namin si Mayor Kit. Action agad ang taong ito.
Nakita ko nga nag thermal scanning sa mga bahay-bahay sa may Filinvest. I am guessing sunod na din ang ilang baranggay after. Close monitoring ang gusto ni Mayor. He also wants us to be on alert also. Lezdodis. 💪

My friend's reaction when I shared these stats: desperate at uhaw ang mga tao sa impormasyon, dahil naiwan na lang tayo na kanya kanya na lang.
This is disturbing. SIM Card registration and anti-terrorism law will be used against progressives, coming from a government official. Someone from the government should clarify this.
The impending nonrenewal of contracts of thousands of community nurses & midwives deployed in almost all municipalities in the country will surely hinder the efforts in achieving universal health coverage, in making our public health programs & services accessible to our people.
In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

Also, bakit hindi controlled ang BP? Sino yung doctor na nagsabi na he should not attend the hearing?
We usually can control our patients' high BP using our "lowly" free antihypertensives sa health center.

Do you know a private hospital in NCR/4A/3 interested in having a TB clinic that is third party-operated, DOH-certified, no cost for hospital, but providing FREE TB services?
