the doctor was somewhere else; probably in another hospital, or so i would like to believe. perhaps he was tackling a life-and-death emergency, who knows. i can take comfort though in the fact that none of us, maybe 6 or 7 bored patients-in-waiting, was an emergency case. doctors understandably hardly have time on their hands, but it would be nice if some time estimates can be had so patients like me need not waste our own precious time.

Well, you can always reschedule.

Speaking about patients waiting-- today while I was doing my clinical duties, I entered a room in which a patient was literally 'red' in the face. She was waiting literally 2 hours to be seen, unsaon man lagi, daghan kaayo pasyente pero only few attending M.D's were present and fewer interns (5, and i was included in that number). Suko lagi tong pasyente, pero, kind words and reassurance helped mellow her down.

I am empathetic to your situation, Isles. Hopefully next time your M.D won't be late again.

I saw it in the news not too long ago, a lady patient charged/sued her doctor a specific amount for the three hours of waiting at the doctor's office and she won her case. Pwede kaha pod na diha sa inyo?

Ayaw pod intawn i-encourage ning aksyon, Father, uy! Diri sa America, sue happy ang mga tawo diri. Pinaka sobrang sue happy....to the extent that doctors are now practicing defensive medicine to avoid being sued.

This is one of the many reasons why physicians spend 60% of our time filling papers and documents.

hahay! i should have gone to medical school in the Philippines because of the full scope of practice medical students have in the Philippines. Medical interns in the Philippines are not pressed in having to pay "Medical liability insurance" every year while doing clinical rotations. Diri sa America, anyone is liable.

This is the reason why Filipino doctors who graduated from Philippine Medical Schools are considered "all-around" Docs diri. Dili ma hadlok sila mo dive in sa situation.

Sa Pilipinas, daghang tawo walay kwarta dili ka afford maka check up. Sa America, bisan walay health insurance or walay kwarta, naay MEDASSIST nga mo bayad; naa pod daghang free hospitals/ free health clinics sa America. Daghan gehapon mo sue sa doctors kai naa poy pasyente nga ambisyoso maka kuhang kwarta dali.

Maayo pa ang mga Doctors sa Pilipinas kai walay situwasyon nga daghang liability. My own uncle told me that when he was still a medical student in Cebu, he would already perform circumcision on hundreds of children as per requirement of their rural medicine rotation. That is unheard of here in the United States.

bitaw, my impatience with waiting for the doctor was fleeting. nangita na lang kog positive pagkahuman. kaayo na lang nga wa magdali ang doctor kay gitabang ko.

i had a worse wait some years back. tibuok buntag hangtod mid-afternoon. wa ko sapota ato kay wa koy laing appointment (unlike in my 3-hour wait lately). nganong na-late ang doctor? nagtabang intawon ug himatyonon sa i.c.u. from 4:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., pumping the patient's heart now and then. by the time he came for our appointment, morag katumbahon kay way kaon. i didn't ask him if his patient lived. but i thanked my creator silently because i only needed to wait; i wasn't that suffering patient lying between life and death.

world-renowned suers at that. imagine, some years back, the hilton hotel in new york used to give its extra victuals of the day to the homeless. naunsa nga ikiha na man ang hilton for giving stale food kuno. an 'ambulance-chaser' of a lawyer tipped those homeless off on how to get money. na, hilton decided to just throw its extra food instead. everyone lost.

naa pod sa ato if one only knows where to go. dswd is always a place to ask help from, honest. the other is the philippine charity sweepstakes office, from the provincial to the national level. of course, we have our rural health clinics whose services are free; manned by a doctor at the municipal level and a midwife at the barangay level. (most of our nurses would rather go abroad.)

himoon pa man gani ning rural health clinics ug outlets sa abortifacient contraceptives kun madayon ang rh bill. (n.b. contraceptives are actually already available now in rural health units.) so far, one can also have access to vaccinations and first aid medicines.

kaso, ingrained na sa pinoy mentality nga kun gobyerno, wa gyoy ayo, mao nga di na lang moadto ug mangayo ug panabang. but believe me, they work.

i'm done reading, at least for the day, anything i could about the impeachment of chief justice corona. the whys and wherefores in the run-up to the impeachment are indeed disturbing. so far, many characters are falling flat on their faces, from congressmen to palace bureaucrats. and so far, only the senate has managed to remain august vis-a-vis the impeachment. or so i guess.

it's the doctor again today. it's another doctor and the wait was longer... 9:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. i was so hungry after a light breakfast and a delayed lunch.

i got to talk with a very talkative nun. she turned out to be a nurse accompanying a 90-year-old fellow nun. their wait was longer, so who am i to complain? to think that their congregation is the hospital's administrator. they gave me rosary beads, glad to know that i'm a product of one of their schools.

anyway, i have to go back to the hospital for more tests. drat this sedentary lifestyle.
