We went to a pediatric neurologist yesterday for my baby's cranial ultrasound and this was how the doctor broke the news to me (mother of the patient), " Di sya normal kasi...". That was literally how she started talking about my baby's brain. Wala man lang cushion to the blow. Then she proceeded to explain the ultrasound. After her short, very-matter-of-fact, lacking human empathy consultation, it took only around 5 or 8 minutes, she then asked me how many days was my baby intubated in the NICU. I told her I can't recall as I was also in the high risk ward for days recovering from preeclampsia, it was my husband who was tending to our baby from day one until i was fully recovered. Neither my husband nor the nurses, everytime i asked, told me about my baby's status to protect me from stressing out while in recovery. Then she said in a snarky and dismissive manner "di mo man lang inalam, oh sige na ok na, tapos na kayo" like she was shooing away a dog. The god complex was heavy on her. I have never encountered a doctor as cold as her and i accompany my dad to his neurologist na pila balde ang patient unlike her pero napakapleasant na tao. Wala bang course even for a semester or whatever ang mga doctor sa med school about proper ways to show respect to your patient and how to break news to them? I was so shocked yesterday that i rushed my ate who waa carrying my baby so we can get out of her clinic. I looked her up sa fb then found out she's from UPM. Napakaganda ng med school where she earned her degree yet she ended up like that. I don't care what she went thru before the consult but that is not how you treat other people especially when they are paying for your service.

Di man lang nga ako nakatanong sa kanya thoroughly about her diagnosis cause when i asked her what will happen to my baby and what we should do next, she gave me a stink face as if i was asking stupid questions.

Sa mga babae dyan, anong feeling ng may kapatid na lalaki at sino ang mas close nyo, kuya or totoy?

Ako macaroni salad. How about you?

Saw a post sa isang sub abt guy with gbff or mama's boy. Personally ayaw ko both. How abt you?

Sa mga cheaters dyan, sa tingin nyo magbabago pa ba kayo? Genderless question to so kahit ano kayo, welcome kayong sumagot basta cheater kayo or dati na kayong nagcheat. Lol

I'd like to hear from the men's POV (bi guys where you at?) but also women who had experiences with dating both are welcome to unpack. Thanks.

Bakit nga ba?

Hi mga dok. I don't know if i can post this here, sana payagan ng mods as i am not a doctor but was a patient of my hero doctors (and nurses) who may or may not be a member of this sub. I want to give all of them a hug but i don't know if it will be cringy.

My obgyns, one was my obgyn from day 1 to week 30 who texted me the night before my emergency CS na "lakasan mo loob mo, wag kang matakot. kaya mo yan." and the other, a high-risk obgyn, i first met sa ER, she was referred by the former, she told me before the surgery na "alam mo di ako nakatulog dahil sayo. Alam ko may plan kayo ng ob mo na paabutin ng 36 weeks kaso ayaw kong mapahamak isa sa inyo ng baby mo. CS na kita this morning ah." . Pumunta sya ng 6 am sa high risk ward to tell me this. 6 am in the morning and halata sa eyes nya na di sya nakatulog.

My baby's neonatal specialist who was always giving me updates abt my baby's status sa NICU because i was still recovering and can't go there daily.

The anesthesiologist who told me "wag kang matakot mommy, akong bahala sayo" and made me count to 20 (i only got to 3 ,lol) nung nasa OR na ako and i never saw the guy again. This one, di ko alam kung san hahagilapin. Do they have clinics? Lol.

The cardiologist who gave me nicardipine to calm my unstable bp post op and told me "pagkadischarge sayo, punta ka kaagad sa clinic ko ha. lakasan mo loob mo.". My systolic got to 240. This guy got my bp to normal range.

The last two doctors are men. I don't know if it will be appropriate if i hug them and send them baked goodies. How will they take it? The post is really for them. Btw, i plan to make it a yearly tradition to send all of them baked goodies during my baby's birthday.

My two obgyns, i already hugged them and told them i will never forget how they saved my life. I love all of them so much even though we met at an unfortunate circumstance. Gusto ko silang lahat yakapin ng sabay-sabay, lol.

So what do you think mga dok, cringe ba or ok lang?

Raised a christian all my life but now i realized that all i believed in were cult-ish fiction. I identify now as atheist. I still go by doing to others how i want to be treated. Am i a bad person now like my mom thinks i am for thinking this way?

I had a c section 3 weeks and 3 days ago. My lochia stopped about 2 weeks pp. Tapos ngayon i have bleeding that feels like my period, may kasama clots and yung flow is like period and even the smell is like period. I am not sure what it is. Has anyone ever experienced this? Help mga mommies. Thanks.

Or do they actually practice what they "preach" to their patients?

For people who have a TOTGA, are you in a new relationship now and do you think its fair to your new partner that you are keeping a space in your heart or mind for an ex you consider the one that got away?
