Clerks are made to do the jobs of medtechs & nurses, PGIs halos the same depending on the institution you train in. I think we should shift away from looking at clerks & interns as labor augmentation and more like having an actual sense of responsibility in training future MDs, lalo na at PLE lang naman talaga ang stopping point ng license

I've been through clerkship & internship, and I think I learn more when I sit in a room and read my books & guidelines. Granted mas "sticky" yung learnings pag nakita ko yung case. Pero swerte nalang kung malaman yung mga conferences ng department. Most of the time, trabaho namin e mga bagay na di naman talaga dapat job description ng GPs or residents, literal taga encode, print, extract, linya, pakuha ng gamit, food deliveries ng residente, etc.

MDs should be the experts of diagnostics (Hx/Pe) & management. But I barely see hospitals involving clerks & interns on these processes at all.

Mostly, vitals at brief history lang tas pasa sa residente. Mag-aantay ka lang ng orders kung anong rx at labs isusulat. Minsan may pa revalida pero yun na yon. Sa ward naman di mo nasusundan yung pasyente, nag-aantay lang ng orders.

I wish PRC, CHED, & APMC gave more emphasis on training future doctors for the actual job of MDs, di yung panapal lang sa staff shortage ng ospital.

have you noticed the sudden surge in the number of medical school? even AMA computer college now have college of medicine! Are they trying to make us into the next nurses? so that there will be plenty of us that they can exploit and who settle for lower pay? It needs to be regulated!

Hello doctors. Can someone explain to me, what "Certified True Copy" for TORs, Diploma etc actually imply? Kailangan ko ba ulit kumuha sa medschool registrars ko ng copy for each para sa residency application purposes? Kasi magkano rin po yun, baka thousands na × ilang hospitals ang aapply'an pag di pinalad sa isa? Paano po ba yun? Hindi ba yun pwede as simple photocopy then ipacertify to a lawyer or?? Pls help po. Thank you in advance.

I just went to a medical examination of a suicide attempt. Noticed an IV drip on him, meaning we asked next of kin what happened, turns out the patient had a heart beat upon reaching another hospital. A nurse did the investigating since my native language is English, found out that they "prioritized" other patients.

From what even other of my medical colleagues could conclude, a simple intubation would have worked and at best, the patient would've rendered into a coma.

This is just the recent of another case of neglect and basically abandonment of a patient.

Honestly, are oaths just there for presentation or have we as humanity actually developed them from philosophical, economical and political backgrounds?

Quite a lot happens even in the top hospitals of the Philippines. Yet I'm hearing of doctors being very superior to others when working there lol. My wife's also a doctor and her uncle's been to Manila many times only to find doctors who have no idea what they're doing.

Good day doctors! Alam nyo po ba kung saan pwede ireport ang facility na di nagbibigay ng philhealth shares sa mga staff? Tried reaching out to philhealth and 8888, pero puro acknowledgement lang ng complaints. Walang ginagawang action.

Ilang months na nakalipas mula nang mareceive ng facility namin ang philhealth shares pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin kaming natatanggap.
