The 4th Blog Rounds of Filipino MD's : The Doctor as a Patient, a personal journey in the world of the sick.

This is it! Ni-abot na jud ang baby ni BoneDoc!

Pinoy Doctor Bloggers, welcome to my little payag! Pasensya na walang breakfast o snacks man lang, wala daw budget yung med rep natin. BBYOB lang tayo muna (bitbit your own baon!)

Mukhang wala nang panic attack ang lola nyo kasi ang happy niya na ang daming nagpadala ng entries para sa rounds na ito. Halos sanlibong website ang binisita nya para lang mag-plug o kaya'y nag-maka-awa na sumali na intawn sa 4th TBR, baka kasi lalangawin, nakaka-hiya naman kina doc remo, doc clairebear at my tokayo, doc termulo. Buti naman at may na-awa sa lola nyo.

Walang exempted sa sakit! Heto na ang ating mga kaibigang pinoy MD's mula sa kanilang mga sari-saring kaharian at pinaunlakan tayo sa kanilang mga personal na paglakbay sa mundo ng may-sakit.

Ang kaibigan natin na may pinaka-malakas na bulong sa buong sanlibutan ay nagkulong sa Room 717, ano kayang ginagawa nya doon? May naka-pagsabi sa akin, pang- morning endorsement talaga daw ang kaso. Dami daw bumisita na mga taga-showbiz sa kanya. Bumisita kaya si Papa Piolo? Maki-balita nga kaya ako sa kanya.

Si Kumareng MerryCherry ay kasama na ngayon nila Boy Abunda at Christy Fermin sa (sabay tayo) THE Buzz! . At alamin natin kung bakit bugbug sarado yung telepono niya sa ka katatawag sa mga ORL's.

Ang ating pabolusong pinoy doctor na nandoon ngayon sa bansa nila Nicole Kidman at Heath Ledger ay may payo sa atin. Pareho pala kaming takot sa karayom. Ang hirap pala yung dinaanan nya nong pediatric resident pa siya dito sa Pinas. Basahin nyo yung ICU experience niya.

Mula sa karagatan ng Visayan Sea, ang bagong dating sa lupain ng mga Haciendero na si dr shark ay may buong tiwala sa kanyang attending pag-nagkasakit siya. Mas maalagaan ka daw ng ibang doctor kung hindi mo ito ini-inis ng mga kilometrong tanong. Basahin natin kung bakit sa tingin ko siya ang perfect na model sa ating paksang, the doctor as a patient.

At si , dr. gigi ay may kaibigan na nagsabi na "a barber should not cut his own hair", just imagine him doing it, he might end up like Mr T. I share with dr. gigi, that please don't remind us of our own mortality. Life is so good if you're still alive!

While all of us were feeling the apprehensions and fear, our anesthesia lady, had tears that says "I felt so cared for and that was why I was crying.". To think that she was still having cases hours before her OR schedule. Amazing woman!

Truly the essence of a woman, is when she gives her power of life to her child. Let's hold dr. joey's hand as she relive the day that she unleashed this power.

BoneMd as the recipient of her mother's power of life was placed in an emotional roller coaster and had to endure the biggest task as the doctor of the family. His post had me dyspneic! A son's love to a mother is the greatest love of all. Press here para madami na tayong mag-dyspnea.

Our Pinay Megamom is telling us that we, doctors are indeed terrible patients, short of asking us to live what we are preaching to our patients (her dad is a good convert). And not be like the endocrine specialist who met a fate that is not uncommon with the rate we're going. This post had me dyspneic too.

"We cannot give what we don't have". Dr. Noel's essay on famous doctors who became patients themselves and had the opportunity to put all their experiences in writing sums this up nicely. And i didn't know that John Keats was a physician, i thought he was a romantic poet only! Discover more, here.

The huggable dr. clairebear is now a text book! Joke-joke-joke! She's just undergoing a text book case of a disease and its making her the worst patient ever!

Dr. Emer is craving for his favorite pancit, but i doubt it if he will still be thinking of his beloved noodle after it had wrought havoc on his digestive system. But once a pancit lover will always be a pancit lover, palabok included!

As an ender to this rounds, let us ponder on what dr. martin wrote on his entry, "Our illness is our inability to fully appreciate the exceptional blessing bestowed to us of being able to leave this world a better place."

Taymsa! Pahabol! the heatwave is in the building! yahoo was going gaga last night, i was not able to open my email. now lo and behold, there was simmering presence in the inbox from the man himself, doc harry. Get carried away with his rant !


Paumanhin po sa Tagalog ko, hindi naman halata na medyo baluktot, hehehe. Feel ko lang mag-Tagalog ngayon, kathang pormal sa high school pa yata ako last nakapag-sulat ng mahaba-habang saysay sa Tagalog. Pero, di ko kinaya. I'm so sorry for my poor attempt.

Thank you so much to all the participating Pinoy Md Bloggers!
Mabuhay tayong lahat (na walang sakit)!
