Ang masasabi ko lang sa maraming bagay na nagpapagulo ng kalooban ko lately. We will never lose our way, if we anchor ourselves firmly on our WHY.

Practice Medicine AS IF PEOPLE MATTER. Practice (Public) Health AS IF PEOPLE MATTER. Practice Development AS IF PEOPLE MATTER.

Gen Z humor is different 💀

*Shows students how to elicit the Pupillary Light Reflex*

Me: *shines light on student’s eye* okay so we see pupillary constriction. What do we call that?
Students: MIOSIS
Me: Okay good what’s the opposite of that?
Them: MITOSIS

😭😭😭😭😭😭

So my fellow doctors (and students aka soon to be doctors), even though we are swamped with duties, exams and training, keep in mind that striving to be a proficient educator will aid us in becoming more competent, compassionate, understanding and holistic physicians 😊(4/4)

[Underrated skill]
After passing the boards, I decided to go into the academe and become a professor (for undergrad and medschool) before going into residency, and I think one skill that is underrated as doctors (that we have to STRIVE to develop) is the skill of TEACHING (1/4)

[Ralph, M.D. @RalphRebelloMD]

3. Help clerks, interns and junior doctors improve, not only as students of medicine but as doctors as well
4. Make it easier to integrate different interdisciplinary concepts which can help us improve our clinical calls and judgement (3/4)

Focus on the short term goals and mini victories. They all add up to a much bigger victory when everything is said and done ☺️

“The pain of discipline is nothing like the pain of disappointment.”

One year ago today I began the deepest prep of the March PLE. The volume of readings, the numerous lecture vids, the # of practice tests can all be overwhelming but it’s important to take it one day at a time

The case of Dr. Agbayani will have many repercussions to the medical community:

✅ Doctors will now be cautious in choosing their patients. Remember that they have the right to choose their patients unless during life-threatening circumstances. (1/n)

Told my dad about this and he said, “Work with emotion, but don’t get emotional. Emotions can sometimes cloud your better judgment. There will be days like this but there will also be many more days where you will help, heal and save many, many, many more people.” (9/9)

PGI-ship. May 2022. Had an elderly stroke px admitted on a Monday morning and was for q2 BP monits. Saw her around ~8x during my shift. I met her daughter and listened to her stories of her kids in the states, how much she missed them and how she wanted to see them again. (1/9)

Trigger warning: death

Seeing death in the eye is usually a traumatic experience. But HCWs are expected to face mortalities head on, cope, and care for the next patient as if nothing happened. We'll unpack this experience in this episode! 🕊️

How could someone who was showing signs of improvement deteriorate so fast despite being under careful and appropriate monitoring? How will her kids and grandchildren in the States visit their Lola again? Why couldn’t I find anything in my PE? Did she know ‘it’ was coming? (8/9)
