I will miss #MedTwitter, but that's it.

Added this to my home network blocked services (via adguardhome).

Will do some more measures soon.

Last ERCP of the year. We don't see a lot of chronic pancreatitis this side of the world, so it's interesting to have back to back PD stone cases -- one in the elderly and one in a teen.

Grabe! They restored AKAP ( ayuda) and totally defunded philhealth, as in zero budget!

It's very obvious that they are interested in the PhilHealth funds.

In retrospect, I think this all started when they found out in a hearing that PhilHealth had unused funds dues to inefficiency then they diverted 90 billion to unprogrammed appropriations

The legislators show their utter ignorance. For one thing, defunding PhilHealth is destroying universal health care. For another thing, contrary to their perception that PhilHealth has excess funds, PhilHealth currently faces huge insurance contract liabilities which far exceed current reserves. This spells financial disaster, which can lead to a fiscal crisis and even a political crisis.

It means there will be no funding for indirect contributors ( senior citizens, indigents and PWDs ) and the direct contributors will carry the brunt of funding philhealth.

Their priority is reducing health to patronage rather than allowing people to avail of healthcare with dignity as is our right.

NGL, this was well written. Kung sanay lang magtagalog si BBM this would have been even better.

I gasped when he said "di dapat i-tokhang ang katotohanan" it's something a tibak would say. I love it so much. Hahahaha.

🟡 Yellow -- 7.5 to <15 mm
🟠 Orange -- 15 to <30 mm
🔴 Red -- >30 mm

1 mm of rain roughly translates to 1L of water per sqm of land area.

Important to note that Storm Warning Signals pertain to wind strength, and NOT rainfall. For rainfall, we look at red, orange and yellow warning levels.
