A Trip to the Philippine General Hospital

In search for quality and affordable health care, my parents and I had to wake up really early in the morning and take our chance at the Philippine General Hospital. Initially I was not convinced that we had to be there at such an ungodly hour. Imagine my surprise when we learned that the queue had already gone almost half the perimeter of the hospital by a quarter past 5 in the morning. Yes, I am ignorant of the state of the hospital and this is my first time, first hand experience.

And that's when it hit me. Prior to my PGH visit, I have been going to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center for consultations to the ENT, Gastro, for ultrasound, and other lab tests. It was a privilege that I could avail of the service because of my health card. If not for that, I won't be able to afford their expensive service (e.g., 3K+ for ultrasound). However, the hospital is a place full of comfort and you would be given first class treatment. Facilities are of advanced technology and the ambience could provide instant wellness. You are given personalized and prompt service, and special care and attention by doctors and all staff members. While waiting, you could sit comfortably and watch a movie from a cable TV, or you could just hang around the lounge area and listen to the piano playing. Despite all these, I still had to go to PGH which is somewhat lacking in the comfort and convenience that other hospitals could offer. Why? Admittedly and bias aside, I believe that most of the doctors in PGH are of high quality and are well-trained in their fields of specialization. Although I could say that there are doctors in AHMC that have also topped the high standards, I guess, nothing could beat the training and practice that PGH doctors have undergone.


However, it is undeniable that there is a shortage of good doctors here in the Philippines because a fraction of them may have gone abroad or studied nursing instead (oh please no) to seek greener pastures in other countries. What I admire about the PGH medical staff is that despite the low wage and stressful work environment, they still offer their service to the masses who could barely afford and yet needed the most immediate concern.

I have observed that those who have had to endure the long lines to consult for their medical condition are from class c to class e. Although it is not obvious who among them ave serious illnesses, I could say tat tey definitely need affordable and immediate medical care. In about 30 minutes, the number of queing people ad doubled, and as I am typing this entry in my cellphone by 7AM, we were in an endless line even inside the hospital (UP indeed is University of Pila). In the line, I have overheard rantings from a middle-aged lady about how hard life is for them, having to go all the way from Laguna to seek help from the hospital. She is quite concerned what they would do if the patient's condition requires confinement, they do not have relatives or a place to stay in Manila and it would cost them a lot (to rent a place to stay or travel from Laguna to Manila everyday). This is just one of the unfortunate stories that all the patients have to tell. Some might even have worse cases. However, this made me think about the people who do not have the access to a free consultation or even an emergency treatment. How would those living in far flung provinces be able to reach PGH in time before their condition worsen? Where will the poorest of the poor get the money to spend for their travel and medication expenses? How would those needing operation gain access to the technology needed for treatment?

It seems that health care in the Philippines is more of a privilege given that not all have the capability to have access and avail of the free or low-cost yet quality service provided by PGH. However, ideally, this should not be the case. Health care should be an equal right to every Filipino citizen. The sad reality is that there is not enough fund (or supposedly allocated fund is corrupted) to establish and maintain quality health care centers in remote areas where this is badly needed.

This is the reality that we know of being in a third world country. This is inequality in action.

But this should not end here. This should stop now.

Holy Cow!

Who: me and ex/future-roommate, M
When: January 16, 2009
Where: Holy Cow Steak Ranch and American Grill, Robinson's Place Manila Midtown Wing

It was a quick lunch and we wanted to try something new so we took the risk of trying out this relatively new restaurant. I noticed that there were a lot of customers in that place (in comparison with the other restaurants in Midtown) so there must be something about it which draws attention to those who just want to eat lunch.

While I was passing by their location, a waitress handed me a flyer with their set meals and I realized it must be the relatively low price of these meals that attracted customers. An American steak house must be really intimidating for some, but with their set meals priced PhP145-170, it's not at all bad.

We tried their Fish Fillet in Beer Batter and Parmesan Chicken meals, with sidings of buttered veggies and a serving of Java rice, with free 12 oz. drinks. The meals are really filling because the serving of rice is big.

Our favorite of the two is the fish fillet because of its really soft texture and flavorful white sauce (but I forgot what the sauce is!). The crust is also well-done, not like others which is a bit too hard.

The parmesan chicken is also good but it tasted plain and simple.

However, we give plus points for presentation because both plates looked good. :)

The ambience is a good imitation of the Western bars and restos although the place is somewhat cramped up. They had a small space. However, what was not very good about it is that their cowboy waiters were lounging in front of the kitchen counter practically watching customers. I do not know where they should be but they are somewhat distracting for me.

Their service is not that good also because we were mis-billed. However, what I liked about it is that the cowboys are very polite and respectful. :)

But definitely, this is a must-try! :)

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars

At peace.

Have you ever felt so serene and at peace? The kind that you could not describe in words but you could feel through your soul and you could imagine what it looks like.

For quite some time, I am experiencing that peacefulness. I do not know if it's a part of my self-improvement regimen or if it's a product of just being able to do the things that I am passionate with.

One of the things that I really love would be music. Recently, I have discovered the band, The Weepies. Its song, "Somebody Loved," is the background for the plugging of the TV show, Married Away at ETC. I fell in love with the song at an instant and so I downloaded it together with another one also from the same artist. Now they are on my repeat playlist for two days already and I still haven't grown tired of listening to it.

I am really attracted to music such as those but I could not seem to make up what that specific genre is called. They definitely sound like Colbie Caillat. So I tried researching and found that they both belong to the genre "pop-folk." I am not very familiar how genres evolve through time but I did not immediately think that they sound "folk" to me, maybe because most people really have a different schema or idea on folk music.

For me, this type of music really has that calming effect, probably because it sounds so pure and laid back. It's the kind of music I arrange on my playlist (together with Sarah Bareilles, Corinne Bailey Rae, etc.) and listen to while relaxing (or sleeping) on my bed, with lights shut off, after a really hard day at school.

That is one thing I specifically miss about staying on a boarding house, sort of on your own (when the roommate has not yet still arrived). I could not keep my PC with me in my room and leave it on while I am sleeping. And also, there are so much things going on here at home with the kids and my parents constantly making commotion.

But surprisingly, I still manage to sneak in some serene and peaceful moments that would make me generally in a good mood throughout the day. And it's one of the things I am grateful for: that I am definitely starting my year right. I hope I would be able to maintain this for the rest of the year.

Is Hotness an Inherited Trait?

Sexiness is hereditary in the insect world — and maybe ours, too

By Charles Q. Choi
updated 2:00 p.m. ET Dec. 7, 2007

Like father, like son — sexy fathers can give rise to sexy sons in the insect world.

Researchers suggest these findings might also apply to humans.

Males often give showy displays to attract females in the animal kingdom—from cricket songs to peacock plumes. Scientists had long assumed that attractive males can father attractive sons, but hard evidence supporting this idea is actually scant.

To see if attractiveness can be hereditary, researchers in England focused on the fruit fly Drosophila simulans. Males of the species cannot force sex, meaning any mating that happens is because of male charisma.

First, the scientists paired male and female flies at random. They found the length of time it took for them to have sex ranged from two minutes to two hours. The speed at which mating occurred suggests how attractive the males were.

After each male mated with roughly three females, their sons were paired with single females, and the amount of time it took them to score was noted. The investigators found that attractive males indeed sired attractive sons.

"Attractiveness probably can't be defined by individual characteristics, so there is no single physical attribute that female fruit flies are looking for in a mate," said researcher David Hosken, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Exeter in England. "However, there is clearly a benefit to females in having sexy sons that are more likely to attract a mate and produce offspring."

It is possible that attractiveness is hereditable across the animal kingdom, Hosken said.
"It could even be the case in humans that the sexiest dads also have the most desirable sons, which would probably be bad news for my boy," he quipped.

Still, attractiveness may not always prove hereditary in insects and other animals.
"In the closely related standard lab fly, Drosophila melanogaster, there is no sons effect," Hosken told LiveScience. "Extrapolating from one species to another closely related species should be done with caution. Knowing lots about one species may tell you little about another."
Hosken with Michelle Taylor and Nina Wedell detailed their work in the Nov. 20 issue of the journal Current Biology.

Turning Homosexuality On and Off
By John Tierney

http://tierneylab. blogs.nytimes. com/2007/ 12/11/turning- homosexuality- on-and-off/ index.html? hp

What if you could take a drug that would quickly alter your sexual orientation from straight to gay, or vice versa?

To their surprise, neurobiologists have discovered that homosexuality can be turned on or off in fruit flies. They'd known that sexual orientation can be genetically programmed, but they didn't realize it could also be altered by giving a drug that changes the way the flies' sensory circuits react to pheromones.

Within hours of the treatment, previously heterosexual male fruit flies would be courting other males, and treatment could also cause flies who had been engaging in homosexual behavior to become exclusively heterosexual, the neurobiologists report in Nature Neuroscience. You can read a summary of it here from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the home of one of the researchers, David Featherstone.

It was amazing," Dr. Featherstone said. "I never thought we'd be able to do that sort of thing, because sexual orientation is supposed to be hard-wired. This fundamentally changes how we think about this behavior."

I asked Dr. Featherstone if it might be possible one day to quickly alter humans' sexual orientation. Here's his answer:

Although I am not sure my research is a big step in this direction, I think that ultimately the answer will be: Yes. After all, the goal of neuroscience is a complete understanding of brain function. Understanding in science is typically demonstrated by the ability to control a process.

On sleep-related obesity...

http://dsc.discover%20y.com/news/%202008/05/07/%20sleep-obesity-%20health.html

Too Much, Too Little Sleep Leads to Big BellyMike Stobbe--

People who sleep fewer than six hours a night -- or more than nine -- are more likely to be obese, according to a new government study that is one of the largest to show a link between irregular sleep and big bellies.

The study also linked light sleepers to higher smoking rates, less physical activity and more alcohol use.

The research adds weight to a stream of studies that have found obesity and other health problems in those who don't get proper shuteye, said Dr. Ron Kramer, a Colorado physician and a spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

"The data is all coming together that short sleepers and long sleepers don't do so well," Kramer said.

The study released Wednesday is based on door-to-door surveys of 87,000 U.S. adults from 2004 through 2006 conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Such surveys can't prove cause-effect relationships, so -- for example -- it's not clear if smoking causes sleeplessness or if sleeplessness prompts smoking, said Charlotte Schoenborn, the study's lead author.© 2008 Discovery Communications, LLC

I found this article on my NeuroPsych egroup e-mail. Yes! I add myself up and subscribed to their newsletter. Haha. So guys, check your sleeping patterns! I know we have developed bad/weird sleeping habits because of years/months of sleepless nights. But, sad to tell, this might lead to negative consequences, not only obesity but smoking and drinking problems. So, get enough sleep! Don't deplete yourselves of sleep and don't overindulge as well. :)) Have a wonderful vacation friends! :)

Currently, I'm bored in the office. I want to go out already and go shopping. Huhu.

Medical Misbehaviors (The Case of the Fetus in Fetu and the Bottled Anus)

About a month ago, I was listening to Magic's morning show while I'm in the bus going to QC, when I heard Grace Lee talk about this medical condition called Fetus in Fetu. She described it as a fetus that is literally inside another living fetus. I was rather interested in knowing more about this because this is definitely a rare case. Hence, I searched it in the internet. And, I stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetus_in_fetu

In the article, it was said that it is an abnormality wherein one of the fetuses inside the mother’s womb envelops the other one while developing. As a consequence, the host fetus is the only child to survive. However, the fetus in fetu only has its component tissues developed; it does not grow into a full-blown baby. Rather, certain bodily organs and body parts are the only ones to mature, which could all be found inside the other twin’s body. The fetus in fetu becomes a parasite to its own twin, depending on it for life support.

An example given by Grace Lee was that there was one person who had this living organism inside him for about 40 years. And when he was operated, there are limbs, hair, and other organs floating inside the man’s stomach. This was probably the Indian who was mentioned in the same Wikipedia article. There are other cases cited in the article, one even had the fetus in fetu’s approximation of a face seen.

It is rather rare with a chance of 1 out of 500,000 live births. But there is already a total of 88 recorded cases of this condition, the 88^th being a Filipino. It was a year ago when this child was born. The parents said that the child frequently vomits and experiences abdominal pains and when they have him checked in the hospital, they found that there is another living organism inside him. He underwent surgery and the doctors and physicians found a baby girl fetus inside the boy’s stomach, complete with hair, ears, hands, feet, and vital organs. They also reported that the fetus in fetu still had heartbeat when she was brought out. However, the baby girl fetus did not survive long after.

The parents said that the baby boy or the host twin was strong despite the surgery. However, they accused the doctors and nurses of killing this baby. According to roommates, while the parents were sleeping with the baby in the hospital, a nurse injected something to the baby, and the baby died. The worst part is that the baby girl fetus was not released and given to the parents; instead, its body parts were separated and being studied in the laboratory. The whole story is found in this webpage:

http://sundaypunch.prepys.com/archives/2007/07/30/business-log-79/

It was unfair and unjust for the parents to have both babies killed, if the allegations prove to be true. The babies are still living human beings, they are not specimens that could be dissected and analyzed in the laboratory for the sake of science. It is inhumane for them to do that. I do not know if they have this permission to do that but I don’t think it is ethical.

This brings me to the issue regarding the doctors (or interns?) who recorded a video of their operation with the man who had a bottle stuck in his anus. It seems like they were having such fun with what they are doing, making fun of the person. And the most aggravating part with it is their uploading of the video in Youtube. Are they even aware of the word “confidentiality”? Obviously not. And they were really motivated in insulting this man and were even proud of their misbehavior. Not that I’m defending the guy, but again, we’re talking about ethics here. I’m just not proud of them. Hay.

Now, their case was filed and being investigated but it was said that they won’t be fired and they won’t be suspended in the hospital where they are working. Personally, I think, suspension is just right for them so that they will learn their lessons. Apparently, they haven’t learned much from med school. Tsk.

Just my two cents’ worth. :)

For the geeks, here’s the link for a more scientifically backed-up article on Fetus in Fetu: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/105/6/1335

Look! Look-alikes! Haha!

I'm on fan-girl mode lately. I was not a couch-potato before and I'm not so fond of watching any TV show. But come finals week, I got so hooked with two foreign TV shows: Gossip Girl and American Idol. Haha! To the point of me, downloading episodes via torrent from the internet. Like how addicted I was with Grey's Anatomy, but this time, I think I'm more addicted with Gossip Girl, I even want to read all books where the series was based on.

But back to my point... See picture to the right. Look! They are look-alikes! Chace Crawford (Nate in Gossip Girl) and David Cook (American Idol) are look-alikes! Hahaha! I just stumbled upon this photo in my search of Gossip Girl related posts. Lol. Although Chace Crawford really appears cleaner in the series than what is seen in that photo, but they do look similiar, don't they? Haha!

Brings me to this... I so love David Cook's rendition of Always Be My Baby! Paula Abdul was right in saying that it could be a movie OST. It's arrangement is so neat and awesome! At first I thought, it would be sang just as how Mariah sang it originally, but only in a male perspective and with a husky Cook voice, because that was how he started the song. But by the middle of it, the violins played, the band played crescendo and with such strong impact... and the back-up singers sang as Cook adlibs. Cook is a very great artist, he knows his craft very much. He does not just sing the song, instead, he makes it his own. Almost all his performances are originally-done. Although I have just noticed how good he is just now, considering that the program has already run for quite a long time already. I'm not a fan of rock and he converts most of his performances into that genre. But I am really fascinated with what he did with a Mariah Carey song. He's just so great! Two thumbs up for David Cook! :)
