When treating patients with Tuberculosis I refrain from using the term "weak lungs" and "vitamins for the lungs" as euphemism for their disease and treatment, respectively.

It's quite difficult to manage patient who has "googled" everything from symptoms to differential diagnosis to treatment options before seeking consultation.

After a long lenten break i'm expecting a long queue of patients as well tomorrow. Perhaps some punctured wounds from sea urchins, scratches and contusions from miscalculated dives and of course malingering clients asking for med certs to justify their absences. Happy Easter !!!

Another pet peeve. Patients when asked what meds they took prior to consult often forgot the name (whether generic or brand) and merely described them as something white and round. 🤔

Pet peeve: Patients who would ask you to prescribe meds instead of telling you their symptoms 🙄

Not too many patients seen since the start of Holy Week. Can't they make it Holy Month instead. 😇

if there is a drugstore that dispenses common sense i’ll prescribe one

Got a flu this time but never tried those meds i prescribe to my patients :)

The most stubborn patient is a doctor.

A lot of patients still think that aspirin is for hypertension.. . a very common misconception.

Amoxicillin is probably the most abused and improperly used medications. I pity those patients who self-medicate.

RH Bill is more than just contraceptives. Read it entirely.Surely it will benefit a lot of Filipinos.

A patient just gave birth to an hermaphrodite! Poor boy (or girl) The very first I've seen in my entire medical career.

Matters beyond comprehension by medical science are always viewed as paranormal, enchanted, magical. It's not. We just need further research

It's monday. patients' queue is kinda long. another toxic day.

it's a beginning of a new day but the previous day hasn't ended for me. Been waiting since midnight in the DR for my patient to give birth.
