We had a "joy ride" in the village last week. A joy ride atleast once a week is one of our little family bonding moments.

While driving, i have to make a sudden full stop. Why? because two dogs are doing a LIVE SHOW "making love" in the middle of the street! Animals in heat sa init ng araw! With the undulating action, who am i to interrupt such act of procreation?

My smart kids, with a questionable look at their faces had their attention with the intimate dogs in front of us. "ay, daddy, look at the dogs, nag hohorsie horsie!"

stunned. a sudden silence from me and marie. i honked and interrupted their "horsie horsie", sorry guys. beep, beep! (i wonder how they felt? coitus interruptus! *wink)

I AM (LEGEND) doctor

i am a member of pinoymd yahoogroups, and there has been a long email thread recently about the plight of doctors (salary, status, hirap ng buhay). I dont know if i met Carl during residency, but i sure can relate to him on the realities of training in that big hospital sa Taft Ave. Here's my response to his post.

and btw, this is not a will-smith-wannabe-post :-)

Dear Carl,

Wow, i wasnt able to read this the first time. It is a sad reality that not all of us are "Anak ng Diyos", people have the general notion that all Doctors are on the top tier of the society (financial-wise). And even if you want to tell them that we're no different from all the fresh graduates of the University, it's just hard to change such an established notion.

The truth is, having a diploma, additional two letters at the end of our name (and probably a few more post residency) a white coat and a stet hanging on our shoulders are not 100% ticket to success. We still have to work our way up and climb the long ladder to success.

The harsh reality of our economy not only affects the tambays in the kanto, the millions of mang pandoy and the countless indays. Doctors are not immune to experience the difficulties of establishing a practice.

On a positive note, we studied so many years to attain doctorhood. We met so many people along the way. All the prelims, midterms, removals, practicals, decuries and board exam made us logical people. So i'm sure all of us can pass this chapter of struggle in our career. In the end, its the benefit we contribute to the society that makes a mark to the lives of people we have touched and healed. One patient at a time.

Carl, hope you're all good in the new path you have chosen. Doctors are survivors. And to all of us, keep evolving, tandaan mo, hindi ka nag-iisa. Kudos Carl for this great contribution.
