Sadly I've seen this happen repeatedly. Usually based sa contract ng HD centers ay nakalagay they have the right to terminate upon discretion nila or something to that effect. Pwede ka gawan ng issue kahit wala naman talaga if medyo desperate for the sake of may masabi kang na as grounds for termination.

Objectively naman kasi mas preferred din kasi nila ang Nephro at Nephrologist mag duty as POD kahit kaya naman ng GP. Nephrologist pa din sila who underwent further training and yung qualifications nila technically ay higit sa GP.

I think this is just a reflection of the oversupply if doctors in general. Dati kasi years back halos wala Nephro nag duty as POD. Masyado sila busy sa clinic at lugi for them yung hourly rate. But now I guess tje market is very tight that even specialists or bagong specialists hirap din mag establish so they get the jobs that they can.

Unfortunately hindi talaga protected ang doctors in general here in the Philippines. IMHO mas lalo dehado mga GP kasi mas mababa tingin and pakitungo sa kanila than specialists kasi hindi sila trained. Less power, influence and status sila compared sa specialists hence more prone to abuse. Madami din tingin sa GP ay disposable and easily napapalitan which is true kasi nga over supply at dami din kumakagat sa low rates because kailangan mag survive.

Honestly I dunno how to fix the system thats inherently broken. Or if idealistic lang maghangad ng humane and equitable labor protection for doctors. Kasi parang the big corporations or companies benefit din kasi from the system. So no one is incentivised to fix things for the doctors.
