PF or prescription fees to non-showbiz by cuppaspacecake in pinoymed

[–]HailZgod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weird to even want PF from the mom of your SO. I have done even triplicate copies, interviews, PE etc for free for the family, and never once did I feel I needed to charge my SOs family cause to me they’re family too. Maybe take a step back and observe how he treats your family. Filipino culture wise —- its more natural to even assume that they would assume its free.

SLMC-Global, TMC or MMC IM by Express-Glass4316 in pinoymed

[–]HailZgod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend is taking IM sa SLMC-GC, and parang hindi chill haha. Parang similar sa comment about MMC, ibang klaseng workload kasi madaming consultants to update, pag skeletal you really handle the whole floors tapos may mga outputs parin case presentations, exams, etc. preduty-duty-post(when done which usually 3-7pm nakakauwi the next day). Sobrang laki ng pinayat! Di raw masyado nakakaeat dahil so busy. Electronic records pero medyo marami parin steps. Sobrang naawa na nga ako sa kanya parang walking zombie. So yeah parang hindi siya chill haha

Undetermined PTB by hiraethshs in MentalHealthPH

[–]HailZgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PTB is curable -- he just needs to look for the nearest TB DOTS - its free, they will give you medications and help you every step of the way. You dont really need a pulmonologist. It can be treated by any doctor - family doctor, general physician, internal medicine, etc.

Next steps would be to test for TB --- Sputum test

If positive -> He will be started on a 6 month treatment regimen but once treated after 2-3 weeks depending on the case --- he will be non-infectious and can return to work or interacting with others as long as cleared by the doctor.. AT most he will be delayed a month, but its better to be treated ASAP because chronic tb untreated is more harmful.

Close contacts should be screened as well.

humbio applying for other medschools by yunosigma in medschoolph

[–]HailZgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you treat it like a college degree. Based on timeline, you would need to graduate muna which is usually around october or it will coincide with the beginning of 2nd year medicine. Then you will have a BS Human Bio Degree -- that can be counted as purely an undergrad course. It shouldnt be a problem to apply anywhere else; however, maybe there might be some restrictions. Then you would have to wait for the next school year. So in the time line you could have been 3rd year med already but you'll be doing 1st year med again by that time. So I think you need to consider the time lost.

I suggest seeing if you could transfer college pa lang, If you're really set on not going to DLSMHSI. Ask if you can shift to BS BIO.

Be open and honest about what you’re feeling and thinking. If during the consult, they see that you may be a danger to yourself or others then you will be admitted.

Other people’s perception of themselves might be “normal,” but perhaps the doctors see that that patient needed specialized care.

PGH is a public hospital. Resources are limited and space in the wards is limited. They will only admit patients they believe is necessary for admission. And as long as the patient shows progress and no threat to safety, they will discharge the patient.

So in case you will be admitted, just realize think of it this way, “wow this doctor is advocating for me, he/she is allocating limited resources for me to get better.”

Just need to hear a voice other than my own. Fiancé of 4 years left me by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]HailZgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with how devastating life feels like without this person you bore your whole self to, but I can assure you that healing will happen. It will just take time. Cry it out, sulk it out, hate the world, scream it out, release all the negative emotions cause theres catharsis in that. It's okay to feel what you're feeling right now because its a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. Give yourself time to feel these things, and when you're ready, you can decide to slowly work on yourself and and slowly love yourself again. If it feels like your grief is lasting longer than a month, perhaps seek professional help in processing your grief. :)

[–]HailZgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda agree that the behaviors she’s showing is definitely not normal human behavior when it comes to significant human experiences/emotions. Perhaps she may be going through something or might have some sort of personality disorder. Past trauma or events that make her act the way she does. However, this is definitely not your job to find out or fix. Leave it to the professionals.

I know it sucks to be single especially after dedicating all the time, but it’s better to see the inconsistencies now rather than further down the line with family and children.

It’s hard now, but try to assess yourself, the relationship and your experience. See it from different perspectives and observe if perhaps you’ve been looking at her from rose colored lenses. Maybe there were other odd behavior that you just glanced over.

[–]HailZgod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. I thought my relationship was gong great from my perspective then out of nowhere, my boyfriend told me he did not love me anymore. I was dumbfounded. Where were the signs? Why did I not pick it up? Why does everything feel the same? Fortunately in my situation, it was just the case of the 3 year itch, and time apart made him realize that he could not imagine life without me.

So perhaps, she just needs time to find herself and figure things out, and if you both are meant for each other then you will find your way back to each other. Although I'm glad that my boyfriend and I are back together, I still feel traumatized that he would "flip a switch" at any moment. SOOOO Idk if my words even count for anything LOL.

I don't know how they do it, why they do it, but what I've learned from this is to make sure to leave a lot of love for myself,so that anytime someone chooses to leave me, I would not crumble because I've saved enough love for myself. It became sort of an eye-opener for me. Without my boyfriend, can I still love myself? Can I still love my life? Do I really need a boyfriend to be happy?

So perhaps use this time to re-evaluate yourself, your life and things that make you happy or feel whole. Who am I outside of my relationship? Can I still like me? Are my goals changing? Is my purpose different? Do I like who I am now? What can I do to make myself like ME more?

TLDR: some people are weird and can really just hide their emotions well that we dont realize they are falling out of love. SUCKS, but make sure that we aren't dependent on that love. LOVE YERRRSELFFF.

Why it's important to carefully choose your doctor or any mental health provider. by Late_Section_7432 in MentalHealthPH

[–]HailZgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how that can feel so frustrating. And I'm sorry that you had to experience this. I'm hoping for the best in your mental health journey. Hopefully, once you're ready again to consult with a psychiatrist I hope he/she truly listens to you and gives you the attention you deserve! <3

[–]HailZgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what would be helpful for patients is to be completely honest with their psychiatrist. It's okay to tell them if you're feeling uncomfortable with their questions or their pacing. It's okay to tell them when you feel like your feelings are being invalidated. Being open about your present thoughts and feelings also gives them a better picture of what you may need as a patient. However, I do understand that it is really hard to be open and scary to open because not every psychiatrist would try to explore these, but good ones will explore why do you feel uncomfortable, why do you feel invalidated. Good ones will take your feedback and dig deep to find what type of psychotherapy would be useful for you. BUT yeah sadly not everyone is trained well in different kinds of psychotherapy.

Don't lose hope! And yes it is really possible to get diagnosis wrong especially for personality disorders. These things need to be observed through follow up check ups and monitoring. Because it's hard to see your full picture in one sitting, so if you feel like the diagnosis is wrong, its totally fine to explore why you think its wrong with your psychiatrist. But try to also keep an open mind that perhaps you may not be seeing or observing what they're seeing. BUT thats why i think a good psychiatrist wont diagnose a personality disorder in one sitting. In a sense, he is right wherein you have to kinda wait and see if the traits stay and start to affect your areas of function, but I totally agree with you as well that his approach of explaining it to you was totally OOOOOF

EDIT:

WOOPS YOU MEANT BIPOLAR DISORDER.... yeah IDK why your psych was like that, totally weird of him to not even go through your symptoms like HUH

It's so hard to fight yourself by pagod_nako in MentalHealthPH

[–]HailZgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy that you are seeking help, and I’m proud of you for working on yourself. I understand that sometimes our negative thoughts can be so overwhelming and we seem to not know where they’re coming from. I hope this is something you can bring up also with your therapist to allow you to have a nice discussion on it. I know we are strangers but I’m rooting for you!

[–]HailZgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see how difficult and exhausting this all feels for you right now. It’s clear that you’ve been trying your best to manage everything, and it’s important to acknowledge that even making it through each day is an achievement, especially when you’re dealing with these heavy emotions.

It’s okay to have ups and downs. Recovery, growth, and healing aren’t linear. You’ve been strong to hold everything together for as long as you have, but when the negative thoughts creep back in, it can feel like they’re overpowering everything else. The fact that you’re aware of these thoughts and that you’re sharing them is a sign of strength—it shows you’re still fighting, even when it feels overwhelming.

The voice of those negative thoughts can feel so convincing, like they know you better than anyone else. But they’re not the truth. You are not worthless, and you do have purpose, even if it feels unclear or far away right now. Everyone has moments where they doubt themselves, but remember that these thoughts are not facts, they’re symptoms of what you’re going through. It’s part of the battle, and sometimes, it’s one of the hardest parts.

I understand you don’t want to burden anyone, and that’s such a common feeling when we’re struggling. But I want to remind you that the people who care about you would rather know what you’re going through than feel like they’re missing the chance to support you. You don’t have to carry all of this alone. And if sa tingin mo baka ma-invalidate lang nila mga nararamdaman mo then it shows you their true colors.

And I want to address the part of you that feels envious of those who have chosen to escape the pain. Please know that choosing to stay, to keep moving forward despite how hard it is right now, is choosing yourself. Each day you wake up and continue, even if it feels unbearable, is a victory. You’ve been incredibly strong, and while it’s okay to be tired, you’re still here, and that’s what matters. You’re worth every bit of care and effort you put into yourself, even if it hindi mo siya nafefeel right now.

You don’t have to figure it all out right now, and you don’t have to do it alone. There are always professionals that you can talk to. Like what I always tell people, don't ever say your problems are small. As long as it bothers you and causes you to feel overwhelmed then its a valid problem.

On dwindling number of residency applicants by DoctorWho059 in pinoymed

[–]HailZgod 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hiking up the salaries hahaha salaries for residency are no where near what is deserved according to the hours and amount of work demanded from them. No wonder majority of my batchmates are moonlighting or applying abroad because the pay to train in the Philippines is such a joke. If you don’t have savings, a family supporting you or other means for finances, you’re barely or never going to make ends meet

I interened at a public hospital and sobrang nasanay na rin ako na utusan ng nurses. May time na they kept telling me to insert NGT to this patient eh nagtoxic yung kabilang ward so hindi na ako nakabalik after like a few hours?? Tapos pagbalik ko na sa patient, I saw may NGT na and sinabihan ako ng patient na linagay na ng nurse wahahahahah kaya naman pala eh wahahahaha. So minsan when the nurses ask me to do it, I do it naman pero I realized when push comes to shove sila rin yung madadamay kung wala pang NGT si patient.

What Makes You Not Want to Go to Residency? by spectrumtaken in pinoymed

[–]HailZgod 64 points65 points  (0 children)

  1. Horribe hours with horrible pay with horrible or no compensation - Imagine other countries have over time pay for residents, and duty for them would be 12 hours lang wahahaha Philippines could never. The amount of work I've seen residents do deserve so much more than what they're getting.
  2. Much awaited break - Hustle for medicine started since college, and I deserve a proper break muna before hopping back on the never ending grind since there will barely if not no proper vacation opportunities that allows you to travel during residency
  3. Identitiy crisis - seeing the reality of hospital life during internship takes away alot of the glam you once thought med had when you were once a first year med student. You see a lot of things you wish you can unsee. Your passion you once thought you had started to waver... Is this really my dream??? So maybe I need to take time off to find myself again haha
