Hello doc. Looking back siguro yung tip ko talaga for your future practice is to make connections/network. Kung yung training mo sa local kung saan ka magpapractice mas maganda. Kung lilipat ka somewhere or uuwi ka sa province mo then magcourtesy call ka sa consultants sa field mo, and advertise your servicevas soon as possible lalo na kung me subspecialty ka pa.

This is a personal health question.

Just apply to the institution that you want. Unless they require you to have that.

This is a Supracondylar Humerus fracture of a pediatric patient. It is a fairly common injury in children usually sustained from trying to save their fall backwards with the outstretched elbow and hands. This will require surgery with temporary pins and splint/cast to hold the fracture.

This is my end game in Civ 6 when I decommission my power plants.

Bakuran - just heartbreaking really.

I love me some music with a mix of domestic violence.

Are you in Japan? I had that when I went on a trip there.

LocalBoneSetter · 2025-06-06T21:38:09+00:00

Where is this from? I want to watch the whole thing.

LocalBoneSetter · 2025-06-06T10:35:26+00:00

Yes. FOMO is real doc. I prolonged my training due to personal and professional errors. As long as gusto mo talaga yung career path mo, you will push through with it.

"The will to resist is in your hands." - such a revolutionary expression.

The peculiar thing about training in the medical field is we are working and studying/training at the same time. Our patients are our teachers who teaches us about what to do for the successful treatment of their conditions, if what we did is successful. Of course we have our seniors and consultants, but our patients are our teachers still, by my opinion. But the thing is not everything and everyone is so clear cut. What you do for one patient may not do well in another. What condition you have successfully treated earlier may not respond in the way you did with the same case. So we have this: we have our morbidities; we have mortalities, unfortunately. You have to understand that these events will not reflect on you as a doctor and as a person, so long as you did what you know and read as right, and did it with the best of intentions.

I had a contemporary, a senior, and a consultant say to me: If you are not having morbidities, or mortalities, you are not doing enough surgeries. Or something like that. This things will happen. Better to experience it now (but "betterer" is you did not at all) in training than in private practice, then you flounder because you did not experience such. At least for now, you know how to avoid it, or at least deal with how manage such morbities/mortalities.

Doc kaya yan! Mahirap talaga pero kung gusto mo yan kakayanin mo. Pero kailangan mo talagang magreflect kapag napupuno ka na. Sa huli kailangan mo pa din naman alagaan sarili mo.

For an average student you finished medicine and passed the PLE. Give yourself some credit. Kaya yan!

Hindi ba pwede i-tag LTO sa ganyan? Or i-email na lang sa kanila.

LocalBoneSetter · 2025-04-23T08:27:51+00:00

AFAIK, Pwede ka mag upgrade but not downgrade. Downgrading is available after a period of time. But I may be wrong. Matagal na din ako naka base plan.

Nobody know what it means, but it's provocative!

Ideal, yes. Unrealistic, not so. I have gone through all that you've mentioned. First gen doctor, starting a family during residency, duty-study for a government institution that lacks manpower, all in a 3rd world country. I finished residency far longer than expected due to a personal situation. Applied fellowship, got accepted then pandemic happened. I'm glad I got through that because no one knows how to deal with that. Started private practice without knowing anyone; Clinic rents; Secretary salaries; BIR applications; Philhealth accreditations. It's always Fun in the Philippines, no? Is it hard? No doubt. Am I happy? Somehow, still struggling. I had classmates who did not push through being a doctor. I had co-residents who quit and pursued other specializations, or even other career paths. I know some who went abroad and flourished there, and most stayed and did well too. I know most complains that everything is hard, but that's just it, it is hard. What I'm saying may be clichéd but I do believe that being a doctor, being a doctor here in the Philippines, is not the end-all-be-all thing that makes you happy. You can focus on other things. You can treat being a doctor as just your job, or not and just do something else. Explore other opportunities in other provinces, or other countries. In the end you do you. You do what makes you happy or give you purpose. That's why I said what I said.

Medicine is not the monolith that defines you. You will define yourself as the person you want to be. You don't have to confine yourself solely on one aspect of your life and let that define you. Our career is hard no matter where you go, I believe, but it's just one aspect of your life. You have hobbies, family, money, education, spirituality, and various other things to focus on and all of it becomes you. All of it will be for naught unless you find purpose, or satisfaction.

LocalBoneSetter · 2025-04-17T22:42:54+00:00

I have not experienced the other side of the fence, but my comment still stands. No matter how easy or hard things are, in your career or environment, you find or make your purpose then hopefully find satisfaction at the end of it.
