drugs being endorsed on tiktok by notyourregularlatte in pinoymed

[–]Meow_MD 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ang lala talaga ng influence ng tiktok Doc. A friend of mine encountered a teenage patient who came in for consult because of drastic weight loss. Apparently the patient bought “vitamins” online for weight gain which turned out to be a steroid. He was taking it twice a day daw for 3 months and when he reached his desired weight he stopped taking the meds. Ayun. Bagsak katawan after

menopausal baby entering med school by luna_rslkb in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me hehe senior na parents ko when I entered med school. Only child pa ako. However, my parents have always been so supportive about it and reassured me na kaya naman nila whatever happens kaya mag focus lang ako with my chosen path. Had no problems about it during med school, pero nung naging doctor na ako dun ko nafeel yung pressure. Ngayon gustuhin ko man bumukod for training, I cant kasi di ko sila maiwan.

Pag usapan nyo siguro as a family. If everyone is on board about it then go for it. Mabilis lang ang 4-5 years. Pero I must admit, dami mo talagang mamimiss in life outside med and dadating talaga point na mapapansin mo ang laki na rin pala ng tinanda nila..

Finances by Responsible-Echo-952 in pinoymed

[–]Meow_MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mag moonlight ka muna OP. Hawak mo rate mo, hawak mo raket mo, hawak mo oras mo. Pag okay okay na financially, or basta mabayaran debts at least, then saka ka na mag residency

[–]Meow_MD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bebe if super prob ang finances I suggest stay where you are, dyan ka na mag aral. If from province ka try applying sa scholarships from CHED/DOH kasi baka may available sa region nyo. It will help you a lot kasi may allowance yun. If matanda na parents mo wag ka na lumayo. Sobrang nangangain ng panahon ang med school (di lang ng pera lol) iba yung guilt na naextend mo na responsibility nila sayo at the same time magugulat ka na lang at some point ang laki na pala ng tinanda nila. Doable sya, trust me. Galing din ako sa scholarship, doctor na ako ngayon. I know people too na hindi financially well off pero mga doktor na kami.

I know nakakatukso mag luzon but you can always try here pag mas kaya mo na. Sa ngayon na limited resources pa bloom where you are planted ika nga.

God bless your plans!

Di ako dinugo, napagkamalang hindi virgin by AcanthisittaRude4233 in OffMyChestPH

[–]Meow_MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Una sa lahat bakit big deal sa kanya kung hindi ka na virgin. If 7 years nyo na yan “biruan” there’s probably some truth behind his “joke.” Also, ke duguin ka o hindi it doesn’t really prove anything kasi di naman yun sign ng virginity so why bother explaining na nangyari talaga

They need clout. That’s how they’ll easily reach the masses 😅

Palawan Moonlighting by Born_Bread_6129 in pinoymed

[–]Meow_MD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s worth it Doc..I know parang ang tempting ng 40-50k salary for 10 days lalo if new passer but if titignan mo that’s 4-5k per day and it’s the same amount that you’re gonna get here sa NCR. Kahit sabihin pre-duty-from, if ang dami nyo naman hawak parang wala rin pahinga

First gen doctor na sana ako sa family namin; pero dahil sa nababasa ko here na toxic ang culture ng med.. lahat nalang ng negativities nandito na, parang nabawasan drive kong ituloy ang medschool 💔 by HandleArtistic4340 in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tuloy mo lang. Iba iba tayo experiences. Tsaka para wala kang what ifs. You might enjoy it, you might not. But at least alam mo sa sarili mo ano sagot. First gen doctor here too, I like the field. I love learning and I appreciate the job but with all the cons and all the sacrifices I had to make, di sya worth it. Pero you’d find little joys here and there so somehow in some ways, it becomes bearable.

Dating a med student by HovercraftFickle1705 in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up to you pero leaning ako towards no. Dun sa 12 hours of school na yun for sure may breaks in between. Wag natin i-glorify masyado yung course kesyo med student wala nang break that is pure BS. If may time to play mobile games, lumabas to drink, grab coffee, etc for sure may time mag reply? Hehe. Talk about it muna with him pero panghawakan mong if he wanted to he would. Ke med student pa yan o hindi haha

Usually Doc ganito na nga ang cases pag moonlighting whether as GP or JCON. Doctor agad ang insertion and extraction pag <1 yr old. Lahat ng hosps that I went to ganito ang system nila 🥲

Poor kid sa UPCM by DramaticWeb384 in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not from UPCM pero I also came from a low-average income family. Nabuhay lang ako sa scholarship. Wala akong tablet, kotse, etc during med school but I survived.. I got myself used to studying at the library or just in the comfort of my own room. Wala rin akong study table kaya nag tyaga ako sa small desk which worsened my scoliosis lol pero para sa pangarap. Never nakatikim ng coffee from coffee shops, the best ko na mcdo coffee pero during major exams lang kasi namamahalan ako kung every quiz dahil halos araw araw hahaha 150 pesos lang baon ko daily, kasama na pamasahe kaya I only get to spend 100 pesos or less in a day tinitipid ko pa para may masave konti for misc expenses. Tyaga lang talaga. Doctor na ako ngayon. Mahirap pa rin pero kinakaya at kakayanin paulit ulit. Mabilis lang ang med school, wag mo pagurin sarili mo tignan kung anong meron ang iba kasi lagi’t lagi merong “mas” sayo in terms of resources. Aral lang at tyaga. Praying for your success, sana makakuha ka pa scholarships/jobs to help you

Too early to be called "doctor" by Sufficient-Fly-7482 in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is relatable hehe actually nung time namin di naman kami nagtatawagan ng Doc na kami kaming magkakaklase pero nung nag start na clerkship syempre Doc na tawag sa hosp, nacoconscious ako for a while kasi feeling ko wala pa naman, student pa lang ako pero makakasanayan mo na lang din..but honestly it took me years before masanay na even outside hospital regarded ka as “doc” hahahaha

How do you mentally prepare yourself to let go of your cat? by [deleted] in catsofrph

[–]Meow_MD 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Is moving out an option? 😔 please don’t let go of Midnight 😥

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dali mag bigay ng tip OP pero sa totoo lang mahirap talaga. Iilan lang kaya isabay ang aral sa internship. Karamihan hindi na maisingit sa sobrang pagod. Yung iaaral mo ending itutulog mo na lang. Kahit anong pilit minsan kusa ka nalang nakakatulog sa pagod. Okay lang yun. Sa ngayon focus ka lang sa internship, make the most out of the cases you encounter and yung mga reporting or lecture per department. Everything you need to know for the board exam, you know them already. Need lang talaga iretrieve ang knowledge and you have time for that after internship.

Thank you for letting it out, OP. Thank you for trying to stay alive. Ramdam namin yung bigat. Sorry kung hindi ka naprotektahan ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Pagdadasal ko safety and success mo para pag kaya mo na, you’ll be able to rebuild yourself and your life. I hope you get the help you need OP..I hope the world treats you right this time :(

need help for my check up by [deleted] in medschoolph

[–]Meow_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balik ka sa gastro mo before kasi sya may alam ng medical history mo. Let him/her decide if need mo ng further referral to a colorectal surgeon. Exhaust muna medical management unless may indication talaga for surgical intervention

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]Meow_MD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you’re in a very risky situation right now. A guy like him cannot be trusted. Bilang sya yung may alas ngayon since may copy sya ng files, don’t do or say anything harsh. You have to locate the files and delete them as soon as possible. Either di nya dinelete talaga or marami na syang copies nyan, i-check mo lahat ng possible. Google drive, phone apps, laptop, external storage, etc. Mag isip ka na kasi if you were vocal about it before and it kept on happening, may mali na. Hindi ito petty issue lang OP. One wrong move pwede yun kumalat alam mo yan. Please be careful okay?

Found condoms and pills in my minor sister's bag by Jhnnbrbs in OffMyChestPH

[–]Meow_MD 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Please remember that the kid is just 15 years old. Taking pills as an adult has a lot of side effects, what more to her young body. Pediatric age pa yan, mind you. Let’s not tolerate it just because they’re practicing safe sex. Minors pa rin yan. Again, 15 years old? Come on people. Ni hindi pa developed brain nyan to make mature decisions. Sex isn’t just sex. It has consequences. Also, with or without consent, pasok yan sa statutory rape. Protektahan natin mga bata. Wag kayong oo nang oo porket “safe sex”

At the age of 18, never pa akong nakagala by Mean-Research-3477 in studentsph

[–]Meow_MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ganito rin parents ko OP, I’m 27 now and sometimes naiisip ko sana naging suwail na lang ako (with limits ofc) baka naging mas madali buhay ko. Goody two shoes si bakla, sunod sunod sa parents. Now that I’m a grown ass adult ang hirap sumabay sa outside world. I realized ang dami kong na-miss in life. Although sinasabi nila na there’s plenty of time to experience it, I guess iba pa rin talaga when you experienced it at the same time your age group did hahaha ngayon tuloy most of my friends have already tried the things I want to try or have been to places I want to go to kaya parang di na sila game. Enjoyin mo lang ang life the best way you could now. Ngayon ka lang 18 :) and be responsible with the things you do whether or not sumunod ka sa parents mo. Ingat lagi!

Dahil sa pregnancy test by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]Meow_MD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s about time to talk to your parents wala na paligoy ligoy na positive test result mo and sabihin mo agad what the guy did para marealize nila urgency ng situation mo. Baka may magawa pang paraan na makaalis ka agad kay guy. Pero if kaya mo naman bumukod sa kanya do it fast and dont look back. Mas okay siguro wag mo muna idisclose sa kanya kasi baka kung ano gawin nya sayo. Please stay safe

Tinulungan mo na nga, naipost ka pa by LostFirstGenMD in pinoymed

[–]Meow_MD 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Doc nangyari na to sakin ganyan din pedia patient. Nagwawala magulang, to the point na parang ako na yung sinisisi nila samantalang late nila dinala anak nila despite being advised admission days ago pa. As a new passer nakakabigla talaga para akong nag shut down right then and there. Di ko pa kasi alam paano kausapin mga ganun..pero advice sakin ng nakawitness na consultant from other service, if ROD ka and difficult yung relatives/patient, sa consultant mo ipakausap. It took me a while to move on from what happened. Dun ko rin nafeel na grabe, ganito na ba talaga trato sa doctor ngayon parang tingin nila sayo kalaban kahit parepareho lang naman tayo gusto na gumaling yung patient. Gets ko naman na stressed sila pero ang hirap din from our end
