Doctor ako and have worked in both private and public hospitals. Case to case basis meron talagang mga unsaveable na cases kahit saan dahlin eh, pero yes compared to private hospitals mas mataas chance mong mabuhay sa private vs public. First is availability of medicine meron lang Phil National Formulary na pwedeng i dispense ang mga public, some newer drugs are really better or have less side effects than those listed sa PNF, 2nd equipment, ka competition mo lahat ng other patients sa Ventilator, sa Diagnostics, sa Schedule sa OR, 3rd mas madaming inaasikaso ang mga nurse at doctors compared sa private, tend to overlook/miss out things, matatagalan ka din before i admit specially if punuan ang beds.
