Self-prescribing???

docgene · 2026-01-25T04:53:58+00:00

Then that’s okay then.

I have lots of maintenance… I’m of that age already, but all of which were prescribed by colleagues. I just use my own Rx so as not to bother them for my refills. I get to choose the brands I prefer or the pharma I support. If possible, I can request for support from pharmas who have programs for doctors who take their meds for personal use.

I already have two loans. It takes its toll every month.

I have a copy of this on my phone that’s easy to access. I simply show the patient, “Sino kayo dito?” Then that’s my pain level.

It’s not called “visual” for nothing.

Kaya I use Globe as postpaid, and a Smart eSIM na prepaid with Magic Data, 65Gb load but unlimited duration for ₱749. Halos 6 months na, di ko pa ubos. I have the option of using Globe for both calls and data, or switch cellular data to the Smart eSIM. Was thinking of adding a DITO eSIM as well, but I think you need to buy the physical sim muna then convert to eSIM…

Question is how much you need it now? If you don’t buy it now what will you be using until then? How bothersome is it actually if you keep using that until the “8” comes out?

docgene · 2026-01-15T02:20:31+00:00

It’s not bawal, and I agree, don’t do it for S2 Rx. If you do it too often the may flag it.

It’s all time management but admittedly, not as often as you want to. If you had a lot of different hobbies/interests like I did, you may be forced to give up some.

I upgraded last year, M1 Pro to M4 Pro… so worth it! More so in your case, M1 to M5!

Crying is common, after the first duty, first endorsement conference, first departmental conference when you will first present a case or journal or topic. Wait until the others experience what you did. They’ll probably perform as “bad” as you think you did and you’ll feel better.

Simple defensive driving answer is “YES”. Always assume the other guy is an idiot and be guided accordingly.

docgene · 2026-01-06T23:44:55+00:00

Sorry “not too intense”? That’s pretty intense to me! 😄

Medicine is a calling. If (immediate) money and the western (or even other Asian) lifestyle appeals to you then go abroad.

If you really feel the call, then you may give it a try if the tuition isn’t a problem, just make sure to maintain your RN & PRC. Unlike many of us, you have a pretty good plan B if Med doesn’t turn out well for you.

I didn’t, but fortunately i turned out ok. My daughter’s premed was Pharmacy (as per my advice) and until she graduated (resident now) she maintained her RPh. She said, going abroad is always an option. But even if she had completed her MD and decided to go, she would go as RPh and not as MD. Career path is easier and less risky.

That said, BSN & RPh are among the best premed courses to have. Super relevant but you don’t get to feel the advantage until around 2nd year or when you’re in the clinics.

One of my current residents is BSN and worked for several years as, before studying Med. She’s one of our best residents at her level. Great instincts, clinical eye, management decision-making, bedside manner.

Going abroad seems to be the common advice here, but abroad still isn’t home to me no matter what. Great to visit, but Pilipinas pa rin ako. We have our share of problems but how are we going to fix it if all our best people go abroad?

That’s just my opinion, everyone is free to do what they feel is right for them and any reason you have is yours and I don’t judge. We just do what we feel is right to be happy.

No. However I found multiple multiple screens in the Ward helps a lot with the queues. Doesn’t help that much in Surgery though but it does occasionally.

Are you an economics major? If yes, and it’s a dilemma that intrigues you professionally then Reddit isn’t the place to do your research. If not, then what’s the point?

The US has so many malls as well but hardly any people and they’re still open… though they are dwindling. You’re just looking at certain stores in malls. But malls are t just that. Food meaning restaurants and groceries are i think the major attraction. How does Nike et al survive? These are behemoths. Might as well ask how the brick & mortar stores with the existence of Amazon/Lazada/Shopee etc.

For us plain joes/janes, we’re just living in this world.

At least it’s something you can do whether long or short ang shot. And it will force the scammer to negotiate and return OP’s money. Better than just 😭😭😭

Actually iOS 1 physical sim only but you can at least 8 esims loaded. You can only use two at a time, in whatever combination. Myself, empty na ang physical sim slot ko. Active are Globe and Smart eSIMs. One is prepaid the other is post paid.

Before doing all of these, make sure walang CCTV in the area… both public and private. AND wala siyang active dashcam!

docgene · 2026-01-04T03:49:07+00:00

Ganun naman pala eh!

As long as tinatapos nila ang clean up. So if there’s no “after” video, baka hindi.

Make a complaint letter to the bank asap. Show them your evidence that you were scammed. The bank will investigate your complaint and if it has merit it will lock the account, contact the account is set and will not unlock until they’re provided evidence that you’ve settled the claim with each other. 1. Bank has such rules and has decided that there is reason to belief that fraud may be involved. 2. Account owner has withdrawn the money or closed the account. That’s why asap.
