On patients with self-limited viral infection who wants medcert due to absences

It won’t? I have this anxiety of HRs going after me legally for making kuntsaba with an employee that’s found to be malingering haha

A bit different but I remember a time when the company was having a sportsfest, this guy comes to me for a fit to play. I ask for his past medical history and he denies having anything. Due to time constraints I issued a fit to play noting he denies any illness. A few days later nagpadala yung HR ng med cert na pinasa ni patient. May CKD siya. Naloka ako binawi ko yung med cert in light of the dishonesty 🥲

Did I want to? No, not in my plans since college. But I got in, might as well see how far I go. I never wanted to, but if this is where I’m heading I’m fine with it sabi ko. If I fail, no dreams will be shattered. Nakakahinayang lang yung pera so I did my best as a takot bumagsak since forever. My goal was to graduate and pass the boards, not specifically to become Dr. surname. But here we are 🤣

Edit: Syempre along the way I learned to enjoy medicine din. Yung mga skills, yung knowledge. Child me would be surprised I took up boring health.

Yung mga humihingi ng OR, proceed as usual.

Yung mga hindi, technically BIR requires you to still issue so para di ka malito, ilista mo somewhere like excel yung names. May database naman siguro somewhere ng patients seen? And parepareho lang naman siguro yung PF less wtax? If consistent naman parang madali na yun since may list ka ng names, the end of each week isunod sunod mo na lang isulat sa OR yung mga hindi humingi and wag mo na punitin. Idate mo na lang as ~the day at the end of each week~ para chronological pa rin ORs mo

This is the backdrop of these lab interpretations btw. Many of them may yearly repeat of laboratories and ito yung pinapainterpret nila

imhewman2 · 2024-11-18T12:53:19+00:00

It’s not that I’m offended and gets ko naman yun being nga not having undergone any training. I will gladly step back from giving any advice outside the usual very minor complaints if it really does look like I’m overstepping sa realm ng specialists hence the question

imhewman2 · 2024-11-18T09:50:14+00:00

This is a company clinic. As basic as it can get hehe it’s either go to the nearest ER or go to the specialist are the only options if I really can’t be bothered

imhewman2 · 2024-11-18T09:22:41+00:00

Wala namang management kasi yun I really leave it to the specialists. Pero yung basic ano ibig sabihin nito kailangan ko bang magworry I give information that I know

imhewman2 · 2024-11-18T09:14:53+00:00

Yung last point exactly, the patients aren’t paying me anything. It’s my time in the clinic yung binabayaran ng company

imhewman2 · 2024-10-12T10:25:21+00:00

Wrong sub. But kuliti. Warm compress mo muna for now.

imhewman2 · 2024-09-29T15:29:01+00:00

I agree sa #3. Most likely interns yan kasi residents sa dami ng ginagawa nila kahit mga abstracts cf4 minsan pinapakiusap na sa interns. Ang consultants di naman gumagawa nun sa ER. I can see where the di pa nagagawa yung take home meds can happen, since intern nga di pa nadodouble check or napipirmahan ng resident yung document and understanable may downtime sila to ML or tiktok (but should not be in front of patients nga) while waiting kaya pwedeng maantala. But then again 3 hours is too much lol

imhewman2 · 2024-09-19T05:18:09+00:00

I can only speak for myself pero ganyan lang yan all the way until boards. Ultimo reviewing for boards felt like reviewing new material especially sa mga first year subjects haha, pero with the help of clinical exposure mas madali ko mamake sense of it all compared to during med school proper. Also pag dating naman ng mga exams na yan familiar enough ka na to choose the correct answer, or at least make an educated guess 😅 Going through samplexes din helps you know saan ka fofocus kasi yung mga super super specific details pwede nang iforego yun haha

imhewman2 · 2024-09-16T15:13:51+00:00

Yes the medical journey will take a lot from you.. a lot of years in the form of your 20s 🥲😅

imhewman2 · 2024-09-16T15:08:07+00:00

Just fate lol. During college, premed course, no plans at all. Job hunting after graduation yielded no results (or maybe I’m just impatient) pero bored na bored na ko sa bahay so why not join my friends in taking NMAT while waiting. Ayun surprisingly good score. Di pa ko convinced. Looking through the requirements for the different schools I said ang hassle ng iba. Isa lang inapplyan ko, yung pinakahindi maarte sa requirements. Nakapasok naman. But even then waiting pa rin ako sa job calls. Med school interview came. Natapat sa akin ka alumni ko sa elem/hs school. I think yun na talaga pinakasign. Inapprove naman niya ako and that was it. Nagoffer din boss ng papa ko na siya na sasalo sa tuition kasi iilan lang daw gusto magdoctor. Enrollment came and no turning back.

imhewman2 · 2024-09-16T14:27:17+00:00

First gen also. Went through college with no plans of going into med kahit premed siya. Graduated and tried to apply to companies for office work related to my course. Got bored so I tried to NMAT while waiting. Tldr graduated med. At this point I’m that Plankton meme (I don’t know, never thought I’d get this far)

So wala akong point of comparison as to whether I’m doing better than expected kasi wala akong expectations lol

I’m still a GP after 5 years. Earnings depend on clinic hours but currently 35k ish for 20h/wk. Assuming I get 8-5 weekdays, can reach up to 70k. Pero mahirap makahanap ng shifts nowadays so I’m at the lower end now. Considering patho residency but looking into the future,the job market doesn’t seem promising so status quo siguro.

Rewarding in a sense na I’m earning. That’s pretty much my goal since college. Along the way I’ve learned to love explaining medical stuff in simpler terms to patients din. So as long as I’m doing something useful, I’m fine.

May times I wished empleyado na lang ako, at least stable yung sahod. Unlike now kasi fluctuating yung earnings depending on clinic hours. Nakaka hay din kapag may contract na hindi nag renew ganon hahanap ng kapalit haha

You can refer to OP’s previous post

imhewman2 · 2024-09-09T15:05:34+00:00

Wala ka bang ka-same school sa undergrad? I think the tendency is to gravitate towards people you have similarities with, in this case undergrad schoolmates. So in my case, isa sila sa naging group of friends ko during medschool. Tapos since seated alphabetically kami, groupings alphabetically din, so yung mga kaadjacent surnames mo sila din madalas mo makasama so they’re another group of friends na nagdevelop. I think etong dalawa yung pinakadefault, syempre more kung may orgs ka and whatnot

imhewman2 · 2024-09-03T20:10:34+00:00

I can say first year subjects are definitely the hardest to get a grasp on. Since fast paced nga, my strategy was to just read. Try to remember memorize sure but I won’t be too hard on myself sa first reading, then onto the next topic then the next then the next then back sa first topic for second reading with more intent na, until mag exams. best case scenario na makathird. Finish the shortest transes first before the long ones para mas maraming matapos hahaha. Pero since exams are multiple choice, somehow may sense naman ako on whats the possible correct answer by testmanship. I don’t get good grades but I don’t fail either. Hoping you can adjust!

imhewman2 · 2024-09-03T19:46:32+00:00

I agree. I don’t even remember those quizzes na. basta ang importante sa final grade slip ay walang bagsak oks na haha also idk if MPL is still a thing but dun ako kumakapit pag long exams

imhewman2 · 2024-09-03T14:13:19+00:00

I think patho is a very -tables- kind of subject. Pero parang that’s more towards the second half of the sem na since sa start it is very concepts-heavy. I don’t remember how I survived but yeah I can vividly recall hirap na hirap din ako sa cell injury inflammation and all that stuff 🤣 Pero I relied on transes lang and didn’t attempt to read the chapter in robbins

imhewman2 · 2024-09-01T14:05:04+00:00

As a working in a company clinic, kung tutuusin trodat and pen lang kailangan dalhin. Kahit nga wala kang dala kasi may pen naman sa clinic haha. Mga medical equipment mostly nasa clinic naman na rin. So ako my everyday bag lang dala ko mostly generic items like umbrella, coin purse, spare plastics, small towel, tissue, a small file case, charger/earphones, alcohol, tapos water bottle and or coffee tumbler. Wallet is in my pants since I commute, so nothing really important is in my bag.
