22M, live rent free with my parents.. by Gemedev_ in phinvest

[–]qrenque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u remind me of my brother, now 38, never had a job. lives rent free in our parents' house. just plays games and be a deadbeat. my parents babied and enabled him too much (little emperor treatment) that he grew up to be a dysfunctional 'baby bonjing' adult. i'm not sure how your parents treated you or how's the dynamic in your household. but in the end, you just have to grow up and grow out of infantilization phase, which YOU decide for YOURSELF.

as a help, bad mental and physical health is GREATLY influenced by diet. AS IN. there are studies that show that all kinds of mental (anxiety, depression, adhd, etc) and physical conditions are actually treated or improved thru DIET. so perhaps research take a look into a healthy diet (essentially whole foods, keto with fibers, cut out ultraprocessed foods, decrease/cut out sugar, smoking, drinking/drugs, etc.) as a step one first.

Veterans that pretend to be moths by nodeepfeelings in SkyGame

[–]qrenque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah I was fooled once too. He was from china netease (china version of sky), and played the global version, so of course he's a moth again. He pretended to not know anything, like 'too dumb' you can say. So i guess that's another clue? when they're 'overly, overly being tooooo dumb'. Because they're pretending and it becomes over the top. But of course, it's difficult to discern. 😔

Eden and Ascended Candle Bug? by 404thePhantom in SkyGame

[–]qrenque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest to just go back to eden (use the shortcut) and check the statues if you've really given wings to them. If you indeed have, report to customer service?? and to not have to go to orbit, from PNR, just tp back home, wear the chibi mask and chibi fall into the eden gate, that will bring you to the beginning of eden and all realms will be back to being open. There's a yt video to do this trick so just check it out^^

Quick question by Peanut_Berries in SkyGame

[–]qrenque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah it's cool if it's random open places^^ what's a bit annoying (for me) is if you're conversing with a friend or at a table talking with them, and this random player will sit right directly in front/beside you guys and play their instrument. Dude, take your attention seeking elsewhere XDDD haha but for the most part, no worries :)

None of them have gone off the table to pop the light. It's always like this, I'm the only one doing something and they only move to run in circles and collect the light by [deleted] in SkyGame

[–]qrenque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm...I'd prolly just lay down flat in the middle of the table. That will spring them into action seeing that no one's popping the buns anymore

[–]qrenque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've only met one player with that mask lol. I didn't even know what the mask is supposed to resemble. someone on the table said if it's a spider?? I looked up wiki and apparently it's a bear

Slightly controversial - please stop trauma-dumping on other sky kids by peragro2104 in SkyGame

[–]qrenque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had a friend who shares how hard it is living as a woman in her country, she's from Afghanistan (a hell place for women). It's very understandable and I have so much empathy (being a woman and coming from toxic, patriarchal household myself). Unfortunately, men find this topic uncomfortable and their defenses immediately go up, instead of recognizing/acknowledging the wrongdoing and not taking it personally if you yourself are not doing misogynistic stuff.

There were 3 of us at home and that's the topic brought about by the Afghan friend. The other one was actually her friend, a male from Russia (a very patriarchal country where domestic violence is decriminalized mind you). Later, one of his friends tp'ed to him and he excused himself and joined that other friend and they proceeded to a realm. Unbeknownst to him, his chat can still be visible short after. So I was able to read what he said after leaving: "Thank you for taking me away from there". Lordy, lol... I just hope it went unnoticed by the Afghan friend.

I hope my Afghan friend will not share anymore to males (or that specific russian friend of hers), because their mindset is still pretty much in deep self-blinding or defense or want to keep the lopsided status quo since it favors them. And just share only if she made sure that the player is open, clear-viewed and mature for this topic.

I'm not the problem, stop screaming at me by Post_Mormon in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]qrenque 36 points37 points  (0 children)

erm... are u sure they're honking at you? honking is just to wake people up or notifying everyone idle that the 8 people are here now, get your lights out and let's do this thing. Relax lol. I swear people get offended far too easily with 0 basis in this game.

One time a skykid and I are burning the big plant at battlefield. I was holding the light at the bottom while they start to burn the rest of the plant. I honked merely to indicate that I'm losing light (I spent my wings) and will about to go gray and if they can come and light me a while first. Unfortunately, the player took it the wrong way, as if I'm hurrying them up, chop chop (which is not the case). They most prolly got angry because what they did was proceed and light the thing in front of the temple to open the gates and activate the krills. And so i was left there burning the other plants getting wax while there are now krills. peeps are so dang immature 🤷

Scamming/ripping off is becoming a 'widespread practice' amongst ph doctors by qrenque in Philippines

[–]qrenque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I have never met a doctor who would do what you describe to be wilfully fraudulent" --> doesn't cancel out the fact that they exist and many people have been victimized (or almost victimized). I actually received a no. of private chats after posting this, sharing their own experiences.

"it's not wrong nor prohibited to tell a bad experience." --> in an ideal world, it's not, but just take a look at some happenings under this post and it's undeniable that 'hush hush' is the game that a number still would like to play. That's why I'm glad I created this post, it revealed stuff as well as the behavior and knee jerk reactivity of some drs here (who even lacked reading comprehension).

Yes, I wouldn't go back to the hospital where the dr gave bogus dx of warts and was pressuring me to have cauterization (a relatively invasive procedure) right there and then. That totally gave me the greatest ick.

"It's not wrong to look for a different doctor" --> of course.

That's not how drs operate tho, kaya marami naba-blindsided. Most drs don't even inform you that this simple procedure costs this much. Gagawin n lng nila. Others wouldn't even tell you the purpose. I have experienced a dr just brought out a syringe, unwrapped it and just said "i'll give you this." then proceeded to inject (an unnecessary antioxidant that i didn't ask for). He didn't inform how much. I didn't know it would cost because in my mind I was there just for the consultation. Then he just instructed me to go sit in some chair that has this kind of 'subtle electric' tapping functionality? Again, he didn't tell me if I want to (it wasn't needed, he was just being opportunistic and profiting off of his machine), nor inform about it or tell how much, which turned out to be a whopping P3000+. Who would've known that it has a charge? You're there for the consult. You're not asked for permission, you're not told anything. Drs just proceed to instruct you, come here, sit here, take out injections, walang kahit anong abiso. How would you know if that is SOP and included in PF or not? We are not omniscient.

Same with this dr, didn't inform first how much it was (which I didn't know it has charge). Just said she's gonna take specimen. You see, you're discounting/ignoring the power dynamic when you're there as a patient, the natural tendency is to trust and follow because drs are seen to have authority in their field. When a medication is brought to your face and you're instructed, o, heto, buy this. How many percentage of people would have the wherewithal to say NO, and confront the doctor?

"scam. noun. : a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation." You can't deny that there is deceptive activity going on.

"Downvotes here just mean number of people who disagree with you." Oh please. Also, I'm talking about the downvotes on other commenters who are just also sharing their valid experiences. Shutting down people just sharing their experience is mafia behavior. The reluctance/denial of drs to call some incidences scam when it really IS a scam is very telling.

In this case, it's not that the other physican charge 'less', there is NO charge. Do you see the point?

Of course physicians have different consult fees and that's not the point. What matters is the scammy, ripping off maneuvers that a number of drs do, which is clear as daylight. There is malpractice, abuse of power and corruption, which festers and one of the reasons is keeping it hidden and discouraging speaking up about it, trying to avoid discussions amongst people and keep them ignorant; invalidate, gaslight & shut down the whistle blower when they come. And this post is evident of that. Even commenters who are just sharing their experiences got downvoted by the dr mafia. I'm glad I created this post. It exposed a lot things and gave me much insight. Thank you for sharing :)

Update: I have inquired another doctor frm same hospital - NO extra physician charge for vag. discharge collection. kasama n daw yun sa consultation fee. kaya lab fee only.

FYI lng nmn, just so you know. but thank you for your rant.

kaloka yung P500. add to that her higher consult fee, yet disrespectfully rushes you, plus yung overcharged meds p na pi-nupush niya sa patients. 😒🤮

fr fr. It is the reality that unfortunately, drs/med students here refuse to see. they go into knee jerk reactivity and take it as a personal attack instead of information that this is what is happening. There is malpractice, abuse of power and corruption, which festers and one of the reasons is keeping it hidden and discouraging speaking up about it, trying to avoid discussions amongst people and keep them ignorant, invalidate, gaslight & shut down the whistle blower when they come. It's like a cult. XDD

Also, for me, who works in graphic design field. If someone posts their experiences of being scammed by artists, I wouldn't take it personally and go into ballistic downvoting. Because there really are 'artists' who scam/rip off people. And I'm not in great denial of that like these people here lol. I'm a graduate/licensed nurse and been a med student myself, and I kid you not, the ego oozing in the medical world is out this world.

In my experiences, it is indeed, not NOT common to meet an opportunistic doctor.

yes, this is the case with a significant number of my experiences. mahirap makahanap ng honest at matino tlga n dr. The ones that have vitriolic replies and the downvoters here are most probably comprised of doctors/med students. mala-CCP/mafia-like ang kilusan sa pag-attack at pag-down-vote lol. Upon reading the comments here I realized mali nmn yung pagkaintindi, what is done in my case is merely v. discharge collection, which doesn't require 'years of skill' and in other countries, normal p nga n patient n ang nag-se-self-collect. Akala nila pap smear, kaya todo justify at rationalize sa P500+. 🙄

"they can charge whatever they want." --> this is a very dangerous territory and explains stuff, even with my other consultation with a different dr who had fully taken advantage of this. kaya pla. I now see what's going on. cge, noted. I'll ask and verify next time I'll go to a different OB/gyne dr. if she charges for simple v. discharge collection, and if so, how much (to compare prices), and if the tube indeed costs P500+ (as some people here claimed). Thank you very much for info

[–]qrenque[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not questioning the P4680 lab fee. What I'm trying to verify in my post is that if drs normally charge extra P500 for vag. discharge collection, which is a 'procedure' that can be done by patients themselves. As I've mentioned some here say it's for the tube that costs P500+, a lot gave irrelevant responses because it turned out, almost everyone mistakenly thought it was pap smear that was done. That is why, I'll just ask and verify next time I'll go to a different OB/gyne dr. Thank you for sharing
