Ang Carinderia Ni Doc KC

Since the BIR's new directive drew flak from netizens and the involved professionals, I decided to protest through poking fun at it by making a list:

Kasi naman magmumukhang carinderia ang mga clinic pag natuloy ang gusto nilang mangyari. Carinderiang may menu ang kalalabasan kung ililista ko lahat. Kaya ayan tinuloy ko na, nilagyan ko na rin ng pagkain para naman di nakakahiya sa kanila. Haha. DAWORST.

Oozing With Vacuous Ideas

As I was lurking online last night, after deciding that staring aimlessly at my Anatomy book is not studying, I came across numerous posts regarding the BIR's directive that professionals should post in their offices the rates that they charge their clients. 

That, by far, has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. No, probably in my lifetime. 

Speaking as a future physician, I really cannot hide my disgust for this directive because I felt that it belittles medicine as a profession. Ever since I went to med school and went on to internship, I experienced a lot of things that a lot of people do not see. These are the years of sacrifices and hardships that the physician and their families had to go through in order to care for the sick. Giving up a part of your life for the sake of others is not easy but we opted to do it to serve the people. And now the smart aleck BIR comes up with a a bright idea that equates the profession as a money-making scheme.

It's true that there is a so-called "business side of medicine". Hey, we also need to earn money to live but we don't do it all the time. I know of the noble deeds of my mentors and seniors who do not charge financially incapable patients. I don't need to expound on that but I'm sure you've heard of such stories already. A simple "thank you" is enough for them and it makes them feel like they've been paid a million dollars.

That makes the practice of medicine worth it and it cannot be equated to any amount of monetary value.

I do not approve of this directive because his move is plainly UNETHICAL and it DEVALUES THE NOBILITY of the profession. Let me check it out with the Philippine Medical Association's Code of Ethics so I can prove my point about this directive being unethical:

 Exhibit A: Article III Section 4

So you see, only the name, field of specialty, office hours or the office or residential address may be posted. I do not see a SERVICE PRICE LIST written in there and in the other parts of the Code as well. To drive my point home about physicians giving out their services for free and why some fees seem to be higher than that of the other cases, I give you:

Exhibit B: Article II Section 7

Funny how this is imposed at the same time that questionable allocation of revenues is the current national issue. So now I'm thinking about how would the taxes that I'm going to pay in the future be used?

Sentimental Value

Ever since I lost my stuff to those fucktards a few weeks ago, I can't help but feel sad because all of the stuff they took are of value. As you might have known or read a few posts back, I don't wallow on the monetary value of my stuff but on the sentimental value of it because all are gifts from my parents and friends. At this point, I don't want to gag at my own sentimentality but I would like to go to the reasons behind that. What was most painful was the loss of my watch that was given to me by my Tito Nonoy when I was in 6th grade and my Samsung Galaxy Tablet which was given to me by my dad for my 26th birthday.

You might say that I shouldn't worry about the material possessions I lost because at least we weren't hurt. Yes, I'm happy that no one was hurt but you see, I have reasons for mulling over the loss of my stuff. First off, I am not the type to ask my parents for seriously expensive stuff unless I really need it or deserve it. I usually wait for an occasion so I can ask for it or I just wait for it to be given to me if my parents also think as I do. So just imagine my joy when it's given to me. Not only that, we were raised by our parents wherein we should work hard in order to gain something and that not everything should be given in a whim. For example, something would be given if we follow the condition that we would get good grades at school. Receiving stuff out of hard work is really bittersweet. Lastly, if an object was given to me out of sheer kindness and generosity of the giver, I really treasure that because it makes me feel that someone actually cares. Haha. Mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko, basta naalala mo ako kahit gaano pa kamura yan, binibigyan ko yan ng halaga.

For the record, I am not materialistic. I am just a very sentimental young woman. Kbye.

I Should Write A Book

When I was in med school, I take "trans making" seriously because it serves as my means of studying that particular topic. Not only that, I hate disorganized notes with bullets that go to various directions, too large font sizes, wide spaces and outdated information (OC ALERT!). I opted to make my own trans because I can't afford to be distracted by disorganization-related anxiety. My friends also did the same because there was no formal arrangement for a trans committee for our class. So one day, we connived and the Boastful Trans committee was born. 

Our trans committee was so efficient that at some point, it was the subject of ridicule and personal attacks. The Boastful Transcriptions also got passed on to the next batch. I didn't mind it at first but it pissed me off that people had the nerve to write my name off from it. Wala naman akong ibang hiningi kundi ang simpleng pasasalamat lang. CHARRR! Haha.

Anyway, that was all in the past and I just focused on the now. Having graduated from med school, it makes me glad to hear that my trans (especially my Legal med series) helped a lot of students. 

Recently, I got a message from a school mate and there I found out that my trans are now known as the "KC Trans"

So I can't help but laugh at the KC Trans thing.

And this school mate of mine knows how it should be. I'm so proud! *single tear*:

I've read about the legendary IM Platinum: The Official Aherrera Notes and the Fatty Liver of Dr Katherine Lei, Dr Willy Liangco and Dr Janus Ong so in a surfeit of ambitiousness, I thought: 

LELSSSSS

Now where's my chlorpromazine injection because I'm starting to think a little loco again. Hahaha.

To The Guys Who Pointed A Gun At My Head and Took Our Stuff...

I hope you guys are having a swell time using the money you earned from selling our stuff at a cheap price. It was pretty nifty, organizing a heist then you guys scare us shitless, forcing us to give you our valuables so you won't blast our heads to pieces then running off with your loot. Genius. Absolute genius.

I have no idea on what your motives are but I'm sure it's rooted in money. Why don't you dipshits get a decent job? At least what you're feeding your family or yourselves do not come from dirty money.

Just so you know, what you took from me is worth more than what you think. Everything has sentimental value to me because those were given by people who are dear to me. Not only that you wiped out my sense of security that I was too scared to even come for duty. In short, you took away my peace of mind, you cunts!
