In fairness, kahit private hospitals madaming masungit na employees -- and this is not even limited to doctors. Minsan nga feeling ko mas malaki ang hospital mas masungit ang mga tao eh. It's often a struggle to find a good balance between bedside service and manners and completeness of facilities and services.

I'm not sure but I prefer if ALL hospital peronnel get some training on bedside and good manners. Mahirap kasi lahat ng nandun either may sakit o kamag-anak ng may-sakit o stressed out employees. Ito pa namang si Dr. House nagpauso ng masungit at rude pero magaling na doctor.

IS it all about saving lives? IMHO, it's also all about the quality of the life you manage to extend.
