This unfortunate incident happened at around 9am this morning on my way to the clinic. I was following a tricycle (approx speed: 20-30KPH) on a 2 way street when suddenly a 7 years old boy crossed the street from the opposite side. I immediately stepped on the brakes but the momentum of the Furt… must have hit him causing him to fall down on the pavement. Good thing he only suffered a small swelling behind his head. The mother of the boy was busy attending to her other child that she did not notice the boy suddenly crossed the street.
The bystanders, some were even my patients, told me to just go anyway my speed is slow and the boy is okay. But I insisted on bringing the child to my clinic for a thorough examination and a skull X-ray just to be on the safe side. Good thing my initial exam and preliminary Xray is okay. I sent the boy home and instructed to follow-up tomorrow.
I am usually a slow and careful driver and I even don’t drink so I am often the “designated driver” after parties but accident like this do happen sometimes.

June 8th, 2006 03:12 PM #2Good thing walang serious na problema nangyari. Kudos also for being a responsible motorist. Accidents really happen at a time we expected it the least. Nangyari sa kin yan some time ago. May nakatigil namang jeep on my left in a oneway street then suddenly may tumawid na bata coming from the jeepney side. Naghahabulan kasi sila. Di ko nakita kasi natatakpan ng jeep. Tilapon yung bata. Takbo agad ng makatayo. Hinabol ko pa kasi ayaw magpadala sa hospital. Buti na lang dinala ko parin kahit sabi nung mga tao, kasalanan nung bata. Later discovered nagka fracture yung collar bone. Kaya mag tsikoteers, ingat lang sa kalye! More so sa mga eskinita dahil maraming bata...remember: pag may bolang tumawid, kasunod non bata!

June 9th, 2006 05:34 AM #6delikado yung mga aksidenteng ganyan, suwerte
ka hindi ka kinuyug ng mga kapamilya nya. kung minsan
ganyan mga aksidente sa atin kahit kasalanan mo
kukuyugin ka nila. kaya ako pag nagmamaneho ako
sa probinsya o kaya sa maraming mga tao o bata, bagal
bagal lang ako sa kalye.
ako siguro pag nakasagasa ako sa daan at nadedbol
sya mismo on the spot, hindi ko sya hihintuan. ang gagawin
ko pupunta mismo ako sa munisipio ng police para
ipagbigay alam ko sa mga me awtoridad. bakit ka mo?,
mahirap na pag nakasagasa at nakapatay ka sa daan,
baka buhay mo kapalit dahil kukuyugin ka ng mga kapamilya
niyan.
ang maganda i report mo sa police station para maiwasan
ang kuyog, at consiensiya mo.

June 9th, 2006 05:53 AM #7actually, that is the right thing to do in these cases. you have to bring the victim even though it's not your fault. para maka-siguro na walang problema later on saka humanitarian cause na rin.

June 9th, 2006 01:12 PM #9Alright! Idol! Buti rin lang mukhang taga-diyan ka rin at kilala ka rin sa area. At mabuti wala serious na nagyari sa bata.
Yan ang hirap sa mga bata minsan, ang hirap i-predict ang kanilang actions sa kalye. What you think an adult will never do, pagdating sa bata, talo-talo na - down the drain ang assumptions mo. So, ingat-ingat lang talaga sa mga thickly populated areas.

June 9th, 2006 02:01 PM #11nugundam93, thank you. Maramii kasing anak yong parents halos taon-taon buntis yong ina. Bawal kasi ang family planning sa simbahan. Pero in fairness naman sa pamilya, they did not ask / demand monetary consideration basta mapagamot lang yong bata ok na daw sa kamila. Originally Posted by nugundam93

I also instructed the parents to come back today for follow-up just to be sure.
In fairness naman to the family they did not seek any monetary consideration. As long as the child is OK tama na daw sa kanila yon. So pasalamat talaga ako sa kanila.
