What Are You Thinking About?

Doc, I am very amused that you know almost all the doctors that my family goes to. Even those I don't give initials nakikilala mo just with kwento. Dr Fl-----e G--z---? He was your teacher? Wow! Siguro doc you are UP med? The derma wife of Dr FG is the cousin of Dr APS. I think they are good doctors, not in the profession for the money.

why many doctors seem to know each other:
1. classmates. either in pre-med, in medical school, in residency or fellowship training, or because they belong to the same specialty society. these folks are on a first-name basis.
2. relatives. either direct relatives, or extended family relatives.
3. their teachers. "we know them, because they were our teachers. but they probably do not know us. us, being only one face in a sea of over 150 faces in the classroom, half of whom are asleep.
4. nagka-kilala because they sat beside each other in the plane of in the conference room. i once met one such, in a commuter flight in the USA. young and like-able. i found out later, he was the main speaker...
5. mutual accquaintances. either social, or professional (patient referals).
6. by reputation. "who in this XXX generation does not know the great APS, or ATL, or ATV, or AMM, or BDC, or JMCA...? when a doctor is a pioneer in a field, it is difficult not to know of him, as his name and his pioneering work are regularly mentioned in medical discourse.

medicine is just a microcosm of human society, warts and all.

Is this legit?

the moment i saw "starting price",
i immediately concluded that it is not legitimate.
government rates are uniformly uniform, kahit saan ka pa mag-apply sa bansa.

also,
the prices are bloated. a pro driver's license costs less than 1600 bucks.
how did you pass the driver's license exam if you never took it?
and the medical certificate?

i would believe my license is legitimate, kung kinodakan ako sa LTO at inabot mismo sakin ng LTO personnel sa LTO office ang lisencia..

it is still possible that the license is 'legitimate' in the sense that the LTO did officially release it,
but it would have to be, in my opinion, an inside job, i.e., an illegitimate operation.
but then again, my wild guess is...
it might be a product of the alternative LTO along claro ehme recto...
heh heh.

errr...,
saan nyo po nakita itong 'announcement' na ito?

According to MMDA na naka kahuli ng ganito hindi sila tunay ng lisensya galing sa machine ng LTO. Our license daw is made of whole polycarbonate. It can't be split or peeled. Etong mga fake usually laminated. And usually with legit license number para valid pag nag sms ka sa 2600. Pero the number is tied to other name who is the original owner of that number.

yikes!

i believe there is a hefty penalty if one is caught sporting fake driver's license...

Ibang iba na talaga values ng tao ngayon. 180 degrees na

I was browsing FB and saw a video about a 34 yr old that FAILED THE NURSING BOARD 7 TIMES so I asked my Mom diba you can only fail the board X number of times. My Mom said she thinks thrice then you need a refresher.

I told my Mom I will never want that woman as a nurse, baka lalo pa ko mamatay. She asked me how I knew and I said it's on FB. My Mom said, why did she have to announce something so embarrassing and said no wonder she failed the board 7 times LOL!!!!OMG My Mom is so savage! hahaha!

But seriously, I get my Mom. Growing up we had family meetings (love how my parents are a mix of conservative and liberal) My Mom always said whatever problems we have, to keep it WITHIN THE FAMILY. Ang kasiraan ng isa sa amin, kasiraan ng lahat. That stuck to me. I know my parents had differences, their marriage was not perfect but my Mom NEVER said anything negative about my Dad even to my Lola and Aunts. Sarap pakinggan when my maternal Lola says my Dad is the son she never had (all girls anak niya) Samantalang mga babae ngayon, nauuna pa siraan asawa nila - hello Tulfo! Kuya and I used to tease Mom she hit the jackpot with Dad, but now that I am older, I see that my Dad was just as lucky

She pursued nursing(4yrs din). I guess she really wanted that RN. Maybe she lacks abit of examination aptitude. maybe she's ok with practical side like needle insertion sana tama ang needle gauge lol.

Nakakatakot pa rin. 7 times is way too much. I know at least 3 people who failed the bar exams and didn't pursue law anymore (One of them at least twice) A mistake won't cause a life like a nurse can. Inabot na siya ng 34 yrs old trying to pass the exams. My Mom told me nung unang panahon hindi daw nagi iv insertion ang nurse, dapat doctor. I think now nurses do na?
