US EMT & HOSPITAL VS Philippine EMT & HOSPITAL

I just want to compare and contrast the hospitals between the US and PI

Now let's have some points in Philippine hospitals
1. The equipment used can meet up to International standards for some hospitals.
2. Some of the nurses are hospitable and some are discriminating base on the bread you have in your pocket.
3. In the ER for some hospitals, you must make a payment first before they can treat you.
4. Some Doctors require instantaneous fees even though they only saw the patient ONCE.
5. Before the EMTS arrived, the patient is already dead. Some would even have the nerve to steal the belongings of the patient, or sexual harass them too.
6. I am very proud for some of our doctors, helping out those in need in the farther places for medical missions.
7. Some doctors explain the sickness or medicine needed by the patients in lay man's terms.
8. Other doctors are opportunists, instead of giving the free medicine that was supplied to them, they would sell them to he patients.
9.Some health aids in our country yearly changes their health coverage.
10.If you were brought to a high class hospital (i.e) The Medical City, I see that they have superb ER services as well as room services. Although it is too pricey, the patient services are exquisite.
11. If you are being treated in a public hospital (I will not say the name), the sanitation is questionable. (Would you ask your patient to pee on the bed when the patient is asking for a bed pan?)
12. Although Sta. Teresita Hospital is not that swanky looking, I give praise to my nieces' Doctor. She was there and being helpful. I still give kudos to this hospital =)
13.If you wanted to eat something while in the ER, YOU NEED TO BUY YOUR OWN FOOD. WITH CHARGE.
14.When discharging a patient with health insurance, it takes them 6-7 hours before discharging them even though the doctor gave them a heads up for release.
15. It is only in the Philippines, there was a lady, who was less fortunate ,who gave birth at a said hospital. Since her husband can only pay a little, the hospital would not let the mother and baby go home. Thus making the hospital bill even more expensive due to their stay there.

US EMT & HOSPITAL
1. EMTs here are very fast, there is police correspondence as well.
2. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR THEM, they will refer you to a charity aid or medic aid to help pay for the bills. They will treat you first before you pay.
3. They make sure that before you leave the hospital is that you are in good condition.
4.Sanitation is a must as well as patient care services.
5. Although there is a language barrier, they try to know where the pain is and what.
6. They inform you of your rights and other things that you needed to know while being treated. (like the right for information regarding the results of your test)
7.If you tell your doctor that you don't have the money to buy your medicine. some doctors will give you medicines good for a month or so.
8.Some doctors here are very warm and friendly. Some don't boast so much arrogance. Every one is equal in their eyes.
9.When the patient asks for a coffee or crackers or fruit etc., they would provide you of it. Free of charge.
10. For discharges of patients under health insurance or medic aid, it only takes you 1hour or 2 before discharge.

I know that our mother country can do so much better than this. They don't need to blame about the low funds and such, but I do hope that they make an effort to help out those who are in dire need. For example, dialysis is such an expensive treatment that most people who can not afford the treatment gets worst. It is such a pain to see those things.

There should be some reformation made both to our public & private hospitals. Although this wish is just a wish. This seems too unrealistic to happen...

sigh, last month lang na confine sa hosp ang son ko for 4 days and ask me what...?

hospital bill for a very small ugly room without AC, fridge and extra sofa atleast...

shocked me 50 tawsan pesos baaaah to think na mader ko pa pala ang bumili ng mga gamot nya sa labas at isang beses lang nila nakita yung doktor na nagtanong kung anung pakiramdam nung bata.

naaah, just semi private hosp, e di talak ever ako at tinawagan ko din yung bestfrend kong talakera ever at nagtatalak sa hospital and finally sabi ng sistera at madera ko 10 taw nalang ang binayaran nila,
e the last time maconfine yung son ko sa private hosp na my AC, fridge, sofa at extra bed for bwisitors e 30taw lang for a week na yun kanila pa yung ibang gamot at ang doktor at mayat maya ang silip.
may mga matitino pero mas marami mga mapagsamantala pag dika kumibo lalo pat tahimik ang mader kot ayaw palagi ng gulo e duduguin ka sa presyo nila.

correct!

yung ibang hospitals are very oportunists.. tsk tsk tsk

that's why sometimes, our medical care are being questioned.

Unknown said...

that is a bit frustrating isn't it?! While most of the amazing doctors here in the US are Filipino's and Asian Indian.

Ok, here's a true experience. I forgot the name of this hospital but this is along Ortigas Av, year 2006 (not sure) or 2007. I go home every year that's why.

My niece was pregnant at nakunan. Asawa nya was out of work and wa din work and pangkin ko. So, they went to this hospital and I was late because I was somewhere else. By the time i go there, I was told by the husband that they wanted to if they could pay before they admit her. I didn't know that! Hahaha! I have to run to the bank, get some cash, the husband borrowed money and then armed with cash we showed the cash. Of course, when I went back at the house that was the story. For me, it was a BIG story - but everyone were just laughing at me like it was normal or something?! I said, what the hell was wrong?! Hahaha

ELLUMBRA!!! You are such an ass wipe matha fuckin idiot! Your bitterness is blinding your judgement about people as well why be such a fucking freak and could not stand comments that would be thrown upon your fucking face (if you have one).... Stop visiting my blog or even trying to add me as your friend because I will not be a friend to an idiot who fantasizes about young asian woman.... I don't fall in any of this category you pervert... stick your dingdong in a canister ok!!!! peace out matha fucker

Reezen TOT said...

to ellumbra,

As much as I want to make a long reply to your useless comment, I dare not to so that I would not get infected by your disease. Other than that your comment is way off course my topic.

YOU are the bigot here ellumbra.

You are the one who is sick, twisted, full of jealousy and contempt. Not me.

I have already read your side regarding the issue and that's the reason why I posted the comment on Reyn's site. It is out of pure HONESTY AND OPINION. If I were to post my comment on your site, it would be useless as it would be the one comment different from your so called patrons.

Who ever gave you the right to make me sway my comments? You are not the boss of me bastard. I make my own opinions as well as you do and Reyns as well. Do you think by doing this will make me retract what I said? No it will not. I have made a decision

It just showed the hate you have there. That's what I understand in your RACIST BLOG. It is true though for the Scams that some selfless Filipinas do to some D.O.M's and I think it is right so that some of you D.O.M's and D.O.B's learn a thing or 2 to respect Asian, wait WOMEN IN GENERAL. Wrong which is self explanatory.

As you can see, I posted your comment even though your comment is way off course the blog that I made.

You would be and always be a DIRTY OLD BASTARD!

ciao DOB...

BTW: I DON'T NEED RACISTS IN MY SITE..

Unknown said...

@ MissPinkBiik - you only have to compare the language used in our two comments to realise who is really the bitter one.
@ Reezen TOT - the same really, look at the language you have used. Do you honestly think that you can compare me to all those dirty sex tourists?Can you really imagine that I would pursue this for so long out of such a low motive? Come on - think again. Are you so naive, so pedantic in your all consuming contempt, that you cannot see past your own bigotry?
Just look at what you have written - it says it all.

Unknown said...

to ellumbrata: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... you are a fool! My foul mouth can't be stop to disgusting idiotic, moronic, pathetic people like you! me? bitter? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Reezen TOT said...

HAHAHAHA you are such a dirty bastard...

Why are you pushing yourself so much? Nobody wants you here in my site..

Why keep on pushing that Reyn's is wrong and why push me to change my opinion?! IT's my opinion and I don't give a damn about you. Why are you preventing me form saying what I want. It's my opinion and my right.

Anonymous said...

Ignore the bastard guys. FYI, he's been the subject of ridicule of the FV guys since he dared posted here.

We were discussing on whether to ban him or not. Unanimous decision was to ignore him. So, better ignore him too. Block his mybloglog, block his facebook, block his friendster, block his multiply, block everything.

Let him die.

anonymark said...

http://www.markbravo.net/ this happened a few days ago. Personally, I have a few bad medical related experiences and I have to agree with you Reezen TOT.
@rocky sometimes the health care professionals here are willing but the lack of equipment hinders them from giving the appropriate care. The defense department gets more money from the budget than the health and education department.

anonymark said...

@ellumbra please stop the flaming sir I beg of you

Ellumbra said...

@ Reezen TOT - I apologise if you misunderstood my first comment, carefully phrased as a rhetorical question - it was giving you the choice to answer (in your own mind - yes or no - are you no better than Reyna Elena?)
Things can be said in the heat of the moment, knee-jerk reactions, that let us all down.
This is not about personalities, it certainly isn't racist (although for some reason you are all being very defensive about this, as if it were about you, personally - which it isn't - simply about a few, contemptuous people who originally tried the scam, and a few more who try to deny it & cover it up.)
But you will never see the truth if you view it through the steam and the bubbles of your own anger.
So - this is not flaming - but the contrary - pouring water over flames that are already well alight - because of the incitement of people like Jepoy.
I challenge you to come up with one racist statement from my story - ignoring the contempt that I pour upon the criminals and their supporters - see if you can find one. I will remove it if you do.
Also - see if you can come up with any evidence (other than your own imagination, your own presumptions) that I am a DOB or DOM.
Far from it - I had a dream - I was encouraged in that dream - and I was cheated - simple as that.
Merry Christmas

Ellumbra said...

@ Jepoy - please point me towards the evidence of that ridicule - I see none. Far from discussing whether to ban me, it was merely something that Reyna Elena wrote in one of his comments - hoping that they would ban my IP address, but they didn't take hime seriously because his motives are perfectly transparent - as are yours Jepoy.
You are full of hatred - just look at your language - it's you that need to get over this, Jepoy - realise that you have been well and truly trumped in your distorted plans.
Because, quite simply, you cannot cheat an honest man.

reyna elena's analysis of ellumbra's diary is the most comprehensive one. it details the Filipino hospitality that Ellumbra do not understand and refuse to understand.

honestly, there is no use challenging ellumbra. he's got a twisted mind. he should go back to school and study Filipino hospitality. but i doubt if he will even understand that. poor pathetic guy.

this alone that reyna wrote: http://reynaelena.com/2008/04/24/was-there-a-scam-the-motive/

One cannot claim to be morally right when he is a willing partner of an immoral act.

*There was no question that Tim was an unfaithful husband. A loving husband does not frequent dating sites, period. Even if we assume that Tim was a morally right person, I am positively sure that he’s not looking for company in these dating sites to join him in reciting the holy rosary with him; rather he’s looking for sex.
*In all of his trips to the Philippines, it’s all about moneychangers. In other words, either he has no credit card or he did not use them. Why? He does not want his wife to trace anything about this trip. Remember the absolute secrecy?


*In Day 3, when Mayen told him that she wanted to sleep with him, he could have told her “No” and wait until they were a married couple before engaging in an immoral sexual act.

*In Day 16, when Mayen’s mother did not complain about the fact that they were sleeping in one bed, he could have said “No”; instead, he was very excited to “make babies”.

*All these of these instances does not define a morally right person.

@ellumbra - of course asswipe you won't see them. It's a private plurk. READ. PRIVATE. But if you insist, here.

You thought Reyna Elena was ignored? Naaah.. we were all laughing at you, yes you. Old geezer. Btw, if you're looking for my comments they're way below the plurk. That plurk is 119 long and I'm lazy to copy all of them. But, that screenshot is the gist. Get the picture? They don't like you. WE DON'T LIKE YOU.

Racists comments? How about,

This statement is located in your blog, thus this makes it part of your story. Try that on a black guy or our Muslim friends. Or maybe on Pakistan perhaps? PWNED.

Seriously, you keep on saying we can't get over this, that we're full of hatred, we're desperate spreading links, etc. but who's the one doing the stalking, posting on different blogs about this crap, messaging people who commented on Filipina Images on email, flickr, etc. months after it has been posted, adding us on mybloglog and facebook, etc?

IT IS YOU!

Need I list them again? Clickie:

Oh please Santa Claus, grant my request this Christmas. Let Tim Cumper die of cholera, it's a poorman's disease and he's poor after all. Poor in terms of money, friends and brain cells. Please Santa?
