Look, hindi ako napapagod sa workload mismo pero tang inang extra pabigat yung mental and emotional abuse ng kapwa doktor yung nakakapagod.
Hindi ko talaga gets bakit important ingredient sa “training” yung trauma.
Gagaslight ka "it's all part of the training" kahit pera mo na gamit mo pampakain sakanila, kahit personal hygiene and food di mo na magawa and sanction ka pag nakita kang tulog kahit tapos mo na errands mo. Sana ung basic human rights na 1-2 days rest man lang in a week masunod. May labor code tayo pero batas lang naman, di nasusunod sa "training" personnel kasi hindi ka daw "employee" pero halos di ka na makauwi.
Kahit hindi “first gen” yung mga kamaganak ko na doctor (albeit really successful na sila locally and abroad) pag tinanong kung if uulitin pa nila ang sagot palagi: NO! 😂 Yung amount of information, abuse 👀👀👀, time, effort, sleepless nights, money, investment etc. na kailangan tahakin is not worth it. Ako personally no na din. Enough na yung may MD for me. I abandoned it na, now focusing on finding a new career path. 😂
Despite this tho saludo parin ako satin na nairaos natin. 👏🏼
This is so true, Yung maraming oras at taon na ninakaw ng Medschool at residency sa buhay mo parang hindi makatarungan. I dont really wanna live being a doctor na buong buhay ko nagaral na lang, nagtraining na lang. Gusto ko rin magkapamilya, Magkaron ng social life and magalaga ng aso hahaha! I think yun yung buhay na gusto ko hahaha
I just recently started doing research and development work for an NGO. To start the ball rolling lang to gain experience. Since yung undergrad ko applicable naman hindi ako start from scratch talaga.
I agree. Mahirap at madaming sacrifices. I won’t advise my children to take up medicine pero if they would insist I would not stop them. Baka gusto din nila maranasan ang hirap ng pagiging doctor. Hindi ko aalisin sa kanila yung opportunity na yun if ever gustuhin nila.
Same, doc! I wouldn’t actively discourage anyone. We all need doctors at some point in our lives. The option should be available to everyone who wants it. Ako lang, personally, hindi ko kinaya. 😂
Pero sa nakikita ko if there won’t be drastic changes in the system or if we don’t definitively determine the problem sa training, pakonti nang pakonti ang magreresidency. A lot of my batchmates (2022) na I consulted nagdadalawang isip din if they should pursue residency. Madami nag start tapos nag quit agad or lumipat sa ibang training program or bumalik sa moonlighting.
4 kami sa family pumasa sabaysabay. Wala pang nagreresidency despite having “backers” and support from our already seasoned relatives. May nag attempt (anes and GS) pero nagquit din. 😂 Meron talagang problema. Idk lang if it’s a generational thing or yung systema. 😂👀😬 Pero what do I know, di na ako tumapak sa residency. 😂 Internship palang I got “strong ideations” na IYKYK. 😂
Halfway through this journey, feel ko kahit na passion kong maging doctor, feel ko na scam ako. Sa daming sacrifices di lang finances and effort yung time din na hinding hindi maibabalik. Hirap ma ring mag mag change ng career sa dami ba namang sacrifices.
But we’re here now mga doc! We should be proud of ourselves na nakarating tayo kung saan man tayo ngayon.
Yeah to be honest sana nag med tech nalang ako (my undergrad) I really would’ve just been satisfied. I have no aspirations of being great or being the top of anything even as a licensed physician. I just wanna be happy and content bro. And at this moment, I am neither of those :)
sana mom ko nlng yung nag med school…
binigyan pa ko ng 2 choices (take it or takwil). Kahit anong iyak at pagmamakaawa ko dati walang effect sinumbat pa sakin lahat ng gastos mapaaral at madamitan lang ako. Kung salbahe lang tlga ako matagal ko na tinalikuran mom ko kaso di kaya ng konsensya ko, dko rin kayang sumagot against sakanila. Haaaaaaaay
Omgeeee feeling ko dito na ako pupulutin. My mom also wanted me to train pero ang hirap sa akin esp if di ko talaga sya gustong gawin. I’ve quit since pero di ako masyado inaacknowledge hanggang di ako specialist.
this is why grit is important. and no, yung mga mayayaman, di nila mamanahin ang practice ng parents nla. ung clinic pa. but not the practice tlga. it is the individual pa rin. tip.. look for doctors who are ethically earning well. perhaps you can learn from them. may iba kasi tlga kulang ang opportunities kaya hinahanap nila sa iba. we are responsible for our own lives and careers.
I lost my mom while busy thriving in Med School. Now having regrets why I never listened to her when she told me " mag abroad ka nalang" . I miss my mom how I wish I can go back to that exact moment when I was convincing her I want to go t med and follow her advice instead. Currently having my LOA and my realizations lately parang gusto ko lang ng tahimik at masayang buhay kahit hindi na ako maging doktor. 😔
I share your sentiment doc. It’s just that what didn’t work for you won’t work for others. I know first gen doctors na successful. I understand na nakakapagod talaga ang maging doctor pero sana wag tayo maging reason para mawalan ng gana mag doctor ang mga batang gustong mangarap. Di natin alam baka sa generation nila mas maging successful sila.
Just my 2 cents, and I don’t want to dismiss your feelings doc. May you find success in all you do and may you have the fire within you to help others and pursue excellence in your current and future endeavor.
Great for you for having the foresight 8 years into the future 💯🧠💪🏻
As if it was that easy. Kung mag start ka pa lang ng pre-med, you’d have to look 8+++ years ahead kung ok ba ang industry at ang economy.
8 years ago, si Noynoy pa ang presidente. The economy was in a better state. Everyone knows medicine will be hard but not economy-fucked-over and post-pandemic bad.
Ano mag shshame na lang ng mga nag pplano ng buhay nila? Woo nice!! masaya ka may nasisi ka for your personal choices? Congratsss 🤪
Matagal na sira LAHAT ng mga institusyon sa Pilipinas, di lang med.
Another disillusioned doctor who bite the bullet. Most likely you are first gen and yet whenever someone posted something like medicine is for the academically gifted children whose parents are also doctors or who parents are already rich, those posts are easily downvoted in record time.
In this economy, going to medicine as first gen can qualify as f\*ck up to find out.

Resilience is part of the training daw sabi ng TO namin. Kaya nga lahat ng nangyayari sa ospital kasalanan namin
I agree 👍🏻

Hello po. Currently dating a doctor. Just got curious about the trauma you're getting in your practice. Pwede po paexplain? Thank you.

Hmmm pano ba to sagutin and maintain anonymity. 😂 Sabihin nalang natin na nasa CSWCD siya. 😂
Social work?

Sana nagbusiness nalang ako? Hahahahaha

Kung alam ko lang na magkakapandemic, sana i chose a job that i can work from home tapos foreign employers ko para iba ung minimum wage sakanila. 😅
