How I Escaped Rheumatic Heart Disease

While I was reading this article (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/124461/ph-teener-off-to-sudan-for-life-saving-surgery), it dawned to me that what is happening to this teenage boy could have happened to me as well.  In my case though, I was lucky that I had an alert pediatrician, I think her name was Dra. Pe, who noticed that my monthly tonsillitis could have complications later on in my adult life - like the rheumatic heart condition this boy has.  Grabe noh, if not treated, he could be dead at 20!  In his case naman, strep throat.

Dra. Pe  recommended to Mama that I take monthly Penadur injections when I was 13 years old, kasi monthly ako na-oospital due to tonsillitis, and this could have complications on my heart in the future.  I continued having the injections till I was 21 years old - so from the ACMDC hospital in Lutopan, Cebu to the Southern Islands Hospital in Cebu City to the UP Infirmary in Diliman, I had my monthly injections talaga, on schedule.  I never missed one injection.  

Masakit actually ang injection kasi mahirap daw malusaw ang Penadur so I always demanded that the most experienced nurse inject me, a.k.a., dapat senior mommy nurse na - kasi na-notice ko, pagbata na nurse, ayun, reckless and careless, so ilang beses pa ako tinutusok bago success.  Senior and experienced nurses though were more patient and careful.  Sayang nga, I don't remember the name of nurses who took care of me monthly.  All I know is that they were friends ni Mama who were her contemporaries na rin.  

God bless them all, including Dra. Pe, wherever they may be right now!

PH, Japan agree to exchange defense materiel

PH, Japan agree to exchange defense materiel


With China starting to make arrogant remarks about how they should control most of the sea lanes around their country, it is about time, we also ask the help of our neighboring countries.  All this talks of aggression may be just hot air but we can not be too sure!  I don't like the idea of war when we've had peace all my life. I also think it's not in China's interest to be an aggressor considering that it will lose so much if their country goes to war.

Filipino health workers push back, accuse UK tabloid of racism

Filipino health workers push back, accuse UK tabloid of racism


Anyway you look at it, racism is really ugly so we always have to be vigilant to ensure that nobody judges as just because of our heritage!  Although the person jailed here is of Filipino heritage, he is already a UK citizen so to blatantly still label him as Filipino is misleading and unfair - especially that many of the Filipino nurses working in the UK are doing their best to be careful and caring with their patients.
