i felt a bittersweet feeling na naman when we went to Phil Gen (Philippine General Hospital) last March 23. bumalik na naman lahat ng alaala. haha. but anyways, i am happy where i am now. Let me tell you one's own feeling to the largest hospital in the Philippines - the Philippine General Hospital. actually, to be a nurse, working in Phil Gen is a fulfillment to everyone. it's a different feeling working there. It is not common to everyone that working there isn't really easy. since it is a service to humanity and it is no question that 60-75% of the total population of the Philippines is beyond poverty line, money is a big issue. Phil Gen has 5000 bed capacity and most who are admitted are from poor families. most really doesn't have money to even buy a urine or suction catheter. and instead of renting a mechanical ventilator, may just use a human humidifier - a manual ambubagging to support breathing. and so as a nurse, you have to be resourceful and smart to think of...
