Yesterday was one of those rare days where I got to do something for the whole shift. And it was to bag and monitor a pre-term baby. It was very hard to see the expression of the family as they saw their tiny baby fighting for her life. What's even harder is to hear that the attending physician not telling them the whole truth just because they dont have the means to afford the necessary procedures and equipments to give that baby a chance. I know it will just be a slim chance but he shouldn't have told the family that we didn't have any incubator just because he knew that they couldn't afford it. It was just sad to think that a person who swore that they would save lives would trade money over life.

Hmm... Isn't it that physicians, prior to actual practice, take the Hippocratic Oath which states in one of its lines that they vow "to keep the good of the patient as the highest priority"?
It's saddening that the institution has the capacity to save a life, and yet denied to provide it for reasons such as money, or the lack thereof.
This is based on my understanding of what you wrote.
yeah it really is saddening. It's not really the institution who denied it from them but the attending physician of the said baby just because they lack the ka-chings.
But the physician is a representative of the institution. Hence...
well yeah pero hindi naman ibig sabihin nun na yun na yung policy ng isang institusyon diba... i mean individual pa rin naman yung doktor kahit na nakakabit ang name ng hosp. sa kanya... nyahaha gets mo??
That's the thing. Nakakabit yung name ng hospital sa mga doctors na employed dun. So lahat ng actions nila narereflect sa image nung institution.
I-fire mo na nga yang doctor na yan. Hahaha. Or better yet, sponsor-an na natin yung beybi. Hihi. RK ka naman.
hahaha anung ako... ahemahem volunteer lang ako remember... atsaka namatay na rin sya the day after. sadness
