What an unfortunate event, yesterday’s blast. First off, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the family of the casualties, most especially to the family of my student Janine Marcos.

Janine Marcos was one of the first names that was announced as deaths in the recent blast that took the lives of 9 people. Had it been just an accident, it would have been easier to accept. But as investigation progresses, it looks like it’s turning into a terrorist attack. Although some conspiracy theories are coming out saying that this is another ploy of the administration. Either way, who ever did this should be punished, if not, these people will suffer the full wrath that the Lord will bring upon them.

The mutineer Antonio Trillanes for his part made his contribution to the story by lashing out and blaming the administration for this recent tragedy. How can this person grandstand in the middle of the sorrow of the victim’s family. And up til now, I’m still wondering how the people that voted for him feel.

I grieve with Janine’s family and her friends. Up until now, I can’t take my mind of the thought, how her family suffered yesterday as they kept on hearing Janine’s name on the media, but can’t get definite information on the truth of the reports, as they can’t find Janine’s body in any of the hospitals concerned with the rescue. It wasn’t until around 8pm last night that they found her in a small funeral parlor somewhere in Pasay city, her name was mentioned on TV at around 2pm.

During the waiting hours of pain, the students, her classmates, her friends, the staff and faculty of Remedios T. Romualdez Memorial Schools, together with her family, were all in limbo as to where Janine was at that time. We were all holding on to false hopes as long as her body has yet to be found. Each and everyone that knew Janine’s number tried but failed to reach her on her phone.

I would like to mention too, that the classmate and friend that Janine was with 30 seconds before that explosion was Iris Llorca, that Iris is having a hard time, up to this moment, to comprehend what had happened to Janine. That Iris is blaming herself for the incident.

Let us all pray for Janine’s soul that she died not in vain and that she did not suffer during those times. We will miss you Janine.

Looks like, Dr. Preston Burke left Seattle Grace Hospital and his surgical career in exchange to a more exciting job as a mercenary. He is now seen as one of the allies of Jane Sommers in Bionic Woman.

Heard of it? Well it’s in the news. I could have taken it “with a grain of salt” according to a colleague, but I guess I won’t.

I am a Doctor and a Graduate of FEU-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation and I am proud of it. I have read lots of reaction from forums (local) and I am insulted by the fact that non-doctors are reacting in a cold way.

I may not be a “big deal” locally, but how about those working in the US? How will they feel with this latest racial slur. I don’t agree to take this sitting down, I have to defend my colleagues, who like me, worked their asses off just to graduate and finish med school. It’s easy for non-doctors to say, come on, it’s a joke. But it’s not easy for a doctor to just take it a stride.

The relationship that exists between a patient and a doctor is bounded by trust. There are things that a patient will tell a doctor or there are things that a doctor will ask his/her patient that is beyond “normal” conversations. Heck, there are even information that a patient will not tell his/her family that he/she will tell a doctor. But if this relationship is strained with doubt then, the relationship becomes futile.

Good thing, had we not “whine” then ABC could not have heard that what their writers have done are offensive and racist. Had we just kept quite, their writers will think that they’ve gotten away with something that they can do again next time.

The New Season is here. Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, CSI, CSI New York, The Unit, Smallville…OMG, I will be stuck in my computer for most of the time watching the new episodes. And the more I can convince the wifey to get that flat panel TV for christmas! HD here I come!
