The Plight of Health Professionals

Tuesday, October 18, 2011


There are thousands of health professionals in our country that go out and spend most of their career in the United Kingdom, EU, the Middle East, Asia Pacific or North American regions. The standards of our health workers are quite high and have been regarded as the best in the industry. The continued evolution of our educational system and health specific trainings are lagging behind more advanced countries. It's but right that we do something about it so we can still manage to attain the high standards the recipients need for their health care. What's great is that this is available in the UK and a medical management course is perfect for those who want to further advance their studies in this field. It's also one of the great things they can do while practicing their profession. They can do this on the side without sacrificing work related matters because they can get the courses that are apt for them. Doctors for example can get a medical teaching course in order to pursue doing this in universities. This would hasten them to have a career in educating future nurses, medical technologists, doctors or medical workers.

It's so nice to see that we are making a mark in the United Kingdom and nearby countries. I love it when most managers treat Filipino workers twice as efficient as their regular counterparts. Later on in their careers, they can probably just get a consultant interview course and have a managerial post rather than spend too much time in operations. It's like any job; it's giving them what they worked for. If they go back to the Philippines maybe they can teach the new generation of health workers and do the same thing. They learn now then impart what they have learned to generations of health professionals later on. If we get some teach the teacher course in the future we would make this noble task viable to anyone who wishes to be a doctor someday. Do you have relatives who work in the UK health industry? Did they get more courses when they arrived there? What made them different from other professionals who didn't study further? Let me know!

Wishful Thinking

Thursday, March 31, 2011


I wanted to pursue a medical career when I was a kid but I always ended up in the wrong side of the story because I was always hospitalized. I get sick most of the time and that turned out to be one of the signs that I was destined to be a Computer Engineer. I was happy to say the least but almost all my cousins are nurses. I'm the only one based in the Philippines and they ended up in Canada, US or Australia. I wanted to wear nursing uniforms even before puberty because I wanted to end up practicing medicine professionally. That's how obnoxious I was even before the thought dissipated in college. That would have been neat to see me in white. I still like daydreaming about people calling me Doctor Ha-ha!

Today, seeing my cousins having families of their own and an illustrious career out of it I sit and wonder what could have happened if I pursued it?! I may have been one of the most successful pediatrician or neurological doctors that the Philippines have produced. I always end up buying them cheap scrubs for Christmas but they never knew I was thinking of wearing one too. I did that a couple of years ago when there was a fad wearing them just for kicks. I secretly wished to wear them all just for fashion purposes but deep inside it was clinging on to me. I wish there was some way I could have time to learn another course and get a medical degree. I would like to help a lot of people and be like some of my successful relatives who have money to spend and still have time of their family. I want to see myself wear nursing scrubs not just for kicks, but live life with a purpose. Wouldn't anyone want that?! =)

Great Independent Living!

Friday, September 03, 2010


Taking care for the elderly in our part of the world is quite a cultural experience. We have very high respect and love for our extended families and we keep it a point to take care of them as they age. I also know how important it is for our children to reconnect with their grandparents and we never limit the amount of interaction. The thing that makes things like these memorable is the whole experience. I think it is quite the same for our relatives in the US. There are some slight differences but weather they decide to get Independent Living San Antonio Texas or elsewhere, we still make it a point that the family connection never ceases. It is important and there are institutions that would be able to provide the preferred living style they choose, after all they deserve to be respected the same.

Would you ever consider living alone and worry free?! I'm sure you would love to have less stress and work in your daily lives. Rest is important in your golden years and if that decision were up to me; I would gladly go alone and independent. I want to have freedom that I deserve. Maybe if there would be something that I would like my Grandparents and Parents to have; it is one that would be able to get things easier for them. The last thing I want is to make them worry about it. Wouldn't that be a nice idea to get your folks involved in?! It's just like a great vacation!
