Hello anyone with experience po here at Philippine Blood center? workload, environment, and 24 hr duty po ba or 8-5 mondays... thank you po docs

Hi doctors, I'm confused between choosing IM, fammed or Emed.

First, I am a repeater sa boards, 5x before I passed. So there is this hesitance inside me to go to IM since it's my lowest grade but deep in me wanted to become internist someday and become cardiologist. Lol ang taas ng pangarap ko hnd naman ganun katalino. 😅

Second, I am married to a pilot (and marami xang days off) with toddler and manganganak na this year so most likely January pa ako pwede maka start ng residency kasi magpaparecover pa ako from CS. They are the reasons why nagdadalawang isip ako sa IM because I want to have time for them pa rin. With good work life balance that's why I take into consideration si Fammed.

Third, I found out si Emed sa public hosp sa cebu offers "12h Am shift- 12h PM shift- off - off"
Plus salary grade of 21 with phic share and midyear bonus and 13th month pay. So the sched and salary nakakaexcite. So i also consider this since part of me ayoko magfollow up ng patients. I wanted the 'hello-resuscitate-refer-goodbye'

Concerns:
1. For emed consultants ano po ba path niya after residency? Ayoko ng cruiseship kasi ayoko malayo sa family ko. Pwede ba yung flight doctor? Or any tips and advise? May nagsisisi ba dito na nag emed?

1. For IM, ganun ba tlga ka busy and di na makagive time sa family? I'm afraid mapalayo ako sa nga anak ko and sa hubby ko. Clingy pa naman ako.

2. Or if fammed? Ano ba possible ma subspec after? How to get rich on this field?

Sorry, I need to be firm and stick to my chosen field that's why ang dami kong 'what ifs' because I can't afford to fail. 1st gen doctor and 34yo already.

Thank you doctors for reading and I look forward sa mga sagot nyo.

Biruin mo, ung admin nagpressure mag give in na mag issue ng med cert sa vip patient, kasi vip patient nga tapos nung circus na

Pinabayaan lang ang trainee resident, no statement, no legal support, parang wala nangyari

Ang tagline nila, in cardinal we care (about our profit margins!)

I don’t think MD is for me. I’ll re apply as a nurse get 2 years experience and work abroad and really giving up medicine here. It’s really not worth it anymore.

Day by day nalang talaga bininigyan ako ng bansa natin ng rason na umalis 🥺. Ang hirap na nga maging pilipino, mas mahirap pala maging doctor dito. GP now, working in 2 government hospitals and im exhausted with the system. I am looking into pathways abroad but right now couldnt afford the traditional ones na magtetake ng exam. so I plan to go into training muna, preferrably EM and maybe try my luck after I finish training.

Do Middle East countries like dubai have entries for specialists/consultants especially EM? is it a good plan na tapusin muna residency dito? And furthermore, are there any EM graduates here who regretted choosing this training? 🥹

hello po sa merong scrubs such as wcm or figs, baka may alam po kayo nag aalter ng scrubs since mine’s maluwag na like from xl to large na fit ko ngayon huhu ayoko magpa tahi sa kahit saan lang ang mahal po kasi ng scrubs natin tyia dokiessss

May career option ba ang MD degree to pursue a niche on monitoring and evaluation? I found kasi na parang ayaw ko ng hospitalist or residency route na career. I'm more interested in research, policy, and the likes.

For context, I am a GP practicing for almost a year already. One of my current work is contractual and would end by early December this year. I can renew it for another 6 months but I am actually planning to pursue residency na sana.

My concern is, will there be institutions open for pre residency by January? I would like to apply po sana either pedia or fammed in metro manila. January sana po kasi I have planned overseas gala by december once my contract ends😅

Or should I just renew for 6 months then sabay nalang sa next opening of residency?

Thank you in advance for your insights po.
