Teachers, students and doctors awake past midnight

I messaged doc Remo that I realized it was already past midnight and we were all still awake, talking about program outcomes for Filipino doctors... He said "teachers and students do that, doctors and perpetually awake..."

Makes sense that I am perpetually Sleepless in Cebu... I spend nights doing paperworks, constructing test questions, writing letters and finishing reports, all in the hope of helping our residents and students improve their grades.


I recently celebrated my 41st birthday and realized that I am not getting any younger.  I am now hypertensive and have gained 20 lbs or so since working here.  I have been working in my hospital for five years now and begin to wonder if the efforts we've taken even made any dent.

Are all the frustrations over politics and popularity worth the reasons why I stay?



The graduation speech of Pete Davis about Netflix infinite browsing mode among millenials comes to mind:

Considering that I teach millenials and batang 90s, we need to be reminded about COMMITMENT. We need to pick a movie and see it through to the end. We need to commit to our profession, our community and to our patients.  We need to commit to making an effort to change the world, to make it a better place for our children to live in.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
