Dear Patients, Smokers, Chewing-Gum Lovers, Smokers-who-chew-gums-while-smoking and theorist,
Just got back!
I stayed with my friends who are mostly medical office assistants and medical office managers. We played board games (Scrabbles and Sceneit) for hours immediately after eating the chinese adobo. That is what they call the regular adobo with eggs.
Every after few minutes, we agreed to [...]

Ipinaskil ni: Chico noong: Hulyo 10, 2007
Dear Patients & Vic,
We have another question from one of our readers. In his comment (yes it is you Vic), he said:
What I noticed mostly is the advice of not drinking grapefruit juice while taking statin or some BP lowering medication, why is that?
His (your) question is similar to the one asked to MayoClinic. [...]

Dear Patients, Feminists, and Female Group Member
Bago ang lahat, hayaan correction muna ng misconception. Pati ang lalake ay kinakapikan din ng breast cancer. Hindi man kasinlaki ng suso natin ang suso ng mga babae, maari din tayong magkabreast cancer!
Noong ako ay bata, madalas kong makita sa telebisyon ang public service na “sariling salat sa suso”. [...]

Dear Allied Health Professionals,
Para sa mga katulad kong (nating) nasa “allied health” profession, isang rekwisito (requisite) o nakapaimportanteng bagay ang matutong makipag-usap. Marahil sa ibang tao ang pakikipag-usap ay nangangahulugan lamang ng pagbukas ng bibig upang ipabatid ang nais nilang sabihin. Gayumpaman, sa nursing, medical assisting and even care-giving, ang pakikipag-usap (communication) ay maaring [...]

How to do Testicular Self-Exam (with video)
Ipinaskil ni: Chico noong: Hunyo 14, 2007
Dear Patient,
Yesterday, I shared my experience as a patient. Just to give a brief review, I had testicular ultrasound (US), urinalysis (UA) and bloodwork (BW). One thing I failed to mention was my brief testicular self-examination (TSE) days before my scheduled appointment. It was through this simple and non-invasive examination that I felt some discomfort [...]
