Ah yes, the “witch hunt” that comes when one does not think like the majority. 😅 *sigh* #OfficePolitics

T2. Personally, we need to bolster the confidence of the staff and empower them to share their experiences by acknowledging and validating them. This cannot work in a authoritarian leadership. Jobs are hard to come by in this economy, so people can get tight-lipped. #healthxph

T2. two settings: In a group, there should be an avenue to say things anonymously, like in an online bulletin board or an open forum. Oftentimes, it can fairly common to have ideas or comments shot down because someone in the group opposes the contributor, impeding real honest feedback. #healthxph

T1. Talk travels fast, and if your ideas are dissenting, or controversial, people might peg you to be a nuisance or menace, rather than an agent of change (for the better). I wouldn’t want to be misconstrued as an irreverent or disrespectful person because of ideas. #healthxph

Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrinewitch.bsky.social · 5d

Let’s go to T1. Feel free to jump into the convo anytime! #healthxph

This is a very interesting article on #Autism, and on four types. For more awareness, we need to educate ourselves on this.

Four Distinct Autism Subtypes Identified

The findings from more than 5000 children with autism spectrum disorder could pave the way for precision diagnosis and care, researchers say.

T3. Housing and book allowance, as well as easier access to training institutions, and training programs abroad, to facilitate learning. #healthxph

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 19d

Let us move on to T3. Aside from legislation (we have the Doktor para sa Bayan Act), what other kind of support do you think the "doktor para sa bayan" would need? #healthXPH

Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social · 19d

correction: not necessary. #healthxph

Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social · 19d

T2. I always believed that when you choose this path, you really have to be extra dedicated. In an environment where specialization is a norm, individuals who want to serve probably had a positive experience when they were rotating, so I think pre-graduation training change is not good. #healthxph

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 19d

considering that "doktor para sa bayan" are doctors of the people, they should develop the skills to communicate well in a language that patients understand. #healthXPH

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 19d

Let's move to T2. How should these "doktor para sa bayan" be trained differently from other medical students? #HealthXPH

Where a lot of medical school graduates go abroad to practice, how do we train these doctors to serve the country?

Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social · 19d

In my home province, they have a scholarship for medical students where they study for four years, and render service for four years. #healthxph

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 19d

Yes, I agree.

These are passionate and nationalistic doctors who hope to serve their communities, reaching geographically isolated areas in the country. #healthXPH

Each region should have a medical school offering medical scholarships for "doktor para sa bayan".

Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social · 19d

T1. I'd say they were very dedicated individuals who commit their time and years to achieve very noble goals. Very nationalistic leanings. #healthxph

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 19d

let's start with T1. #HealthXPH

What attributes do you expect a "doktor para sa bayan" to have and how do they manifest these characteristics?

We all once believe physicians are superhumans, and they are not , or shouldn't be affected by the unhealthy practices that we advice our patients against. #healthxph

Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social · 26d

T1. I can attest to this for sure... when I was active, and well-rounded and socializing (and engaging in many hobbies), I was happier and more energetic with work. When I decided to devote all my time to patient care, I got sick more often, and paradoxically, missed more days of work. #healthxph

First, Physician wellness education is a must and not just an option. Second, working environment standards must be set. We advised patients against long hours of work, proper nutrition and even sleep or exercise. But our own work environment doesn't seem to allow us. #Healthxph

T3. In my community, the NOMS have different health conscious groups, and they have different health activities on many days of the week. :-) #healthxph

T2. I'm glad you brought up the wellness scale in your article, we use it in the clinics, but not on ourselves, usually for patients. Also, you get feedback from friends and family. Also, the scheduling becomes smoother. #healthxph

I have medium, but I wanted to ask if Substack is a better platform, based on your experience. :-) #healthxph

I realized this. I mean, "sitting is the new smoking", allegedly, and since I do a lot of sitting for the work I do, I've developed a muffin top, and I find it embarrassing, especially if I advocate for better physical health in relation to mental health. #healthxph

T1. Short answer, Yes . Based on more recent formal research and my 20 plus years of experience. The filipino culture is very strong on role modeling though various factors comes into play too. #Healthxph
