Old Filipino people are beyond salvation-says who?

Dear mouse,
Sometimes, I lose my cool because there are just a lot of people who do not think before they blurt out some inane remarks which expose their stupidity.

Take for example one who argued with me that there is just enough cash in the financial system and the only problem is liquidity HELLO HELLO. He then added that the people’s loss of trust to the GMA government is a reason for holding this cash. One seconded the motion that the solution is to oust Gloria M. HELLO EARTH. Why are there Martians in my planet?

Little this commenter realize that liquidity refers to cash and non-cash assets that are convertible into cash within the normal operating cycle of the business? It’s presence mean there is no liquidity problem. And the reason why the governments of the different nations US included infuse cash because there is no CASH in the banking system.

To oust Gloria for a financial meltdown caused by deregulation, greed and corruption in the US is really stupid. Rolleyes. I could fault her for releasing Teehankee (who murdered two teeners and was serving to life terms )and other high profile prisoners. But to blame her for the subprime mortgage crisis, phuleasee, use your brain.

Then comes another young blogger who blames the education system for almost all the ills in the Filipino society so that in his latest blog, he is insulting those who graduated from the education system which he feels is dysfunctional where he is also a product. Ergo, he is also dysfunctional.

He wrote:

For education to work out and provide the new generation with greater opportunities for economic mobility, we have to swallow the bitter pill that the older generation is beyond salvation.

I should cry and many people in the generation where he said he does not belong are pitiful. We are beyond salvation. We are doomed. Whaaaa.

He is 23. I am over 23 so I belong to the older generation. Although he insulted me by saying I am already 80…hahahaha, my picture in the catlinks page would shame him.

So what he is saying about Philippine General Hospital?

1. Medical representatives unwittingly help patients when they give doctors free drug samples. These colorfully packed brochures with one or two tablets eventually find their way to the bedsides of needy patients.

Someone has to tell this runny nose kid that samples are meant to be given away to patients needy or not. Since they were given to medical staff in the PGH where patients generally are in the low income bracket, these medical representatives are not stupid like him to realize that these will end up to these patients. And what is wrong with that, may I ask. Sometimes I am forced to think that he hates the poor. These samples are charged to the pharmaceutical companies’ sales and promo accounts which may be only a fraction of the business generated from a goverment agency and medical practitioners who may prescribe these drugs to their patients.

He said that this is encouraging mendicancy. MY FOOT.

2. Though I am very much sympathetic to the needs of patients, I just don’t think it’s right for the government to allocate that much money for the care of a patient with an unfavorable prognosis.

So I wrote. When the budget is allocated, it does not specify that the care for patients with unfavorable prognosis portion should be given more funding. Stupid, stupid.

The hospital admits the patients and gives medical care as long its facilities can warrant.
Am I wrong when I assumed that he wanted these patients denied of admission because the funds of the hospital would be wasted?

Am I wrong to assume that what he is short to saying, dig a pit for a common grave of these dying. Anyway, the medical treatment would be useless.

He is a medical student and I shudder to think what kind of doctor he will become. Sus.

3. Doctors in PGH double as social workers and philanthropists in an effort to maintain the best possible standard of care in the face of really trying financial dilemmas.

Most doctors and nurses are graduates/interns of UP college of Medicine and UP college of Nursing. My sister graduated from the college of nursing.

They are ISKOLAR ng bayan. They are able to finish an otherwise very expensive education if they have taken the courses in private universities.

A few thousand is only a small fraction of the savings they got from almost free education the university has provided them.

For many, it is not philanthropy. It is just sharing their blessings to those who have less in life.

This arrogant blogger has not even started his life as a doctor. He is just a medical student and yet he is already whining…complaining about the poor getting much medical care. Sheesh.
