The thousands crossroads we face in our daily lives. Who makes these crossroads? Who serves us the options? Why do we have to face it? What makes us choose the road less traveled? How do we feel about our decisions now? Are we happy about it?

These are some of the questions physicians have dissected, researched and the answers, blogged in The Blog Rounds 3rd ed. Themed “At a crossroad“, the third edition of The Blog Rounds is up at Doc Claire’s blog In the Middle of Nowhere. In this edition, you will see a growing community of Filipino doctors who blogged about their personal and medical life! What they wrote, will actually fill my whole week of reading and pondering!

I am very thankful Doc Claire accepted and run a well thought of third edition of TBR. I am very much excited also of the growing number of Filipino MD blogger who joined TBR! My hat’s off to all of you!

The Blog Rounds is a weekly compilation of the best in Philippine’s medical blogosphere, written by physician bloggers (or the medically inclined bloggers) and hosted on a participating blogger’s weblog. Archives and edition schedules ( plus the host blogger) are listed here. The next edition of TBR will be up this Tuesday, April 8,2008 7am PST and will be hosted by Doc Tess of An Eye Doctor in a Third World Country.

For physicians and medically inclined bloggers interested in joining this blog carnival, please contact me through my email kokegulper[at]yahoo[dot]com or any of the participating TBR bloggers. Guidelines and updates are posted here in my website, The Orthopedic Logbook.

The “holy week” is of special interest to outdoor pilgrims like me not only because of an important Christian tradition it celebrates, but also because of the long vacation time it offers. It give us trekking saints, longer time to troop to our mecca and hit those peaks again! I am one of those outdoor buffs who spent the last two successive Lenten season on top of those mountain ranges.

Ironically, no matter how low profile I keep on what my real job is, I often get questions related to it and mountaineering, a hobby I soon enjoyed.

“How do you physically prepare for this climb Dokie? Is there a way for us to prevent injuries and muscle soreness during and after climbs? Why do some people pass out of exhaustion or get headaches at high altitudes?”

These are the common questions fired at me, by my climbing buddies and often by newfound trekking friends. Read the full post here

According to almost M.D. practitioners and some ob-gyne, the causes of ovarian cysts are products of failed or disordered ovulation. What is ovulation? As we all know sometime in the middle of our menstrual cycle, almost certainly an egg during or between the 12th and 16th days it reaches maturity in one of the two ovaries, released and is quickly sucked up by the tulip-shape opening of the nearness fallopian tube.

The Good About Banana

The expression “going bananas” is from the effects of bananas on the brain that will boost up our energies into something we never expected, which affects our mood. It cools both the physical and emotional temperature to make us relax on climax. Do you know that that exotic banana gives you more than you think of its pleasantness? That is why banana is brilliant for having a “sex a-peel”, which a term I only plagiarized to spice up an attention. Read on:

Grand Rounds 4.10

I’m hosting the 10th edition for the fourth year of Grand Rounds today at my health blog, Prudence, M.D.

What is Grand Rounds, anyway?

Grand Rounds is a weekly rotating blog carnival of the best of the medical blogosphere. Each week, usually on a Tuesday, a blogger will host in his site links to posts of different bloggers about medicine, medical life, experiences with doctors, nurses, and patients, commentaries and reviews about medical news and drugs…actually, anything that is related to medicine and health care.

So, if you’re interested in participating, just check out Grand Rounds later at my health blog, which would be available online today, November 27, 2007, 3:00 p.m. in the Philippines (and that would be about 2:00 - 3:00 a.m. EST).

Time Cover

It’s always fun to read about the Philippines in other countries in a positive light. Even this is just a blip on Time Magazine again.

Studies in the Philippines show that later-born siblings tend to be shorter and weigh less than earlier-borns. (Think the slight advantage the 6-ft. 5-in. [196 cm] Peyton Manning has over the 6-ft. 4-in. [193 cm] Eli doesn’t help when he’s trying to throw over the outstretched arms of a leaping lineman?) Younger siblings are less likely to be vaccinated than older ones, with last-borns getting immunized sometimes at only half the rate of firstborns. Eldest siblings are also disproportionately represented in high-paying professions. Younger siblings, by contrast, are looser cannons, less educated and less strapping, perhaps, but statistically likelier to live the exhilarating life of an artist or a comedian, an adventurer, entrepreneur, GI or firefighter. And middle children? Well, they can be a puzzle—even to researchers.

Face Transplant

I can’t imagine going through Isabelle’s experience — living with a mutilated face for more than two years and then having someone else’s face (a suicide victim) for the rest of her life.

As I mentioned in my September 16 announcement, the posting of entries in Postcard Headlines these days will be very minimal. It’s already time for final examinations and academic requirement deadlines in my college.

There’s been a lot of developments in national politics this week which I have not been able to monitor anymore and which I will try to follow by the time the semester ends. In the meantime, we have the International Bloggers’ Day for Burma tomorrow. (Check it out, check it out!)

But what’s more interesting for most people is this: the TV series Desperate Housewives has been getting the ire of some Pinoys. Frankly though, I don’t think there is enough reason for a collective and frantic supplication of invectives against the show. My sentiment echoes that of the Sassy Lawyer:

Math Model Helps Cure Hepa-C

Hepatitis C VirusAnother excellent breakthrough in the field of science and medicine. A joint research by specialists in University of Haifa(Institute of Evolution) and Indiana University recently discovered a mathematical method that is able to indentify genes that battle against viruses and diseases in our body. Based on a research lead by Dr. Leonid Brodsky and Dr. Milton Taylor, they’ve already identified over 37 genes(out of possible 20,000 genes) that help in combating the Hepa-C strain.

According to Dr. Brodsky, “”When we know which genes are responsible for fighting the viruses which attack our liver, we will be able to look for the medications which will activate these genes most favorably”. He further added, “”In the specific case of hepatitis C, we have now isolated the genes that show which patients will respond to treatment. Until now, all patients received treatment for an extended period of time without knowing whether or not they would respond. In the future, we hope to find other medications that will be more effective in activating all of the 37 genes.”

Although I don’t think I’m a blogger well-established enough to feature the writings of another blogger, still I’d like to take this opportunity to share with your another doctor’s perspective on the status of the health care system in the Philippines. This just goes to say that not few doctors (and not only me) see the terrible dilemma our country is facing regarding our health care system and that doctors are raising their voices to be able to let the whole country know that many changes should be done soon, if not, now.

Here’s Dr. Carl Dwight Demetria’s take on the issue (as posted in another forum):

* * * * *

Health care in the Philippines is dying.

And for me, it is a slow, painful death. Like a hemorrhaging patient with advanced TB, who neglected to take the needed but annoyingly long anti-Koch’s medications.

We could run the merry-go-round of declaring who is the more righteous: the pragmatist who believes that “the best provider is the one who leaves”, or the apologist/optimist who generalizes medical students as rich, and can tolerate a few more years of drought before
they hit the big time in local medical practice.

But the prospects for our patient named Philippine health care is necessarily colored by our personal experiences as doctors. Even as we slowly espouse evidence-based medicine in our human patients, in social problems such as this one we inevitably fall on our own emotion-colored glasses to see the picture.

So to add to this discussion I return to what I have experienced in my short stint as a doctor.

Even while studying in the State University, there has always been a distinction between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’. This delineation can be noticed once somebody initiates a discussion about future plans. The ‘haves’, either by virtue of a sizeable war chest, an inheritable clinic practice, or extensive networking, are almost always cocksure about their plans for the future: residency in PGH, or taking the USMLE.

The ‘have-nots’, who have struggled silently to get through medical school, are not as sure as to their future plans. The lack of a medical Economics class does not help matters.

As they approach the clinics, they all see first hand the innards of a government hospital, and its one oft-repeated saving grace: the richness of clinical material called patients. Otherwise, the bureaucracy cripples everything from supplies to having enough nurses to the imposed, but subtle, monstrosity that is termed ‘hierarchy’. Only a few would dare express delight at this set-up, declaring their fealty to the hospital and the corresponding willingness to sacrifice ‘few’ years to train there. Most would be silently waiting for the day that they could break free from the hospital’s grip.
