City hall�s lies

I AM one of the 18 (or possibly more) doctors who resigned from the JR Borja General Hospital last month. I am writing to express disgust on a news item aired over ABS-CBN last Monday (July 1, 2009), in which our own mayor, Constantino Jaraula, said the physicians who tendered their resignations did so because they have higher plans for their career. I recalled Mayor Tinnex saying “Kay gusto man sila muadto sa Amerika.”

39th Annual Convention
SMX Convention Center
May 3-6, 2009

The Organizing Committee of the 39th PCP Annual Convention is inviting you to take a closer look at the scientific sessions being prepared for you on May 3-6, 2009 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. They are timely as they are relevant, and they are aimed to challenge you intellectually as they confront current paradigms. What every general internist or sub-specialist should be reminded of about Internal Medicine takes center-stage this year as we take stock of the many things that impact the medical profession : New findings and basic knowledge in clinical medicine, innovations and challenges to current thinking, ethics and health policy, career management, health advocacy and legislation, etc. This year, we move on from previous themes that sought to redefine the Filipino physician and gain global competitiveness to “Partnership, Change, & Professionalism in Medicine”, a call for readiness to engage the world as we adapt to change, build alliances, and strengthen our character.
