   the government should take seriously to this matter. kelangan talaga tanggalan sila ng lisencya ng hindi sila tutularan ng ibang doctor & medical practitioner. it is the right time na ipakita ng government kung gaano ka effective e implement ang law dito sa pinas.

   I am very much dissapointed about how the Philippine doctors and medical team treat their patients. How come they boast their medical tourism if they dont know the basic ethics. As a foreigner of this country, I will never support that medical tourism of Phil. and I will tell my friends to get rid of Philippine doctors. I do hope there will be a total ban of Philippine doctors, nurses as well as other professionals here the western country.

   such a shame!
   the guy was totally dehumanized.
   I saw the video in youtube.com, and should a human being be under those demoralization?
   hey! this is an open call for every FIlipino, it is about time that we step up and be the first to show the world that we have the respect for the rights of others.
   GAYS, bisexuals, straights, they are all the same.
   WHAT WAS WRONG WITH WHAT HE DID?
   it was all in his discretion. he did in private.
   Should those people who made fun with him do the same thing foir pleasure and something went wrong, i just hope nothing as gruesome and shameless would be done to them. The person went there to be treated and not to be ashamed.
   THe mark down for Philippine Medical tourism is not already the topic, for the main issue here is way beyond just that. HUman rights, discrimination not only against gay people or, bisexuals, in this case, are the main issues that must be appointed here. WE Filipinos, as I believe, remain to be idle and ignorant to the reality of “others” beyond that range of our “normal.”

   the clients need a privacy pero anong ginawa nila nararapat lang na matanggalan sila ng lisensya……… nabalewala nalang mga pinag aralan nila………. at sinayang lang nila ang lahat

   Indeed, we all are disappointed with what had happened. But it is a mistake of a few. To KYLE, i dont think its fair to generalize all Filipino doctors or nurses. Admit it or not, we do have good doctors/nurses and truly they are recognized worldwide. Re the medical tourism, we are still promoting that. I guess we have something to boast on that as well. It is just a matter of coordination among governments and other stakeholders concerned. Ethics is very hard to define. We initially learn that at home, with our parents. So its not proper to say that all Filipino doctors have no basic ethics. This is like saying, All Americans or Asians are unethical. :/
   Oh, and to MALING - as i said di talaga pinagaaralan ang ethics. nadedevelop lang yan ng bawal indibidual.

   It’s like they did not heard about PATIENT’S BILL OF RIGHTS. I think they need to review their ethics.

Got something to say?
