Dying Comfortably (SPMC Palliative Wing Opens!)

After arduous months of preparation, grueling negotiations and sleepless nights, finally all efforts transpired into a successful activity. Last November 8, 2012, the Section of Palliative Medicine under the Department of Family and Community Medicine of Southern Philippines Medical Center, officially opened its Ward area. Spearheaded by our dynamic consultant, Dr. Rojim Sorrosa, it aims to cater more patients who are suffering from debilitating conditions who needs our special services. In coordination and altruism of the Rotary of Waling-Waling, the vision was indeed materialized.

The momentous occasion was attended by the Chief of Hospital, Dr. Leopoldo J. Vega; the Chief of Clinics, Dr. Ricardo Audan and several department heads and dignitaries. Local networks were out to support our opening. Congratulations everyone.

Reach Out

In Celebration of The World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, the Department of Family and Community Medicine, Davao City, held its first post-graduate course entitled Reach Out. Attended by Medical and Non-Medical practitioners, the whole day activity was filled with lectures and workshops. Hospice and Palliative care cater to the sick and the dying, not only the patients as well as their families.

I was the host of the said event and because of my on going flu, my brain wasnt functioning well due to the virus. I have lost my confidence as well as my energy that I felt like I was the zombie plucked from the Walking Dead Series. Nevertheless, the show must go on.

Thanks to all the participants as well as the organizers. Until the next postgrad.
