He was admitted to…read morethe hospital and some doctor friends of ours from other hospitals immediately told my mom that he should not be given the drug Remdesivir due to it's negative side effects to kidneys (my dad had kidney issues at the time). We especially went through the trouble of procuring a costly alternative drug from overseas for his use and the hospital agreed to use it instead for him(my mom was really adamant about it). But he still eventually passed. When we reviewed the drugs he was given when we were settling the bill, we noticed that they went behind our backs and gave him Remdesivir anyway. And with multiple doses per day too. In the end, his main cause of death was from septic shock due to kidney failure.

I paid for this by contracting a new and more virulent strain of dengue and bringing it to Manila, where I got sucked by another mosquito, which then bit my sister. So both of us ended up with dengue in Metropolitan Hospital, trying our best not to bleed out of our eyes and die. My sister only had second-degree dengue so she got off easy. I, on the other hand, was so close to dying I got sad looks from the nursing staff. My platelet count dropped to 4 -- context: normal number is 300. I wasn't allowed to brush my teeth because if my gums bleed, the bleeding won't stop and I'll die. The best part of that experience was that the whole hospital rallied to save me. The doctors were there for me, the nurses kept sneaking me Jell-O, and some of the staff even donated blood so I wouldn't have to pay for the blood bank. In the end, I survived, and it was thanks to the wonderful people in this hospital.

Doctors and nurses though, are fairly good; they have to be, given the large of number of patients they need to attend to per shift. I had a chance to visit someone who was admitted to the charity ward and it was not an enjoyable experience. I really hope that the hospital could somehow get more funding, or at least a sponsor for more fans and better lighting. You do have to respect the fact that this medical institution takes in patients who could otherwise not afford medical care. The area around the hospital is not safe, especially during the hours where they aren't many people about. There has been repeated muggings and snatching of cellphones within the immediate vicinity, including areas of the hospital that are easily accessible to the public such as the emergency room or the parking lot.

I hate waiting for my turn at the doctor's office with all the other sick patients coughing and wheezing away beside you. I always feel like I'm bound to get sicker than actually get well when I come in for a check-up. I was really surprised with my experience at Healthway Medical in Greenbelt. First off, as a medical clinic inside a mall, I had low expectations. So was very happy that they provided such good service, even better than most big hospitals. You come in and it's easy to talk to the people there to find out what the steps are. If you are a new patient, you will be directed to a computer kiosk where you can enter your patient information - very modern! Then proceed to the counter where they will ask you want you what kind of doctor you need. There was less than 5 minutes of waiting time before I was escorted to the doctor's clinic by one of the staff. The doctor was very thorough with the check up and I was satisfied with the result of the treatment. Next time you need medical advice, I would highly recommend seeking it at Healthway Medical. The service there really made me smile.

Out of all the branches that I've tried, I can truly say that I like the Greenbelt branch the best. Not only does the place look new, the staff is very accommodating! I was very privileged to have experience the Healthway VIP treatment - there's a separate waiting room with TV (woohoo) and comfy coaches. Tip: make sure you bring a book or a game to play. There's always a lot of people here so you could be waiting and waiting. Also make sure to bring a bottle of water so that when the time comes and you need urine sample, you can easily give it. The whole place is well ventilated, it sometimes gets too chilly for me so I always make it a point to bring a jacket! The doctors here are very nice and super helpful - just ask away and they will try their best to answer you.

My brother would immediately (and while panicking) send me to the emergency room and our first choice would always be UST Hospital. PROS: I had this nasty viral infection a year ago. It had all the symptoms of dengue, except that my platelet count wasn't as low as it's supposed to be when someone has dengue, so it's technically not and it's just a viral infection. That's what the doctors at UST Hospital's Emergency Room diagnosed me with and they made me stay in the ward overnight. They couldn't give me anything though, since there are no antibiotics for viruses. So I had to ride it out while they'd occasionally inject pain meds and hydrating stuff in my IV drip. They actually diagnosed me quickly and cared for me properly, that by the next day, my signs were looking better and I was discharged. CONS: It's probably an expensive private hospital, since you have to pay for everything, even the syringe or the basin you puke on. Thankfully, I have health insurance, so it covered most of the cost; I don't know if it's just a preconceived notion knowing that they *might* still be students or interns, but I found that when they inject me with a syringe, it's more painful and they take more than one try to get to the vein. TL;DR: UST Hospital is a decent private health provider that has really good service and modern facilities.

I now have firsthand experience of PGH's poor service--both before and after a medical…read moreprocedure--as well as their inadequate handling of complaints. This is no longer just about my relatives; I can personally attest that PGH's service is truly disappointing. A hospital does not automatically become "good" simply because it has UP-trained doctors or produces research outputs. That assumption must be challenged. Our complaint has already reached the UP leadership and the Department of Health, as PGH itself appears indifferent--particularly its doctors, personnel, and departments. My concern now is that they may attempt to distort the facts once this issue is brought to a proper forum. I strongly advise others to disregard comments posted here by PGH employees or UP students. What truly matters are firsthand experiences, and those reveal the reality far better than institutional claims.
