Although Dr.

Tan doesn’t know how to operate hospital’s apparatuses, she must’ve learned that
because first of all, she is a well-trained doctor and also, professionals should know how to use the
equipment that surrounds them.

Doctors are designated to cure the injured, help those in dying state, and supposed to work
immediately to save lives. They are also concerned on checking up patients that are ill. They work fast,
accurate, and proper as what they have sworn. Doctors, are also, risk lives for a living.

Doctors are well-trained, knowledgeable professionals studied for almost 10 years on a medical
school, disregards the primary and the secondary education. They worked so hard so that they can
prove to everyone that they are for this job. Their and their patients’ lives are risked in every operation,
surgery and treatment they have been taken. They are also expected to attend emergencies.

But doctors are, like normal people, do failures. Some are small, petty, but it might end
someone’s living. But one’s worse, one mistake, and the blame is theirs.

And this one situation proved the calmness and educative behavior of a doctor. Although she
yelled so much that can trigger her emotions, she chose to keep quiet and ease up the situation.

Last July 18, a Singer, Yeng Constantino and her husband bounded at Siargao Island to escape
city pollutions. But, for some instances, accidents visited them. And unfortunately, her husband severely
injured after an attempt of cliff dive.

As of reports, Yan, his husband, suffered a temporary memory loss, that he can’t remember
where they are, how they got there, and where are they are staying that time. He was rushed into the
hospital at Del Carmen, checked his blood pressure, and gave him pain killers and neck braces. And they
have been told that they must go to another nearby hospital because the equipment they need are on
that hospital. On that time, she, exasperatedly ranted that that hospital should have more equipment
because they are the nearest hospital on a tourist spot.

The ambulance drove them at the Dapa Hospital. But instead of one-and-a-half-procedure, it
takes them three and a half hours due to too many errors: no X-ray, so they used an alternative,
ultrasound. The brain scanner needed to check the brain hemorrhage is in still boxed that time, an
worse, the said scanner still have no battery charged on it. Then this doctor, Tan, lately said that they
have this infrascanner. And last, the last thing Yeng made herself annoyed, after unboxing the
infrascanner, Dr. Tan is reading this manual for years and almost forgot that she has a patient that
couldn’t open his eyes due to lot of pain.
 This is a question to everyone: Why they aren’t trained to this kind of equipments? What if
there’s a very emergency came to their hospital and they still doesn’t know how to operate a single
equipment? And why they are not trained on using these apparatuses?

They should mark this scenario a lesson that doctors must now how to use hospital equipment,
when there are no available to do so. We know doctors are not designed to operate apparatuses, but,
for the sake of their patients, they should.
