Dont know where you are staying but i have had a lot of experiances with Hospitals in the P.I. The doctors in general are pretty good as in Angeles city the doctor who sent us to hospital also came in and looked after us, but the nurses were woeful. Watch them when they dispense your medicines as they dont always get the dosage right.

The most professional hospital we went to was Makati General in Manilla.

It wasnt myself or my wife that needed the treatment but always our boys when they were young, that just added to the worry.

Moral of the story, try to make it to Manilla.

When sick dont just go to the nearest hospital because they are near . When staying in the Philippines it might be useful if you ask around for a hospital . Reputations of hospitals with in Metro Manila are known even by cab drivers. They know which ones leave patient unattended and which ones respond immediately when patient are brought in. Of course it goes with out saying that you have to prepare yourself for the exorbitant fees that they charge afterwards [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigcry.gif[/img]
There are still some good nurses left in some hospitals [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] but soon they will be off to the US or UK which leaves the inexperienced ones . Thats why I try to keep a healthy lifestyle [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Grin.gif[/img]
