Medical care in the Philippines

If you are in pain then you use them.... That is why they are called painkillers... Diba...???

Of course, but i see where kimmi is coming from the more you use a pain killer the less effect it has. Same with anti biotics Doctors often are quoted in saying that the way anti biotics are used has caused a lot of problems with resitant strains and the like.

yes Dom but sometimes, if we can tolerate the pain it will be better not to take pain killer because it will have an after effect in the future..

thanks Andy..sometimes we also have to read and research about some of the medicines prescribed to us by our doctors and of course its effects..

I know it took them 10yrs or more to become a certified doctor and I am not questioning their capabilities or their degrees its just that sometimes its better that we also have knowledge about medical things or even with simple medicines..

so the next time we get ill, we ourselves can check if our doctor prescribe us the right medicine, well of course after they made proper check ups, diagnosis, and laboratories..
