FEU-NRMF: The Truth Behind the Lies
This was written by a colleague Ac Acuna. I want to share it because I believe that our Alma matter’s reputation has to be redeemed. It is but inevitable for most people to believe what’s shown in the news. We have been exposed to that kind of culture. We’ve always believed that those people who have the power or those who have the title are the villains and the poor are always the ones exploited or naapi. We grew up that way. The teleseryes on TV are always like that. But what if it’s the other way around?
Two days ago a malicious headline accused FEU-NRMF of malpractice. The headline that shocked most people claimed “gunting, injection at ilan pang instrumento naiwan sa katawan ng isang lalaki”… to most people who do not have any inclination to medicine and to its practice it clearly sounds as if there was negligence of some sort. It troubled me deeply to know that my alma mater is the very center of this issue. But never did I doubt in the knowledge and capability of my colleagues and our medical staff, I knew there was some reason behind this careless journalism.
I was not present when it all happened but a colleague who was there told me all she knew. And I just can’t sleep without sharing “our side” of the story to everyone. Because that malicious headline has blown up into a big story that has evolved so much, tainting the good name of my alma mater and creating an unfair stigma to FEU-NRMF doctors and staff.
The said man was rushed in our ER in a very critical condition due to gunshot wound/s (am not really sure how many). He was directed to the operating room for exlap. I prefer to write in lay man terms as most may be overwhelmed by medical jargon and for better understanding of the matter.
