Ever since the first week of my post-graduate internship at the UP-PGH, I have had a number of friends from the UP College of Medicine (UPCM) who were constantly asking these questions:
Of all hospitals in the country, why PGH?
Hey Fred, how are you? No regrets yet?
Yet even before internship started, I already had these answers in mind:
I have always wanted to train in UP-PGH because I would want to see as much patients and as much variety of clinical presentations of disease entities as I can. What better venue of achieving this goal than in UP-PGH? As they always say, “Kung hindi na kaya ng lahat, ipapadala din yan sa PGH.” (If other doctors / hospitals can’t handle it anymore, they will eventually send the patient to PGH).
Being accepted in UP-PGH, I have never been happier and fulfilled as a medical doctor. Regrets? How can I regret something I have always wanted?
