free consultation diay

[simoen]

---

i don't know if this is the right forum but my question is for doctors, healthcare professionals or children of doctors:

do your friends or co-workers subtly ask for free medical consultation while you're out for lunch, shopping, in a party or simply hanging out? kanang simplehan nga pangutana or dili gani, lantaran na jud?

yesterday, my friend and i were out shopping and when we were in the women's restroom, she asked "[name], my eyes are slightly yellow...what does that mean?" ok lang ka kung panagsa ra pero murag every time we meet naa man jud pangutana eh. more so now, that i've graduated from nursing school like, "my in-law has been having these frequent headaches...what do u think is going on?" and if i can't answer their problems, mu-ingon dayon "can you please text your parents"? (because they're retired doctors) and that has been going on for as long as i can remember.

in my previous work, officemates from other departments would drop by my cubicle and describe their daughter's illness. so when i reply that i'm not a doctor...ang itubag kay "siyaro, sige gud mo magkita og magkuyog naa jud kay makat-on ana"

i did not know that one can inherit a medical degree.

kamo, what do you say or do in these scenarios?

dili sad sila reasonable.. kay mag expect jud sila abi magkuyog kuyog ka doctor makabalo na ka sa work sa doctor. makasapot indeed... u need to reason out jud na ur not a doctor but a nurse. if u know something about some causes of disease.. they should not believe it kay wla baya kay base unlike doctor who need to check u physically.. ana na lang nga dili ka gusto mabasol pataka pa nuon ka... iklaw pa ila basolon.

bitaw...awkward siguro feeling ana noh..mura pod nag sa akong case...kay im a psych graduate, ask dayon "Psychoha kuno ko"...may na lang kay mas dali ra itubag ug "Sorry, I'm a psychology grad, not a psychic"
