Neighbors

Neighbor 1 had me rise from bed to check on him because of fever. looking for a source of infection, i found his right elbow to be swollen. He said it must've been bitten by a cockroach. i told him it was infected and he needed some antibiotics to fight the infection. i prescribed his meds and went back to bed. i found out later that when i left his unit, he whined that i didn't even use my stethoscope to listen to his inflamed elbow (eing??!). He went to the hospital to get a second opinion and got prescribed the same meds i gave him.

Neighbor 2. came to my door asking me to look at her 2 year old daughter who limped. i asked the kid to run and noted that she did limp on her right foot. when i examined the foot for deformities, it looked normal to me. i asked if she had any bouts of fever lately, negative. trauma, negative. immunizations, complete. i told her to observe for a week then if it still persisted, i would suggest an xray. when she left my house, she went directly to the hospital to have an xray taken. when she saw me the next day she said, "doc, normal yung xray. Di na po sya pilay." i just stared at her then walked away.

Neighbor 3. Her son threw a stone at another neigbor's daughter. Being a responsible mother she volunteered to pay for her medicines. I asked her to buy some antitetanus shots. she looked at my prescription and said, "dadalhin ko na lang sya sa center tapos kung ano yung reseta dun eh ipapaturok ko na lang sayo." (ginawa pa akong nurse) She ended up buying my prescribed medicines.

maybe if i charged them a professional fee they'd show more respect.
what should i do to earn some credibility here?
to hell with them all.
