Na-email lang sa akin :
I heard through the grapevine about a remark made on an episode of"Desperate Housewives" last night. The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist thatshe might be hitting
menopause. Susan replied, "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to
make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines." If you go to abc.com, you watch thefull episode and witness the scene at about 18:50 minutes into the episode.
This type of derogatory remark is not only unnecessary and hurtful, but is also unfounded, considering the presence of Filipinos and Filipino Americans in the health care industry. Filipinos are the second largest immigrant population in the United States, with many entering the U.S. and passing their U.S. licensing boards as doctors,nurses, and medical technicians. In fact, the Philippines produces more U.S. nurses than any other country in the world. So, to belittle the education, experience, or value of Filipino Americans in health care is disrespectful and plain and simply ignorant.
Ang tindi naman nyan. Considering na mga pinoy doctors ang nangingibabaw sa US.
Hay naku. :-(
