That’s why I chose to do programming: it’s less complicated.

Sayang…I’ve never seen an actual filariasis patient. I haven’t really seen rare cases, except perhaps for rhabdomyosarcoma, stroke in the young (as young as 3 years old), and Takayasu’s arteritis. You would have been lucky to see these cases in your lifetime, although I wouldn’t be too sure about the statistics of those cases in your hospital.

I don’t know half the words you used! Haha. Poor guy. But at least he’s getting treated. Nakita ko sa TV before yung ibang may ganung sakit, napapabayaan na lang kasi they can’t afford to go to hospitals.

Doc, what happens to all that skin? how can testicle skin stretch that much and what will happen to the skin after you “scoop out all the gross stuff”?

How big was the mass when you saw it?

That is one interesting case. I pity him because of the suffering he has to endure because of it. It also makes me wonder how some people could have waited a month with a problem like this before consulting a physician while some other people would quickly go to the emergency room with only a temperature of 37.0 degrees Celsius (it’s not even a fever! they only deem it as fever or “sinat” because “it felt like it”) and some slight cold. And note, magagalit pa ‘yun when you don’t see them immediately because as an ER physician you were busy with ER cases. And common pa nilang reason why they should be seen first is they came in first! Duh.

I think I’ve seen that Magandang Gabi Bayan presentation before, but I was..err, too young then, I guess.

Anyway, I had a little headache understanding the medical terms! LOL. But I got the picture of the disease. Too bad then for the abaca farmer(planter?). Could have been careful with the mosquitos. And he’s gonna be treated by you, right?
