Comments on: The Cebu Rectal Surgery Scandal, Not a Laughing Matter

I am about to go through a major colon-rectal surgery. I’m having a complete colectomy. I’ve been battling Ulcerative Colitis, kind of like Chron’s, for the past couple of years. It’s reached the point were surgery is the only option.

After seeing this I am both dismayed and worried! I couldn’t believe it. What happened to “do no harm”? How could you mock a person who is in such a vulnerable state? It’s sad on so many levels.

In some working environmental, having joke and being fun is good for productivity. But joking in the middle of operation, I’m very sure that it is improper. Surprisingly this happened in the profesional medical world…

correction - it should read individuals!- if you are interested what HIPAA means just look up the word in your computer! Also when a procedure or surgery such as this is going inside the operating room- the head surgeon should have stopped the behavior and make sure nobody is videotaping the said surgery! this is a big no no here in NY! - clearly the people that are involved in this fiasco needs to be punished- and the patient should be awarded a huge monetary compensation— duh!!!

isn’t it there are laws/guidelines in the medical profession and the nursing profession-protect the patient’s privacy and maintain the patient’s dignity- and why this horrible and tacky behavior of the said operating room indiciduals!-their license should be suspended for a year or even seven years!!!! if you are here in new york or other states you cannot do this! we have HIPAA guidelines to follow and the patient- is the center of all our efforts (one huge city hospital’s famous saying!).

Those guys were possessed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done such a thing. I kinda felt embarassed when that video gained international exposure. It wasn’t very helpful to the Pinoy’s image in the global stage. They should be penalized for doing what they did.

very unprofessional; these doctors should be very sensitive to their patients’ feelings. i remembered when my days old daughter got hospitalized and how the nurses don’t just pay attention to us becoz they are so busy telling stories with each other; how the medtech got irritated when my husband told them to be careful in injecting the dextrose needle in my daughter’s hand, and how the doctor just don’t give a damn when we asked for his help. are these the kind of medical professionals we have in the country…no heart at all.

@Ed- very unprofessional talaga

@Rhodora- I also remember in my cesarian operation the gossip the medical staff would do…it bothered me as well

@Lemon- I am so ashamed that my fellow Cebuanos did a terrible unethical thing

@Jhay- There should be severe sanctions.

@Jim- I am okay but I AM NOT happy that Jessica Soho’s segment producer showed some sort of reenactment of my son’s death

@Aloe- what do you mean by “I hope you have moved on”….It’s been 8 years, yes I have moved on to my new normal…I have moved on and accepted that he died.

But…..

If you mean move on and forget my son ever lived, you better be careful with your words. I want to be clear on what you mean by that because you should not say that to anyone who lost their loved one…

@guardian angel- thanks for watching

@Tetet- very big blow. An insult.

This is a big blow to the medical community. This kind of act should never be let loose as some sort of hype - when in a blink of an eye, it will go away.
