KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A HOSPITAL PATIENT

All images from: Free Patient Clipart

If animals have rights, then more so with people going to the hospital for treatment. However, some people do not know about these rights because of misinformation.
Below are these basic patient rights in condensed form as endorsed by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)


The Patient's Bill of Rights are now being adopted by many hospitals internationally.

PATIENT'S BILL OF RIGHTS:
The patient has the right to:

1. Impartial access to treatment or accommodations that are available or medically indicated, regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, or sources of payment for care.

2. Considerate, respectful care.

3. Confidentiality of all communications and other records pertaining to the patient's care.

4. Expect that any discussion or consultation involving the patient's case will be conducted discreetly and that individuals not directly involved in the case will not be present without patient permission.

5. Expect reasonable safety congruent with the hospital practices and environment.

6. Know the identity and professional status of individuals providing service and to know which physician or other practitioner is primarily responsible for his or her care.

7. Obtain from the practitioner complete and current information about diagnosis, treatment, and any known prognosis, in terms the patient can reasonably be expected to understand.

8. Reasonable informed participation in decisions involving the patient's health care. The patient shall be informed if the hospital proposes to engage in or perform human experimentation or other research/educational profits affecting his or her care or treatment. The patient has the right to refuse participation in such activity.

9. Consult a specialist at the patient's own request and expense.

10. Refuse treatment to the extent permitted by law.

11. Regardless of the source of payment, request and receive an itemized and detailed explanation of the total bill for services rendered in the hospital.

12. Be informed of the hospital rules and regulations regarding patient conduct

These rights are not to be abused however, there will always be an extraordinary case wherein one has to forgo them for some valid reasons.

Holy Week is About Redemption and Hope


The past week has been a commemoration of the death and crucifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Philippines being a predominantly Catholic country observes this Holy Week with religious rites and events occurring from Monday to Sunday. From Palm Sunday, to The Seven Last Words, to the Stations of the Cross, then to Easter Sunday.

Here in Pampanga, some devotees allow themselves to be flogged and crucified to the cross in reparation for their sins. I don’t question this practice as I believe that each individual has to find his personal relationship with His God. But I won’t be concentrating on this because the real meaning of Lent for me is REDEMPTION AND HOPE!

Everyone is given the second chance to redeem himself and change for the better. I would like to share this anecdote with you.

Two men – Frank and Dave - were on their way home. They trudged wearily after a hard day’s work. Along the way they encountered a drunken man who was swaying dangerously on the sidewalk.

Frank just walked past him, but Dave stopped.

“Do you need help?“ he queried with concern.

“Why bother with an irresponsible bum, who does not know when to stop drinking?” Frank sneered.

Dave ignored the comment and steadied the swaying drunk. “Here, let me bring you home. What’s your address?”

The drunken man mumbled an address, and as Frank left the two, Dave brought the disoriented man home.

The house was ablaze with funeral lights. Three little children were chorusing in ululating cries of grief. The mother has just died, and the man Dave brought home, was grieving. The relatives were deeply grateful for the unexpected help from him.

A whole week had passed after that incident when there was a knock on Dave’s door.
It was the drunken man he had helped.

“I came here to thank you for giving me the second chance to be with my family.” There was a twinkle of hope in his eyes. “I was about to do the unthinkable, but you had saved me.”

Sometimes in our lives, we render negative judgment very quickly. We would think that if we were in that particular circumstance, we would have acted valiantly and courageously, but we can never say this because we have not been there. It is only when we experienced similar situations that we understand why people do certain things.

If we want more meaning in our lives, then we have to live, not only for ourselves but for others as well. Understanding people and lending a helping hand whenever we can, can make a difference in this world.


And even if you don’t believe in the Divine presence and in what Holy Week stands for, science will always find a way to bring back to you, what you have given out. The law of nature is to create balance. What you give out is what you get in return. That is the law of “karma’.

Do you believe in karma too?

Whatever you believe in, allow me to greet you a HAPPY EASTER!

Buying and Selling Your Own Gold Could Be Possible Now

When I was younger, I remember relatives going on a hunting spree for the rumored lost gold of the Marcoses. There were also stories about the Yamashita treasures buried in secret hiding places. This desire to find the lost gold bars was all the more intensified when the golden buddha was found. Many people donned their hunting clothes and journeyed to look for the rest of the treasures. It was believed there were still tons and tons of buried gold left by the Japanese retreating forces during the second world war.

Gold is a rare and precious metal, and it is through the possession of this, that a country's “value” is determined. The more gold-the better.

In this dire economic times, people prefer to sell gold and buy gold , to ascertain that they have something more valuable than money. Money is useless if there is no gold to back it up.

Gold made easy allows you to sell and buy gold. A guideline is also provided so that you can be an owner of gold coins, gold bullions, nuggets , leafs or silver rounds for real. Don’t miss out on this chance!

This is brought to you by your friends at Gold Made Easy.
