Cardinal Santos (again, sorry for the poor quality since I only used my cam phone)

the lobby which is very nice. It doesn't have the hospital ambience to it.


the hallway and the rooms, better than expected. I wasn't able to get a picture in side the room since there were a lot of people in it lol.

**the doors aren't two toned, it's the camera's fault

halos everymonth nandun ako, nakikita ko parati yun... ang ganda ngah nung design... last time kong pumunta dun nung vinisit ko yung friend kong na-aksidente (the one I've told in the school thread ata) the design is a big triangle hospital, any updates po?

I went here, pero matagal na ata yun, ang ganda nung interior niya, lalo na yung garden, sayang wala akong cam nun...

East Avenue Medical Center - newly painted, previously in dirty white


East Avenue Medical Center Lobby - how creative, putting plants infront of all the elevators, not really for decorative purposes but to signal that the elevators are not working

St. Luke's Medical Center is still the best hospital in the country today. Although other hospitals in the country may have acquired new equipment or have built new buildings but SLMC is still the over-all leader. It's the quality health care which SLMC is known for that makes it stand out from the rest.

it's nice that's it is newly painted but if you go to the other parts of that hospital, di pa rin sya ayos ung sa loob nya...

[thomasian]

Actually harap pa lang ang napinturahan, the exterior parts of the hospital tucked-away from the front-view has not been painted yet (or will not be painted at all, ewan ko lang).

[Francis20]

I didn't know there was SEA Hospital Now what happened to the hospital supposed to be funded by Japanese govt? Have they finalized the location yet?

@ Sista. Cardinal Santos looks gloomy to me. Specially the room na may TV. How does it feel inside? This is a place (hospital in general) that I would not want to spend a day to. I spent one night before at PGH and the experience was horrible. Kaya me phobia na yata ako sa hospital. Or perhaps because we were into a General Admission (if any) of the PGH.

@ Aron, that East Avenue Medical Centre makeover looks nice. It looked congested before. Hopefully it's not really congested inside.

A lot of middle to upper class Filipinos are reluctant to check themselves into the Philippine General Hospital because of its "jologs" reputation. But those that do become quite pleasantly surprised at the quality of service and accomodations that they get, and at a relatively cheaper price too. The PGH treats its pay patients VERY well, and is the only hospital in the Philippines that can boast of having fellows and consultants in almost every possible subspecialty you can think of, and on call 24 hours to boot. At the Asian Medical Hospital on the other hand, good luck getting an actual doctor to check up on your case after 7 pm, much less one who has finished residency. In fact, good luck even finding a resident.

And I'm not just praising the PGH because it's my alma mater or because I still have lots of friends who work in it. In fact I have many things to criticize or complain about regarding the PGH. Its management system and office staff in particular are horribly disorganized, inefficient, and bureaucratic (mala-government office talaga). But pay patients are rarely affected by all the back-office politicking anyway.

Doc Jude, this is the first time i hear these downsides of Asian Hospital. Thought it was at par with St Luke's and better than Makati Med. By the way, Makati Med would still be the closest hospital to me should I need to be brought to a hospital.

Basta, as much as possible, i don't wanna be into a hospital. I've been to UP's Infirmary, twice, 1 week each, and my classmates were asking me how was it at "InfirMATAY." The beds were nice, there were only two of us (patients) in the huge room. Plus the backdrop of Makiling will let you want to stay longer. And at student price. But the experience is still something you won't dare treasure. Hay...bakit pa kasi kelangang magkasakit eh.
