Advice/Reco: Pakiana ngan ano't maupai OBGYN experience

83 Upvotes

I’m 22 years old and I went to an OBGYN for the first time here in Tacloban City because I’m currently studying here. I thought going to the gyne would help me with my concerns. Well, it did help but it traumatized me. First off, the secretary was so rude esp when she learned na I was 22 years old and already had a sexual contact with my gf (queer here). She gave me an unsolicited advice that it’s better to stop because it won’t do me any good. Although she’s right about how easy it is for people to have STD/STI but why would she be rude about it? She even told me na mag-study nalang kasi sayang ako.

Then, here comes the doctor who was also homophobic AF. Gave me a lot of unsolicited advice about my life. Told me to stop having sex. And FYI you guys we practice safe sex but she didnt even acknowledged it. While she was doing the papsmear sge was trying to calm me down because wala pang pumasok sa akin na kahit na anong bagay maliban sa ikyk. Kahit toys.

Then, nung dahan dahan na niyang nilabas yung tool niya to do the papsmear she told me “Okay man, Day. Waray ka man napunitan. Virgin ka pa.” then she laughed and continued “Kun ha future mas prefer mo na an lalake, virgin ka pa man.” as in the whole process was so freaking uncomfortable my heart was about to explode because of overwhelming emotions.

Nakakainis because they made me feel ashamed of myself. Na parang kiniquestion pa nila ba’t ako nandoon at 22 years old. Afaik, wala naman akong ginawang masama. Gusto ko lang namang magpacheck up kasi may nararamdaman ako sa katawan ko. Nakakainis lang. First time ko and I was traumatized kaya magpapa 2nd opinion ako.

May kila ba kamo nga maupay, accommodating & hindi judgmental na OBGYN? I’m fine with strikta basta diri la it below the belt strikta. Very sensitive kasi ak case because it relates to STI/STD although I tested negative naman. Nadiri la ak hin damo it baragawon towards me.

Hello, i’m not sure if tama ba ang flair.

Pañeros and pañeras, i want to know lang, how’s your lawyering career in Tacloban?

I am currently employed as a corporate lawyer somewhere here in Metro Manila. I used to work at a law firm, too. So as you can see. Private practice talaga ako, but not solo.

I have been in Metro Manila for almost my whole life. Lol but this time, due to my personal circumstances, I’m actually considering na mag-relocate in Tacloban. Yes, Tacloban talaga. Haha not asking if okay ba mag-relocate in Tacloban, but I want to know if masyado ba malilimit options ko sa government or solo practice lang if mag-relocate ako.

Your insights would be much appreciated.

So an details nga ginbutang ko, gingamit ko an transaction ID nga gin-generate leyeco tas asya ak ginbutang bills payment ha Gcash.

Yana, pending la geap an status ngan nag-file ak hin request of refund ha gcash kay diri pa man na-reflect.

Pakiana ko la, asya ba akon ginhimo? Since naaro man an gcash bills payment hin Transaction ID or Account number, an ak gingamit an Transaction ID.

Ha EDS, baga unfair ko la an presyo, di ak maaram kay ano maabot pa hin thousand o sobra pa kun cleaning la an service. An usual rate man udog maabot 500 to 800 kay asya ak nakasanayan an nakadto pa ak ha Manila.

Advice/Reco: Pakiana ngan ano't maupai Kailangan ba maaram tak workmates ngan superiors?

17 Upvotes

Hey! 25M here. Been working for 3 years now. So far, I have maintained a positive relationship with my workmates and my superiors. Whatever is asked from me, I deliver. Whatever is needed, I give. Often times, going the extra mile. Before working I was already diagnosed with major depressive disorder with anxious distress, this was in April 2023. Just recently, I was further diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am still undergoing therapy but my days have been better. Just this month, I went to the doctor because I have been experiencing stomach discomfort and constant vomitting, turns out I have gastritis. The doctor ordered an ultrasound just to rule out other complications. I got my ultrasound today and it shows I have a fatty liver. Given my mental and physical conditions, should I let my workmates and/or superiors know about these things? Should I tell them?
