𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙮𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧.💔

He didn’t want to go to school.
And I didn’t have the energy to explain.
I was tired. Running late.
Trying to hold it all together—and failing silently.

So when he said,
“𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙜𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡, 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖,”
I lost it.
I raised my voice.
He cried.
And just like that, the guilt kicked in.

Because it wasn’t really about him.
It was the dishes in the sink.
The unread messages.
The bills.
The mental load.
The weight of being everything for everyone.

And in that moment,
𝙄 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙚’𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨.
He wasn’t being difficult.
He was just… needing me.

After I buckled him into his seat,
he reached out for my hand.
Still crying.
Still soft.
Still forgiving.

And I?
I wanted to 𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 at the universe—
𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙮
𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨?

I sat in the car after drop-off and cried.
Because 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙢.
I just had a 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀:
Messy mornings.
Tears before 8AM.
Sorries whispered into car rides.
And love that chooses to stay—even on the hard days.

𝐒𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐨’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞:
You are not alone.
You are allowed to feel tired.
You are allowed to make mistakes.
And you are still doing a good job.

Not perfect.
But present.
Not flawless.
But full of love.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝. 🌼

WHY SOME DOCTORS BILL MORE THAN OTHERS

Title: “Just Five Minutes?”

Mila stormed out of the clinic, clutching the white prescription paper in her hand and shaking her head in disbelief. “Five minutes. I paid ₱800 for five minutes,” she muttered, eyes wide with exasperation.

She sat on the nearest bench and began venting to her husband over the phone.
“Alam mo, he just asked me three questions — ‘Saan masakit? Kailan nagsimula? May lagnat ka ba?’ Then he listened to my back, looked at my throat, and wrote this! That was it. I didn’t even get to finish explaining everything I googled!”

On the other end of the line, her husband tried to calm her down. “Baka naman magaling ‘yung doctor?”

“Magaling? E ni hindi ako tinanong tungkol sa diet ko o lifestyle,” Mila snapped. “I could’ve done that myself.”

What Mila didn’t see — and what many never do — was the unseen work behind that “five-minute” consult.

The doctor had reviewed her chart the night before, recognizing her name from previous visits. His years of internal medicine practice told him which symptoms pointed to something serious and which ones didn’t. He noticed her breathing pattern as she walked in, the slight hoarseness in her voice, the subtle wince when she shifted in her seat.

He asked the right questions, examined the right places, and gave the right treatment — not because he was rushing, but because he had trained for decades to be that precise.

What took him five minutes took him twenty years to master.

And that’s what many patients don’t understand: you're not just paying for time — you're paying for expertise.

That’s also why some doctors bill more than others. It’s not just the title "doctor" that sets the fee, but how much they’ve invested in their training, their subspecialty, their experience, and the accuracy and safety they can offer in return. A more experienced doctor can often make the right call faster, with fewer tests and fewer errors — and that kind of efficiency isn’t cheap.

Mila’s ₱800 paid for more than five minutes. It paid for the confidence that she didn’t need an unnecessary lab, or a wrong medicine, or a week of worrying. It paid for a quick diagnosis made with precision — the kind only possible through long years of study, failures, learning, and patient care.

Sometimes, the best doctors make it look easy.

That’s the cost — and the value — of true medical expertise.
