Greetings po sir. As you know po, I'm teaching at EAC College of Medicine. I'm just delighted to inform and share to you po that I am able to use the pictures I had during my residency. I was able to keep them and right now, I incorporate them in the lectures that I give. It is helping me a lot in discussing a topic. Because of that sir, I would like to thank you po for diligently instilling in us the importance of medical photography. Now I realize the value of having a "good and properly" taken picture, be it a preop, intra-op or post-op picture. Again sir, thank you po and I hope that I'll be able to share more to my students the different methods that you taught us. God bless po.

I'm sure that OM has made giant leaps in terms of the provision of quality health services to its patients, and in the education and training of its surgical students,residents and fellows. Because that seems to be your legacy, your "signature" , if you will, wherever you go. And I am proud to have been under your wings,.and truly, you have taught me a lot.

The surgical residents used to say the word "Josonic", whenever we would try to dissect a problem to its basic dimensions, and try to come up with effective solutions using a risk-benefit table. To be Josonic meant that one was being a critical thinker, and that one was being rational. I was proud to be called "Josonic" by my colleagues.

I am also sure that your projects advocating rational public health measures continue to create an impact , and effect change in our health delivery system. When I left, I know for one, that you were trying to convince a lot of the stakeholders against holding circumscision missions, and instead devote our limited resources to more essential health services.

Sir, you truly are a blessing to the entire community of not just surgeons but also to patients who get a chance to be touched by you. Just the same, it is truly an honor getting to know, be nurtured by you during my residency, and having worked with you. Can I quote the text part of your story in one of the future blogs or posts that I will share with the medical community?

Thank you sir for this eye-opener and reminder to look at the patient as a person rather than as an object for the furtherance of knowledge; or worse, as source of income. Residents, as well as consultants, need this kind of input which is sorely lacking in the training process. Coming from you, this message may effect a paradigm shift.

Sir,

Your story brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for your patient. God must have really meant for you to be at FMAB when she decided to take her chances there, (and risk losing her savings.) i used to direct a lot of our charity patients to Breast Care Center and i always wondered and worried if all of them get to receive medical attention, given their numbers vs our doctors'.

I understand where these patients are coming from, especially the ones that we have in PGH. So, thank you sir for caring enough.

Good pm po sir. Currently I am the chairman of the tumor board of mother seton hospital. And for a tumor board to be functional, a guideline must be formulated. I surfed the internet and happened to read on the tumor board guidelines of Ospital ng Maynila authored by you. Sir, if not too much to ask for permission, can I copy some if not all the guidelines you formulated for OM? I will use it as a framework with some revisions of course to conform on the setting of our hospital. I am optimistically hoping for your kind approval. Thank you very much and more power. Godbless.

Dr. Alfred de Dios was a graduate of our Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Fellowship in the Philippine General Hospital. When I was the Chairman of the Department of Surgery of Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center, I invited him to join this Department. Sometime between 2009 and 2011, at least twice, he told me, "Sir, I hope you don't mind I have been using the General Surgery Curriculum that you created for OMMC Department of Surgery in the other departments of surgery that I am connected with and am the training officer." I recalled he mentioned Rizal Medical Center, Sanitarium, and United Doctors Medical Center.

In January 26, 2013, Dr. Emilio Cano told me that he is using the information and materials that he is still getting from the Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center Department of Surgery egroup whenever he needs them to run the Department of Surgery in Tondo Medical Center. He is currently the Chairman of this Department. He was a former urology consultant of the Department of Surgery of Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center. He was my student in the Department of Surgery in the Philippine General Hospital before he became a urologist.
