“OK, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Because I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.” - teri hatcher, desperate housewives
So, this line pronounced by teri hatcher in 'desperate housewives' has exposed once again the onion-skinned knee-jerk reaction of most pinoys.
Well, maybe it has indeed cast a doubt over the pinoy medical practitioners. And it's rightful for them to demand apology from the network. And ABC have already released such. But for the hitchhikers, think again....
Personally i don't think it is a racial slur... hatcher said she wanted to MAKE SURE that the doctor is not from SOME MED SCHOOL in the philippines. So, what's the big deal? Surely, she's not referring to UP and UST med graduates. LOL. But kamon naman, let's face it, kung tayo nga dito kung mang discriminate sa mga pipichuging schools parang walang bukas... And her line is not about discrimination at all, it's about a patient wanting to be treated by a competent physician, eh kung graduate nga naman ng Mt.Tralala School of Medicine na kung saan ang specialty ay FAITH HEALING, hindi ka ba naman matatakot. My, point is, the character's demand is to be expected from a paying patient.
So ang mga balat sibuyas naglipana, kaniyakaniyang papogi na naman sa camera. Hahaha, sisihin ba naman si Teri Hatcher??? ano daw? Haha... 1) Script lang po yun, 2) The line is not discriminatory at all, pwede naman niyang sabihing 'from some med school in arizona'.
Pinoy talaga, funny. :D
And besides alam natin na magagaling mga pinoy doctors save for those who graduated from 'some med school'. Heheheh... Kaya this is just a challenge for every med school to produce high caliber physicians. And also for the Civil Service Commission at sa Professional Regulatory Commission to screen prospective doctors and shut down the non-performing always kulelat ma school kasi it is your duty to protect the public from unscrupulous practitioners from all fields and professions.Tama na ang lagayan, red tape at leakage na nag co-compromise sa quality at image ng Pinoy professionals!
