Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO

Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@cebumd #healthxph Doing fine! Only have about 30 minutes and off to a Bible study at a restaurant and breakfast.
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
#healthxph in a while T1. hop in! #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @cebumd @drlfarrell #healthxph Hello Helen! How're you doing this morning?
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@SherwinVerdun hello sir Sherwin! thanks for coming, we have a very interesting topic tonight, very relevant #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@wareFLO hello Chuck! #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@YinkaVidal @cebumd @drlfarrell hello Yinka, how are you! there's a lot happening with me, i need a checklist hehehe #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
#healthxph T1. what are the dangers of self diagnosis?
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@wareFLO #healthxph Chuck, every time you carry your body around, do you represent yourself or somebody else? Just a question!
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@helenvmadamba Indeed! Very, very relevant #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@drlfarrell hi there Liam, how have you been? #HealthXPh
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
@helenvmadamba Howdy!! #healthxph
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
T1 is up! #healthxph T1. what are the dangers of self diagnosis?
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman
@cebumd Thanks, Narcisco. Good to see you, too. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@mia_carro why do you think self-diagnosis is a problem? #Healthxph do you think it very rampant these days?
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@helenvmadamba true #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@JKatzaman hi there Jim! #healthxph talking about self-diagnosis... is it self-diagnosis if the patient is a physician?
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @cebumd @drlfarrell #healthxph Like always, you are a very strong woman, you will pull through -Amen!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@YinkaVidal @cebumd @drlfarrell thank you Yinka! #healthxph i sure hope so, for the benefit of our patients.
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@helenvmadamba @JKatzaman nice question also Helen. #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@cebumd #healthxph T1 We're all guilty of this. In Ebola case a physician died because of the same issue. He was positive, test result was negative
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman
T1 Danger of self-diagnosis is that people can, and do, read their own symptoms into disease descriptions, like a horoscope. #HealthXPh
Mico Pineda @mico_paolo45
#research18 #healthxph https://t.co/toio6MjvJR
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@mia_carro and how dangerous can this be? #Healthxph is it harmful even?
Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
T1. Self-diagnosis for me leads to unnecessary anxiety. It's always best to seek physician consult. - Gayle, CDU Med student #healthxph https://t.co/euLBn5kjg1
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
T1. Self-diagnosis may lead to self-medication which is also dangerous. #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @cebumd @drlfarrell #healthxph Helen, I have a great admiration for your strength and what you do to deliver those babies. You must have a heart of gold.
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman
@helenvmadamba Everyone is susceptible to self-diagnosis. Why should doctors, who've heard, "Physician, heal thyself," be any different? #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
The danger is that self-diagnosis can be wrong... you end up not treating the correct disease. #HealthXPh https://t.co/8hJ1uDcvK6
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@drlfarrell #healthxph T1 The greatest danger in self-diagnosis is killing yourself!
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@YinkaVidal @helenvmadamba @drlfarrell indeed she has Yinka #healthxph
Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
T1. But the real danger is when patients self-medicate (from their self-diagnosis). #healthxph https://t.co/BgADUuDCge
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@drlfarrell why? do you have a sense of doom coming? #HealthXPh
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@JKatzaman @helenvmadamba #healthxph Sadly, many in healthcare fields are in denial of their addictions, or other personal problems affecting work.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@Mico_Paolo45 wow, glad to know you're working! is that my nephew in the background? #healthxph glad to have you onboard this discussion as well.
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@cebumd On a communication pov, the patient might promote the wrong behavior #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@sosweetsuzette hello there Gayle, glad you could join #HealthXPH anxiety stems from not really knowing, right?
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@JKatzaman @helenvmadamba indeed. and the results may even be worse if it's a physician doing self-diagnosis. #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd @YinkaVidal @drlfarrell thank you, but I am just doing my best for the benefit of patients. #Healthxph I hope my patients wouldnt need to self-diagnose or self-med.
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @drlfarrell #healthxph We currently have riots in St. Louis because another police was acquitted for killing a black motorist. Pray for us!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@sosweetsuzette do you have personal experiences which you might share? #healthxph neighbors asking what you're taking, thinking it will work for them too.
JR Ong @jrong13
#healthxph T1: increased antimicrobial resistance, consequently increased cost for public health managers. Problem is limited alternatives.
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@TekiTejam good luck to your PLE. you are right. #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam hello Cyrus, how are the boards treating you? #Healthxph is a great place to have a break from the stress.
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @cebumd @drlfarrell #healthxph While you're sincerely concerned about patient care, some people are interested in how much money they can loot from healthcare
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@jrong13 yes that is another concern. #healthxph
White rose Que @whiteroseque
@cebumd T1. It increases the level anxiety of the patient #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd @JKatzaman maybe danger of OVER-diagnosing, I'm sure every med student feels he/she has the disease he/she is currently studying. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@YinkaVidal @drlfarrell praying always for world peace. #HealthXPh and sickness-free world.
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@helenvmadamba @TekiTejam Cyrus, hope you are not self-medicating now from stress. hehe. #healthxph
JR Ong @jrong13
@helenvmadamba @sosweetsuzette #healthxph Yes especially antiHPN. If one worked for them, they assume it will work for the others.
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@jrong13 #healthxph In the U.S. over prescription of antibiotics is more responsible for drug resistance, not so much of self medication
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 ah yes, antibiotic stewardship becomes an issue. pharmacists should not dispense without prescription for antbiotics #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@WhiteroseQue @cebumd if self-diagnosis would increase anxiety instead of relief, why do they do it? #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
temptation to self-diagnose is greater among HCPs i think #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@helenvmadamba @drlfarrell #healthxph That will happen at the 1000 reign of Jesus. We're all waiting for that time. Diseases will be no more!
Paio @payo_o
#HealthXPh Gud eve, does self diagnosis significantly undermine the px-doctor relationship by the time px seeks consult?
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@YinkaVidal @cebumd @drlfarrell everybody needs money, but so long as we have enough for our needs, we can work towards patients' welfare right? #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@jrong13 @helenvmadamba @sosweetsuzette this is very true in our country #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@drlfarrell low expectation. high acceptance. minimum disappointment. I learned that lesson a few years back. #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
T2. What are factors that make patients hesitate to seek doctor's consult? #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
#healthxph T1 Don't ignore taking part in your own diagnosis & treatment plan, because of fear of self-diagnosis. Confirmation is critical!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@WhiteroseQue @mia_carro whose satisfaction? I know of doctors who get irritated when patients consult Dr Google before coming in for consult. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd @TekiTejam chocolates release endorphins to make you feel good! #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jimlopez875 hello Jim! tell us all about your travels, seem the #HealthXPH is all over the world right now...
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
Patients have their own doctor but why do they hesitate coming back to their doctor? #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 @sosweetsuzette Yes, unfortunately it is cheaper to copy your neighbor's prescription than to consult your doctor #HealthXPh
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@cebumd #healthxph T2 Most patient don't want to receive bad news that they are going to die soon. Later diagnosis was wrong!
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@TekiTejam @helenvmadamba share me after the PLE about the microbiology part of the exam. #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jaymsjags06 This is why it is important to ensure access to healthcare so that patients wont resort to self-diagnosis. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@WhiteroseQue @mia_carro do medical students consult Dr Google as well? #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@cebumd Behavioral economics: people wants easy processes. Who would love long ques at the clinics #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@payo_o in my experience, it doesnt really matter, so long as my history is comprehensive and I know the details #HealthXPh
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
#healthxph Lawsuit! Man diagnosed with testicular carcinoma, ready for surgery. Wife took a lover to prepare, later diagnosis was wrong!
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
I observed in some support groups that patients would instead ask about a medication to a fellow patient than go to their doctor. #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@reyn_drop I wonder why a doctor would insult a patient? I had a patient ask why I was giving her iron for anemia when her BP was high... #HealthXPh
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman
T2 My Filipina wife tells me a common hesitation about going to doctors is that they might find something wrong. #HealthXPh
JR Ong @jrong13
#HealthXPh T2: cost of consult I think.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@mia_carro for common cough and colds, remedies can work harmlessly I suppose #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
How do we break this vicious cycle? #HealthXPh https://t.co/cTT8W9ODq3
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@helenvmadamba @jaymsjags06 Broaden the tsekap program of phic #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
out of pocket expense. long waiting times. communication issues. opportunity costs. #healthxph https://t.co/5Opk5n2o1h
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@cebumd #healthxph Some physicians don't know how to deliver bad news with hope. A physician comes to room and said, "This disease will kill you."
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
it seems to me that some patients are afraid to ask their doctor questions about their disease #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam @cebumd kaya mo yan Cy, think positive. think 100%! #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
I wonder if some doctors are not approachable and patients might fear doctor may grow impatient with their questions #healthxph
JR Ong @jrong13
#HealthXPh T2: It became an "accepted" norm for lay people.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jaymsjags06 don't you think there is a bigger budget for healthcare this year? Thanks to the SinTax funds, Philhealth actually pays 4 health #HealthXPh
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
@reyn_drop #healthxph Physicians diagnosis isn't always accurate either!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam @cebumd is coffee considered therapeutic? or just food? #Healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam @cebumd i remember we used to take glucose phosphate or some such powder to enhance brain power during exams, hahahaha #Healthxph
White rose Que @whiteroseque
T2. Patients are afraid of their results. Or high cost of healthcare #HealthxPH
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
Or some patients are afraid to spend more if they go to a doctor? #healthxph
Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
Cheap and saves them time. Some patients dont want to spend time waiting for their doctors in the clinic. #healthxph https://t.co/uIiyNmcQcb
Paio @payo_o
@helenvmadamba So this all boils down again to the PH health system? #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@helenvmadamba Indeed! The economics; this is a good research topic #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd we're trying to find a system where each PLHIV would have a primary physician to follow them up & look 4 them when they skip appt #Healthxph
JR Ong @jrong13
@cebumd Or probably patients think that the cost of service they get is not commensurate to the 15-min (or less) duration of consult. #healthxph
Rev. Victor 'Yinka Vidal @YinkaVidal
#healthxph Have to run, to a breakfast Bible study! You all have a good day. Pray for St. Louis!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@SherwinVerdun @cebumd so it also has something to do with the INSTANT CULTURE. people are used to get everything NOW NOW NOW #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd sometimes patients dont go back to doctor with adverse drug events, they just switch doctors. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@JKatzaman We always fear what we do not know #HealthXPh
Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
T2. Long waiting time, economic issues, anxiety (scared to get diagnosed). #healthxph https://t.co/lw7j3BzXub
Tom @MATom_MD
Numerous info in the www for free. No judgement. No stigma. Unfortunately, there are also many misinfos causing harm. #HealthXPh https://t.co/MNWdwUxN5j
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd I grow impatient when patients CANT REMEMBER their questions, so I advise them to list down all their questions ahead of time #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@helenvmadamba @cebumd Not exactly instant. Behavioral economics says the decision-making should easy #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam Goodness, you can do it... a walk in the park! #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@helenvmadamba @SherwinVerdun this may also explain not waiting for tom''s MD appointment, they post lab results online n ask others what their results mean #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jamesgarciano sexuality is an elephant in the room, taboo to talk about. #healthxph need to remove the elephant.
JR Ong @jrong13
@YinkaVidal #HealthXPh thanks for sharing your ideas!
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jamesgarciano today we talked about HIV with adolescents #healthxph we spoke words like sex, IV drugs, MSM, teenage pregnancy ...
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
T3. How do we address these two related issues? #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@payo_o there is still a lot we can improve with the PH health system, but we are surely improving IMHO. #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@YinkaVidal ok. have a goid day Yinka. Thanks for sharing your thoughts #healthxph
JR Ong @jrong13
#HealthXPh probably a precursor of post-truth era? Due to internet, doctors dont hold the authority anymore to information.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@TekiTejam precisely. my personal example of self-medication, hehehehe #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@cebumd @helenvmadamba This may confirm how social Filipinos are. We can therefore use that asset to correct the behavior (social learning theory) #HealthXPh
Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
Tried assisting in a clinic.Sometimes pts forget to ask questions while face-to-face with the doctor.Remembers when theyre abt to leave. 😄 https://t.co/v9kF8ErHXu
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@SherwinVerdun i wonder if there is such a doctor or medical student who would be interested in researching health economics. sounds greek 2 me. #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
#healthxph T3 is already up. T3. How do we address these two related issues?
JR Ong @jrong13
#HealthXPh T3: A drastic "break" in the norm. Regulation of releasing meds from pharmacies. I observed this to be effctive in the past yrs.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 @TekiTejam @cebumd what was it? Simply sugar? Anything that would possibly help, in our desperation. #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 @TekiTejam @cebumd I wonder if this is still available and if any of the med students are still taking this... #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@YinkaVidal take care Yinka! #HealthXPh pray also for the Philippines. our CHR annual budget is PHP1,000 ~$20.
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
I think empathy among doctors should help encourage patients to open up more and not be "afraid" approaching their MD #healthxph
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba
Sorry to miss out today. I'm accompanying @AnthonyCFO to his eye exam. #HealthXPh https://t.co/25buAXsAHo
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jamesgarciano boils down to mental health, reducing stigma, providing an enabling environment #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@cebumd According to experts, most diseases are behavioral. Hence, right behavior-enhancing should lay the environment for change #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 @SherwinVerdun I STRUGGLED with health economics during my masters in public health - good thing my mom&brothers are econ majors #HealthXPh help w homework
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@ShereesePubHlth @AnthonyCFO hope everything will turn out fine Shereese #healthxph
JR Ong @jrong13
#healthxph and also, social marketing. How to change behavior of patients. We need a good health promo.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
We need to maximize social media and BE local DrGoogles so that patients can be somewhat guided NOT to self-diagnose #healthxph https://t.co/HW84fIfCjD
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd @YinkaVidal keeping my fingers crossed, or maybe I will donate if I can... #HealthXPh
JR Ong @jrong13
#healthxph stronger regulation. Probably check the models in other countries how they prevent self medication.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@cebumd there should be more public health lectures and lay fora to educate patients as to WHEN to consult #healthxph like we do for pregnant pts.
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@ShereesePubHlth @AnthonyCFO take care Shereese! I hope your week was not too stressful.. #HealthXPh
JR Ong @jrong13
#healthxph For example, antiTB meds. There's a proposal now that only the govt will purchase antiTB meds.Pharmacies wont be allowed anymore.
Tom @MATom_MD
Px: Doc may ubo ako 5 days na. Dr: o bakit ngayon ka lang nagpa check? Scenario why some pxs prefer the www for diagnosis. #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@jrong13 More on behavior change communication than socmar #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@jrong13 on our end @DialysisPh support group, we are educating our fellow patients encouraging them not to self-diagnose/self-medicate. #healthxph
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@SherwinVerdun @cebumd ...and behavior is the most difficult to change! #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jamesgarciano liberal in some ways but ultra-conservative in others #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@SherwinVerdun @jrong13 This issue i agree is really related to communication #healthxph
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman
T3 Communication and better information that people can relate to are the best means to overcome wives' tales and superstitions. #HealthXPh
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@helenvmadamba @cebumd The more we need behavioral economics #HealthXPh
JR Ong @jrong13
@SherwinVerdun Promoting again this 5-control knob framework in health sector reform. Behavioral change is one of them. #healthxph https://t.co/oLiwuwJ6qq
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@jrong13 so that patients cannot self-medicate. hmmm, would it work? or hinder access? #healthxph
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@admincaio do not forget to add #healthxph when you tweet on this topic. hehe
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@t0m_md kung alam lang ni doctor ang pinagdaanan ko para makarating dito... true, we have no idea about their struggles and we dont ask #healthxph

Patient are very much hesitant to ask doctors but tend to ask other patient probably because they are in the 'same boat' i guess #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
To my students online, keep up your digital presence. You have a responsibility to guide pts to seek consult & not self-diagnose #healthxph
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
Almost did not notice an hour has passed. thanks for taking part in tonight's #healthxph tweetchat. Learned a lot. Good day!
Sherwin Verdun @SherwinVerdun
@jamesgarciano @helenvmadamba Because it's easy (behavioral economics again) #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@JKatzaman True Jim, there are still a lot of persisting misconceptions. #HealthXPh
caio ricerra @admincaio
@cebumd So when is the right time to ask for an 2nd opinion? #HealthXPh
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba
@admincaio @cebumd when you do not agree with your doctor. it is your right as a patient to seek 2nd opinion. #HealthXPh
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
Here is hoping in our own little way, we can educate patients regarding these issues. #healthxph
Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco
Doctors only act that way due to frustration at the way some patients handle their health care. And in turn: pts become avoidant#healthxph https://t.co/cc6YvWovu9

Suzette Yu @sosweetsuzette
@cebumd T3. Primarily by raising awareness (cliche but still the answer). #healthxph
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@admincaio that is a question that has no uniform answer i think. #healthxph
Tom @MATom_MD
@TheTigerMudra This happens a lot especially sa ER or OPD clinics. Doctors shud be reminded why they are doctors. To heal. To comfort. #HealthXPh
Tom @MATom_MD
@thestreetgazer Usually outpatient. This scenario happens a lot. Minsan ER dawn. "Limang araw mo na palang tiniis yan bakit ngayon lang?" #healthxph
Tom @MATom_MD
@helenvmadamba Nawawala na minsan ang empathy. There are pxs who have difficulty opening up to strangers like doctors. #healthxph
caio ricerra @admincaio
@cebumd Someone asked this to me, dumbfounded on how to answer it. Says really just doesnt like her doc.. #healthxph
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd
@admincaio trust is very important to a doctor-patient relationship #healthxph
Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco
@t0m_md We have to consider that some of these doctors have been working long shifts, and might be on short fuses from overwork. #healthxph
