1) magkanu po ba ang MRI scan sa may bewang pababa? nahihirapan kasi maglakad ang uncle ko eh.
2) saan yan affordable ang bayad yet quality naman yun images nya para madaling makita. sana meron mura yun below 5k. thanks Doc. :thanks:

Totoo na ba ito mga admin,

May sarili ng thread para kay doc V ? WOW if so then this is just great, finally admin maybe you can compile here previous discussions or replies or maybe advice of doc V on topics regarding health hazards for PHM DIYers doing their personal projects. I know maybe you'll say added workload na naman ito, e mga admin e for the benefit naman ng entire PHM community ito.


Siguro yung every discussion na ma co compile will have its own topic or title for easy reference sa mga babasa, uy mga admin excited ako sa thread na ito. :p :p :p

Marami pong salamat. :thanks:

siguro much better kung magpa consult muna sa orthopeadic surgeon or neurologist ang uncle mo. Kasi ang alam ko walang murang MRI view, last time I'ved heard the cheapest view w/o contrast would cost around 8-10k, sa province yan. Sayang kasi kung magpa MRI sya tapos di naman pala kelangan. HTH

Ok, Doc, a real serious one.

Haven't done any woodworking in years. Am 50 years old (with a body of a 20 year old!!! I wish). Decided to take up the hobby again by building a boat about a year ago.

Now, noticed that I can't clench my empty hands into a tight fist without pain in the middle joints of my pointer and middle fingers in both hands. Am I just overextending myself? Is this a sign of my fading youth?

Some useful info: I haven't noticed any deterioration in my strength but I find I rest more often (probably laziness).

seriously, do you handle chemicals like lacquer? I met someone who said that these chemicals have a tendency to reduce the size of your vein with continuous use. I have had a similar occurence before when I started spray painting, now I wear gloves when I handle chemicals... well if I remember :D

Amen Brader! I was told that some solvents have been known to cause internal organ problems. The LIVER in particular is affected but missed most of the time coz people suspect the lungs more when it comes to solvents or petroleum products. :confused::eek::detective:

Copy that. Through the years, been careless with paints, lacquer, putties, etc. Never used gloves. Ngayon lang when I started epoxy. I guess when you're young you feel invincible. Pero pag tumatanda na, you get wiser.

thanks Oz for creating this thread. i just dont know why you are itching to make this thread...perhaps your hands are ithing due to welding related activities hehe.

first things first...i would like to remind everyone that this thread will not in any way promote any drug or medication..i will also not advise you to have this and that...and this thread is not to be considered my "clinic"...i would like to inform everyone that for you to have a good evaluation by a doctor, you need to be physically present in front of him..so you can forge a doctor-patient relationship...whom you can trust all what you are feeling..so when you tell these things to him he can arrive at a correct diagnosis and ultimately the correct treatment.(sorry i will use the masculine form to refer to a doctor..because in the olden times...there were no women doctors, just nurses or assistants..in fact the father of obstetrics is a male doctor!..there is no "mother" thing in medicine or in science in general)...

but i would like to give you ideas of this and that only to the extent of my knowledge.. i will not claim to know everything..for a doctor who claims to know everything in medicine is something scary!

you do not know my field yet...i am a pathologist by specialty, seen only most of the time inside the dungeon/lab and away from the crowd..a good pathologist should know everything about a disease process, how it came about, its treatment, its course with or without treatment and how the body parts will look like when that part is diseased to the very detail of it under the microscope..pathology is at the forefront of diagnostics//molecular biology..transplantation would no be possible without pathology...we are the doctors doctor..surgeons usually are our clients who operate on patients..and they send to us these body parts or lumps they take out to know whether they are cancerous or not..in short we are sentenshadores..hehe...we are the supervisors inside the laboratories..whom the medtechs consults..we should know how to interpret lab findings..we need to know if the machine is mulfunctioning..for nowadays..most lab tests are machine generated..and certainly we must not be fooled by machines..and they need to be calibrated at times.

when we have medical conferences in the hospital, we are usually the last ones to speak...to give them the exact cause of death and how the lab tests and other things will fit into the picture..these conferences called clinicopathologic conferences are but a must for a training hospital..here the budding surgeon or internist gets the clearer picture..and so he learns from his mistakes...dont get me wrong..these training doctors are under the supervision of the consultants.

not many doctors enter into this field..but i came to like this field because i have more time to do my hobbies...no patients waiting in the clinic..but dont get wrong again..i trained first in internal medicine with soooooo many patients having this and that ailments..but didnt finish and i quit simply because i was sympathizing already with patients/relatives when they only need is empathy...i havent told you my first love is architecture.

all our training was devoted to reading much thicker pathology books, get exposed to hazardous chemicals like formalin and solvents like xylene, to cook those body parts first before we get to examine them under the microscope and interpret things.

meaning to say..i cannot operate on an appendix, do a caesarian section or operate on your brain..but i can tell you all the types of tumor that your body parts can harbor...or when a surgeon tells you you have a Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma...i can tell better...i can also give you a guesstimate when its time to say goodbye.

1. Regarding MRI scan...
--usually a patient is already seen by a doctor/specialist who now requests for a scan.
--the hospital usually will ask for the request but you can always fake this of course as long as you have the money to pay for the scan
--yes a bit expensive than CT scan (e.g. CT scan of the head is around 3k-10k depending on the hospital..of course the most expensive if you go to the medical centers because of the hotel like patient lounges, courteous and often times pretty nurses and of course, the professional fee is much higher..for these specailist doctors are paying for their children studying in good schools and they drive good looking cars etc...)
--the cost of the scan depends on the part being examined...when its the bones, its much cheaper than let say your intestines or internal organs...also usually they need to inject a drug or commonly called contrast material...to see more clearly the organs of interest..sort of a background...but they dont come cheap and they add up to the cost..usually 3k-5k yung contrast.
--although a bit more expensive it is much healthy to have the mri than the ct scan...the mri just uses magnets, no radiation...on the other hand you get exposed to radiation to ct scan..(the contrast material is also but a hazardous material and you needed a good kidney to have it...this material is taken cared of by the kidneys...if you dont have good kidneys then this material will stay in your body for long..one good exmaple of contrast material is gadolinium..sounds like a nuclear power food!..ok google about it..)
-the reason why the scans are expensive is simply due to the cost of the machine...in 2000 perhaps, the cost of a surplus ct scan would fetch at around 30 million..and due to technology they are coming up with.. newer machines that are more powerful (in terms of clarity of the images)...the current machine boasts of "128 slice" but equally the same when you have just a 64 slice ct scans..the mri's dont have these "slices" but rather..they improved on the diameter of the opening trays..for mri have limits in terms of capacity.. body diameter and weight..if you are overweight and too biggie, you wont fit in that hole! (kindly google the picture of the mri)
--if your uncle havent seen a doctor yet..then i would advise him to see one first..perhaps a rehab/orthopaedic specialist..but you know sometimes, there are pains that are only referred pains and not the actual source of pain..and thats the reason why elsewhere (in the UK), you have to be seen by a general practitioner before you get to see a specialist...in the philippines when you have the money, you can be seen by a specialist instantly..and instantly so..can drain your pocket due to extensive tests that they request..because there is often a connotation that these specialists are "thinking more"...hehe..sometimes it pays to see a specialist right away than be seen by a gp...but nowadays we are bringing back another name for the GP thing..it is now a specialty and we call it family medicine..these doctors will train for four years and rotating in different areas of the medical specialty..they can treat newborns, pregnant, minor traumas, circular saw accidents and other what nots.

more to come..gotta prep myself and see the lab...eat apples or better fruit salad to keep the doctors at bay.

newborns till childhood--very much dependent on parents..
teens--puppy love, crush, body piercing, etc.., justin bieber,peer pressure (inom/yosi..trying out new things..)
20's--careless, freewilly, nagbibilang ng girlfriends/boyfriends, driving under the influence of...
30's-work and relationship..
40's-more work to feed more mouth, declining vision, hi blood sets in..., nanunud na ng CNN/BBC, concern na sa global warming, concern how to economize, stove versus electric water heater...trying out to repair a leaking pipe ending up spending more buying tools for this and that..hehe
50's-thinking of retiring..finding out new things..like gardening..naglulupa in short...kinakausap na mga halaman at bulate...nagiging palasimba na...
60's--frequents more the church...and excited to get a senior citizen card..hahahaha!


so where do you belong guys???
you may chime in to add more! hehe

that "frozen" pain in your hands? its called osteoarthritis, from overuse...dont worry its gone by noon time..di ba? hehe..remember ligaments become old as well..and become less stretchable and stiff and so you feel pain..but once the ligaments are stretched then the pain goes away..it could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis as well.

a good day po sa inyo mga masters..

meron na po siya referral from an orthro experts at meron din siya reseta at nag take siya ng potassium supplement for now po. totoo po niresetahan siya ng pain reliever na ibrufupen (mahal ang presyo).

actually po sir nandito kami sa zambales at walang MRI scan dito except po sa BAY POINT HOSPITAL in SBMA pero none operational pa daw ( meron ng yung MRI machine pero wait na lang daw yun malaking aircon para sa scanning room)

so no choice sila kundi ang magbyahe to manila para diyan magpa scan. due to limited budget po eh sa Delos Reyes ata sila pupunta. meron po ba kayo maisuggest na alternative or mairekomendang hospital....

@zerointense,

incidentally, i am also a consultant pathologist at Baypointe Hospital in Subic but the hospital is still young to be fully operational..more things to fix before we can operate fully..The expensive MRI (now may cost about 50-75 million pisotas) needed to be housed in an aircon room with solid flooring due to its weight and of course due to the vibration while it is being operated.

i dont think Jose Reyes have an MRI, perhaps its Delos Santos Medical Center in Quezon city rotunda..

Remember, that MRI is only diagnostic and will not treat your uncle..id like to ask a few more questions but id like to limit on answering your question...yes the scan is a bit expensive because the machine is expensive..the return of investment buying that machine cannot be possible if we lower down the price..i had twice MRI scans at Cardinal Santos involving my abdominal organs and cost me a total of 43k, i had the CT scan sept last year for the chest and abdomen for 32K..i had the embolization procedure at the Medical City for 150K...money spent that can already buy a decent 2nd hand car btw..but doing these things can give me piece of mind of what i really have...me discount ako for being a doctor and my surgeons dont charge me a single centavo for their professional fee. that i guess are the things i need to be thankful of being a doctor...but sometimes being a doctor more so if a pathologist is a pain in %&#% when you have become the patient yourself..you tend to imagine morbid things due to symptoms you experience...and finally the only thing that can save you from losing your sanity is Him.

I hope your uncle will be healed soon. He must be dear to you.

i cannot thank you enough guys..just being here in the site makes me want to live a hundred years more...there is simply unlimited things to be tapped and learn di ba?

but i am sure i have tapped the best guys here!

and hoping we always practice safety..like i was told safety should be observed always..

remember my toe nail hit by a foot long angle bar? it is healing sooo fast! :cool: meaning to say my liver is functioning well to produce ingredients for wound healing, and clotting factors to stop the bleeding..the liver isnt only an organ to store foodstuffs to be used as energy but makes a lot of chemical substances to help us live...and what is amazing about it is that it can regenerate when you remove part of it unlike your lung, kidney, brain or the heart for that matter..it has lots of function and thats the reason why its one of the heaviest organs second only to skin!

but i am not here to restrict you from drinking occasionally...if you have a diseased liver then i would advice you to limit or stop if you can from taking alcoholic bev..

with an organ that big, drinking beer a day wouldnt do a lot..believe that it can manage to clean you off that thing anyway.

what i worry about is smoking...we live in metro manila and our air here is so polluted..many of my autopsy cases who lived on average 5 years in the metro with no smoking history has arleady this permanent black thing (called anthracotic pigments) in their lungs..this thing can solidify the lung and makes it unexpandable..in due time...they group together and further limit lung expansion..the beginning of what we call chronic obstructive pulmonary disease..di ka naman mamamatay agad dun...madali ka na nga lang hingalin..kaya nga i spent a day or two in nueva ecija for clean air..pero cabanatuan is already polluted due to more than 50K tricycles (excluding the single bikes) plying all of the city roads.

tama ka ossie, less smoke ang special nihonweld 6013! di baleng mahal basta ba less fumes..tutal hobby lang naman di ba? i dont plan to make it for a living..but i can teach someone eventually for his livelihood..that is my goal.

there is truth to that.beer more healthy than softdrinks!

Hindi totoo yan! *hic* :drunk:

Honestly, I don't drink beer. Not that I avoid it but I just like the taste of it but I times it tastes better when ice cold. Most of the time I just avoid it because I might start to get addicted to it which will make my situation worse since I'm already overweight. What I am guilty of is drinking hard drinks like Tequila and Vodka which I find more interesting and flavorful and my silent enemy is coffee as I drink at least 3 cups a day (which I think is bad) :lotsocoffee:

I do have one consultation as well for you Doc. There are rimes where I feel my hands to be numbing, not that I cannot feel it but the feeling that it's going to get numb. I usually (but not every time) feel this while eating when holding utensils.:eat:

the first of bottle of ice cold beer to me is as tasty as a sparkling water...i dont why the second bottle becomes less interesting..the only reason why i dont drink beer anymore is getting the migraine the following day.:(

@jarod,
do you hold your spoon and fork like you are always in a fine dining? too much flexing at the wrist area compresses the nerves that supplies the hand and fingers..it could be carpal tunnel syndrome...because these nerves (ulnar) passes into a tunnel made by strap ligaments crossing your wrist..in severe form of these disease, they cut the straps in half so to liberate the nerves.

some people also develop this syndrome from ill designed keyboard tray..when the keyboard is higher than the elbows so as to produce flexing at the wrist area...if its just the feeling of numbness then its just mild..for frequent attacks accompanied by pain (some diabetic, overweight and hypertensive people can have attacks in cold weather/airconditioned rooms) not because of compression but due to limited blood supply going to these nerves..then you might try wrist supports.

wrist supports..available for both wrists (i.e. right and left) and cost varies from 400p a piece to around 1K depending on the store..Medical supplies stores in Bambang may sell for less but you have to scour the entire area to get the best deals..

like i say, it could be carpal tunnel syndrome..but not neccesarily so.

some people may advice you to take Vitamin B complex for the numbness (B1, B2, B6 for the nerves) but if you have a real carpal tunnel syndrome, a truckload of these B vitamins wont dent the symptoms in any way.

@timber,

yes good habits...and positive attitude..free your mind of stress..enjoy living.

stress put more stress to the heart.

problems will always come in the way..small or big..but looking back in those years...all your problems met their solution one way or another...di ba?

when there is no solution to a problem, i sleep on it.

for all i know...somebody up there is cooking the solution.

i just wait the following day or two to savour it.

i hope you guys change your attitudes toward life.

think about the things that you want.. not the things that you dont want..

for example, if you dont want to be late for work..do not strain your mind by thinking you dont want to be late for work..think "i will be early for work!"

and you will find the difference...

i regret having to discover this teachings relatively late..but there is still plenty of time out there in the sun.

naku..i went to HMR today and check the store myself for anything good find..bought some clamps and nitrile gloves..

anyway...me patient pa pala ako waiting here.

@oz,

kelan kaba huling napurga? hehehe

seriously, with the type of your work and hobby, i dont think you can gain extra weight if what you do is eat more...your body is simply efficient in burning those extra calories..coz you are still young.

but wait for some years when your body slows down in metabolism (usually beginning at age 30) then you'll become fatter especially at the belly area...:D

as long as you dont get sick often then its a sign that you are healthy one way or another.
