IDINAOS ang ikalawang araw ng Essential Pain Management program sa University of Santo Tomas Hospital (USTH) kung saan ibinahagi ng mga doktor mula sa Australia at Malaysia ang mga epektibong paraan ng pagtuturo nito sa mga “pain specialists” at nars sa Pilipinas.

Nagsama ang UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, Center for Pain Medicine ng Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetistsat ngPhilippine Pain Society upang tulungang maunawaan ng mga kasali sa programa ang kahalagahan ng “pain” pagdating sa pagaasikaso ng mga pasyente.

Ilan sa mga kalahok ay mga doktor, nars at Anesthesiologists na eksperto sa pain medicine.

     “Improve pain management worldwide by working with health workers at a local level,” ani ni Prof. Roger Goucke, Chairman ng Essential Pain Management sub-committee ng Australia and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists.

Layunin nila na sanayin ang mga kalahok sa pagbibigay ng mga seminar tungkol sa pain management para maibahagi din ito sa mga mag-aaral ng medisina.

      “You could use these ideas to teach anything, can be applied to other expertise… what you guys are gonna do is to sort out how you’re gonna teach tomorrow,” sabi ni Goucke.

Ayon sa mga kalahok, kulang daw sa pagbibigay-pansin ang mga doktor o nars sa bansa pagdating sa pain assessment ng mga pasyente.

When it comes to the clinics, it’s not being done. Based also on the survey we are currently conducting in terms of pain, we saw that even we have the vital signs monitoring sheet, pain scores are often left blank,” sabi ni Prof. Jocelyn Que.

Aside from that the nurses who record the score, usually they put 0-0-0 but if you try to ask the patient, it’s 5 or 7,” dagdag pa ni Que.

Sabi ni Goucke na ang Structure, Relevance at Interaction ang tatlong katangian ng pagtuturo na nababagay sa mga nakatatanda. Binubuo din ito ng mga lectures at group discussions.

Upang maging mabisa ang pagtuturo, kailangan taasan ang boses ng tagapagsalita, patawanin ang mga tagapakinig, tignan sila sa mata, at hingin ang kanilang opinyon para magkaroon ng interaskyon, ayon kay Mary Cardosa, consultant anaesthesiologist at pain specialist mula sa Malaysian Medical Association.

Hinati sila sa dalawang grupo kung saan tinignan kung paano magturo ang bawat isa at sinanay din sila na magbahagi ng mga ideya gamit ang group interaction.

Ang “Treatments of Pain”  (“pag-trato ng sakit”), “Why Should We Treat Pain?” (“Bakit kailagang tratuhin ang sakit?”) at “Advantages of Treating Pain” (“Mga benepisyo ng pag-trato ng sakit.”) ay ilan lang sa mga paksa ng lektiyur.

Galing ang mga kalahok sa St. Lukes-Quezon City, St. Lukes-Global City, Manila Doctors Hospital, Manila Central University, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, at sa College of Nursing ng UST.

The Faculty of Civil Law has started its investigation over a brawl between two fraternities that happened in the University last week.
As the probe started Monday, Nov. 14, Civil Law Dean Nilo Divina hopes to get the “whole picture” of the incident.
“We haven’t discerned the identity of those responsible or involved yet,” Divina told TomasinoWeb in a phone interview.
The fact-finding committee will be headed by Judge Philip Aguinaldo, coordinator of the Student Welfare and Development Board of Civil Law together with former Civil Law Dean Lope Feble and Civil Law professor Amado Tayag.
The committee is expected to decide on what sanctions will be imposed upon those involved in the incident.
Divina assured that the investigation will be finished as soon as possible.
In a memorandum signed by Divina last Nov. 10, all members of the Gamma Delta Epsilon Fraternity and Aegis Juris Fraternity are not allowed “to enter the campus or the Faculty of Civil Law or attend classes until further orders” following the fistfight between its two members.
“It’s not in a position of sanction, only preventive in nature and the purpose, being to prevent the incident from further escalating,” Divina explained.
The two fraternities are still mum on the issue. TomasinoWeb tried to get a statement from the two groups, but both declined to comment.
Gamma Delta Epsilon and Aegis Juris have also been involved in a “standoff” in 2014 which led to the expulsion of one of the students involved.

Thomasian professor shows reality through exhibit

Published

on

Amazing stories are hidden beneath shadows, and that is where he is prowling, with his camera at hand, patiently waiting for the right moment to capture.
With an array of stunning photographs he shot at various places he has travelled to, Jun Barrameda, a Thomasian professor teaching at the College of Fine Arts and Design showcased his works at the Beato Angelico Building in an exhibit titled SOLO, which explored the manipulation of space and light.
Every piece is a reflection of what reality is to him—depicting the elegance of culture and the classical history embedded into each photo.
“Well, I see myself as an artist photographer and my works are a reflection of my own reality; not subjective, rather I wanted to sing my own song, my visuals are my own narrative based on the intentionality why I create those images,” Barrameda said.
The exhibit featured photos shot during eight years of travelling and a manuscript “dedicated to everyone who is into photography, most especially to the Thomasian artists of today.”
“The intention of my exhibit is an inspiration for those in pursuit in the completion of their theses in the coming years,” he said.
Finding the right lens

Jun Barrameda
Barrameda obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of Santo Tomas and got his master’s degree in Fine Arts and Design at the Philippine Women’s University where his collection, Photography: A Study of Light and Space was used for his master’s thesis.
His prowess in photography is recognized locally and internationally. His work titled Dugo at Kawayan won a bronze at the International Photography Awards and another piece titled Khmer Rouge earned the ASIAN Photography Award 2016 Featured Photograph.
Even with these achievements, he remains humble. “Progress comes along with age, and it is called maturity,” he said. “It took a journey of 40 long years of practice from advertising until today which I claimed to be an artist, working within the medium – photography, of which I love most.”
However, not everyone can handle this tedious process of following one’s passion—they are often disheartened in the middle of the journey. “The most difficult [person] to convince is yourself,” he said.
“But if you want to be successful, never be disheartened. Always have 100 percent self-confidence. Don’t ask Facebook likes to convince you; it is fake. Instead, believe in yourself that you are amazing.”
The mantra
“It’s my way of giving back.” He regarded his exhibit with pride, elated that he can finally impart his undying passion to his fellow Thomasians, especially to the University for nurturing him, and guided him in finding where his passion is.
“My message to the Thomasian community is be an artist—be a Thomasian artist. And to those who have love for photography, I will leave you three things: dedication and love, quality, and attitude (sic).”
