                    [Summary] => As a rejoinder to my column on the strong opposition by medical  practitioners to the House Bill No. 4955 (The Medical Malpractice Act of  2002)  filed in Congress, Dr. Phoebe Lim Catipon of the Philippine Medical Association sent me printed articles on a number of hospitals in the United  States having closed down because they could not afford the exorbitant  insurance premiums they have to pay. In some cases, there are fewer doctors  who will take on obstetrical cases for fear that a minor non-deliberate  infraction could cost them millions of dollars in insurance payments.

Dapat silang turuan ng ‘‘hygiene’’ at kabilang dito ang pagsisipilyo ng ngipin.

Ayon kay Dr. Joseph Catipon anak ng kilalang ophthalmologist na si Dr. Phoebe Catipon na dapat na ugaliing magsipilyo matapos kumain. Dapat na ang pagsisipilyo ay tumagal ng limang minuto at may tamang paraan dito. Ipinakita ni Dr. Catipon sa aming public service TV show ‘‘Mahal’’ ang tamang paraan ng pagsisipilyo.

Ito ang sinabi ni Dr. Phoebe Lim Catipon, isang refractive and cataract surgeon na nagpakadalubhasa sa United States at Russia.

Ayon kay Dr. Catipon ang mga mata ay dapat na laging malinis sa anumang dumi gaya ng alikabok, usok at insekto. Sinabi niya na ang mata ay kawangis ng kamera na kumukuha ng larawan. Ang retina ng mata ang kuma-capture kung ano ang nakikita at ang parteng ito ng mata ay napakasensitibo. Ang optic nerve, ayon kay Dr. Catipon ay dapat na ma-check-up bawat taon.
