"Let me just say that it's very disappointing, to say the least. Because even among doctors, siguro kung kami 'yon dahil kami 'yong staff do'n , we might be prioritized," Dr. Gene Nisperos, board member of the Community Medicine Development Foundation, told ANC.
Roque was admitted at the PGH on Saturday for his second bout of COVID-19. He had denied using influence to secure hospital treatment while most hospitals in the capital region were swamped with patients fighting the disease.But for Nisperos, who teaches at the UP College of Medicine, selfishness is unchristian.Roque said Thursday he was set to be discharged after nearly a week in hospital. He was able to hold press briefings while recuperating at the PGH.
"Nasa ordinaryong room po ako," Roque said, in response to speculation that he might have used a PGH room reserved for President Rodrigo Duterte.
He deserves to have the best medical care he can muster just as any. That’s not unchristian. But not admitting that he did and brushing aside questions to the same, that is unchristian.
Pero VIP ng PGH ay Unchrisitian!
