Thank you @apmcsn for stepping up. Your FB statement sparked a very revealing conversation that I hope we can address in future projects too -> med student apathy.

I was apathetic in med school too. A far cry from "woke student council college Aura". I didn& #39;t bother asking about what didn& #39;t directly affect me, my scholarship status, my sanity after being 36 hrs awake. I put myself first to survive. So I& #39;m not surprised with the comments https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹️" title="Frowning face" aria-label="Emoji: Frowning face">

Pero alam nyo ba kung anong nagagawa ng apathy? Kapag cinonfine mo sarili mo sa bubble, when you stay neutral - you will be the first target of the "oppressors". Nakakahiya aminin pero nabiktima din ako nyan..

I graduated April 2016. One of my first tasks as an MD was to vote in the elections. Wala akong ibang alam non outside med so I voted accdg to my HOPES. Hopes na influenced pala by FB trolls who made it seem like they were the majority. If only I bothered to ASK bigger questions.

Med students pls wag kayo pumayag na mautakan kayo. Sayang ang talino. Pls believe me and other practicing doctors cos hindsight is always 20/20. Once you see for yourself, & you realize your position in society, you just can& #39;t stay silent. Makisali kayo ngayon pa lang. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">

The statement& #39;s call to action was spot on - for med students to GO BEYOND, to treat the social ills that plague our society.
