St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center

I gave the laboratory test sample at around 1230pm. But still without urinalysis results was not available at 2pm. It is disappointing because some hospital/clinics can provide the results within 30 mins.

Excellent service. The best hospital in the vicinity. For those people complaining that they waited long to be seen by the ER Doctor and the staffs has no sense of urgency. Emergency is defined as a situation wherein a patient is in a very serious and life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. When not attended to promptly, it may cost the patient's life, or at least it will have some long-term consequences on the patient's quality of life. Examples are trauma (accidents, gunshot, stabbing, etc), shock, stroke, heart attack, respiratory distress, severe pain of any origin, etc. This definition of emergency was not created by patients, but by professional health care providers. HINDI IKAW (not you). ✌ Non-emergency cases are seen in the hospital's out-patient department (OPD), or in your private doctors' clinics, or by your HMO-accredited physicians and clinics. UNFORTUNATELY, many emergency rooms still cater to OPD cases because patients (or their HMOs) pay for the services they receive in the ER. Of course, the hospital will earn money from attending to them. But this doesn't mean that these patients are entitled to the immediate medical attention that the ER promises to REAL emergency cases. Again, who qualifies and classifies patients whether they are emergency or non-emergency cases? The hospital staff, NOT YOU. ✌ Therefore, when you are asked to wait, please do so. The ER is not an express lane OPD. The ER does not provide convenience for self-entitled patients so that they could be seen and attended to immediately. Unless the nurses and doctors say that your case is critical and is a real emergency, you have no choice but to wait for your turn. The ER has a system called the TRIAGE; a process of assigning the degree of urgency depending on your illness. In the hospital setting, critical patients are always prioritized first. The less urgent cases are seen last. NEVER question our medical judgment. You can go to the ER and say that you are dying. But if our initial assessment in the triage area tells us otherwise, then you are the least of our priorities. Being least prioritized does not mean that you will not be attended to. It simply tells you that you are STABLE ENOUGH to wait for your turn. Remember, the ER personnel are FOR YOU and NEVER against you. The ER is open 24/7, always prepared and ready to help you. But the efforts of the ER staff and doctors are always to the BEST INTEREST OF THE WORST CASES seen in the ER. PS: We understand that during your free time, the OPD or clinics might already be closed, hence you proceed to the ER. But you will still undergo the same process of being triaged; and if yours is non-urgent, you should patiently wait for your turn. ✌ I really wish that there is some way to educate the general public regarding the primary health care system. In this way, people will also recognize whether what they are feeling qualifies as an emergent or non-emergent case. Please do not get offended after reading this post. Because when the time comes that you get in to a REAL emergency situation (knock-on-wood), the Emergency Room, all its staff and doctors, will be ready for you. Our energy will be focused on making you better.

The first time I came to St Cabrini Medical Center for my radiation I felt comfortable seeing the information staffs very accommodating , respectful & friendly. A cancer patient like me is looking forward for a good treatment at this hospital. During the process the staffs performing my radiation are very caring too. I told myself I am in good hands. Foremost I was given a very good & humble Radiation Oncologist, Dr Hizon who have been very patient & was always there to check on all his cancer patients including myself. For these I am very thankful to all of the staffs of the Radiation Dept for the attention & care & almost personalize service to the Cancer patients. More power to you!

Hirap ang parking on Monday morning. Comfort room sa old bldg needs improvement. Mabilis ang approval ng HMO kaso meron silang separate na queuing for OPD which we wait 2 hours before macheck up. Advise is get 2 queue numbers at the same time (HMO approval and OPD) to lessen the waiting time. OB doctor is good. Daming fast foods nearby.

First in SEA to be accredited by NABH. The treatment is very good and the staffs too
