I realize I have been remiss in introducing the first Filipino Medical Blog Rounds. Let me first say that this is the first medical blog carnival I’ve participated in, simply because I can relate more to the doctors participating in it…the Filipino Medical Doctor (who blogs), since we share a lot of similarities in […]

First, I’m having some trouble with adding plugins.

A smoker who doesn’t quit faces a multitude of illnesses in the future, […]
