I think it couldn\u2019t have gone better. We had great resources available to us and great support across the board. And that, together with how motivated we were and our willingness to work hard, led to excellent results.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As doctors, we\u2019ve strengthened our knowledge and skills, losing our fears and also realizing that there\u2019s no limit to what medicine is. We have to keep on educating and training ourselves to be as good as we can be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>This experience makes you grow as a person<\/strong> and brings out the most humane side of you. There were some really hard days, days when many of us were crying. Sometimes we saw that we were too late and that there was nothing more to be done for a patient, when the problem they had would have been resolved long before back home with the resources available to us.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen stages of diseases that you only see in textbooks back home, things that we never imagined we\u2019d ever see, as in our hospitals these diseases are diagnosed at an early stage and not allowed to reach those stages of development. It\u2019s an absolute gut punch to see that and it makes you think how privileged we are to live where we live. But, at the end of the first week, <strong>you learn that you have to keep going, to be strong and to be happy to do the work we do.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without Dr Merck, this mission would have been impossible. She\u2019s put so much work into ensuring that the mission went ahead, raising money from everywhere to ensure we could help as many people as possible. You have to bear in mind that, to diagnose many of the things we saw, you need proper diagnostic tests and that costs a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>When I got back home to Spain, <strong>I realized that I\u2019d got so much more out of it than I\u2019d given<\/strong>. The people in the Philippines are really thankful for us being there and the smile they give you after each operation absolutely fills you with happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3164\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-315x236.jpg 315w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/medicina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/07\/medipinas7-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>The writers of the Medicine blog and the whole University would like to thank Raquel and Jorge for telling us about their experience and also the whole Medipinas team for doing such great work, year after year.
