Compassionate Communities

Our patient with dementia, Maria*, needed hospitalization because of chest pain. During this pandemic, having chest pain isn’t something you set aside. Around nine o’clock in the morning, our patient’s daughter, Ana*, messaged me that Maria, complained of chest pain and her blood pressure was lower than usual. I informed Dr. Nanette via private message. Further assessment was done via Telemed and medication was digitally prescribed by Dr. Nanette and was sent to Ana. While waiting for the purchase of medicine, pain was increasingly persistent. I asked them about their plans and Ana decided that her mother be brought to the hospital. I gave them the local emergency number of Muntinlupa City that they could contact. Ana decided to bring Maria the nearest hospital.
