PoppyFlower Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Hello, I am posting this on behalf of a friend. Her 8 year old son has presented with symptoms of rabies and was taken to the local hospital and has been given a treatment of shots over the past few weeks. He has now had a few episodes of seizures. We are concerned that he is not getting the right treatment and she does not seems to be getting any direction from his current medical care. Can anyone recommend an alternative doctor/hospital in the Clark area? We would like to get a 2nd opinion. thank you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogo51 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 About 7 years ago I was ill in Angeles and was taken to a Hospital on the way to Marcus Mall?, cannot remember the name of the hospital, but the treatment was excellent, only a general public hospital. Vague I know, but maybe someone knows the one I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dave Hounddriver Posted May 17, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 17, 2017 It is a common belief that St Lukes Hospital is the best on in the Manila area, probably all of Philippines. If it is worth a trip from Clark to Manila center then I believe that is where you will get your best "second opinion". Just my humble opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manila is a two hour drive worse case? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm sure you're aware, when dealing with rabies bites and possible symptoms, time is of the essence. Best to get that second opinion and help ASAP! I hope that it all works out well for your friend and her son. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
