This particular case involving a 21-year old son of  Talisay City Mayor Johnny delos Reyes together with his girlfriend where both of them needed immediate treatment at Mandaue District Hospital due to a second degree burn caused by a radiator hose explosion of their  own motorcycle and who were given a run-around by hospital staff who first subjected them to some requirements like a police report but no police report was presented  because no other vehicle was involved. And after one hour waiting when the victim's brother, Talisay City Administrator John Yre delos Reyes came over, they were told to look for another hospital because they ran  out of burn ointment. This will no doubt serve as an example of how lousy the MDH medical staff can attend to people who come to their hospital in an emergency case. An initial investigation would tell they have their hands full with other life threatening cases at the time  as one of the reasons given for their failure to accommodate the victims.

We don't know to what critical level is it for them to appraise a "second degree" burn suffered by the male victim but the clumsiness of the action that it took them after one hour to render judgment to tell them to go to another hospital is revolting to our common sense. If it happens to a Talisay City Mayor's son to receive such kind of lousy treatment how much more for the other victims who belong to the poor and the downtrodden who cannot take immediate action due to lack of mobility to transfer to another place?
