Filipinos are very adept at haggling over price tags. Some of us have the reputation of always bargaining for the lowest possible figure but, at the same time are very choosy! I can vividly recall walking into a specialty store abroad and, finding the article that I wanted, I asked the well-dressed saleslady for the cheaper version. The poor woman stared at me wide-eyed and exclaimed, "You mean, less expensive!"
The taste of the rum on my chocolate cake was subtle yet elegant; the coffee was strong but not imposing. The conversation was delightful. A patient I had recently operated on has invited me over for coffee. She wanted her friends to meet her Plastic Surgeon. Since I don't actively advertise my private practice, personal endorsement is the closest I can get to marketing my profession.
There is a general acceptance of cosmetic surgery now compared to the past.
I believe cosmetic surgery is here to stay despite the downturn of the recent economic recession, or despite the advent of a plethora of non-invasive procedures that attempt to mimic the results of surgery.
I walked down the familiar halls of the operating room complex, unperturbed by the rush of activity even at that early hour of the morning. As expected, it was going to be another busy day. As I stepped into the operating theatre assigned to me, the sign plastered on the door caught my attention.
