So ang ginawa natin, binigyan natin siya ng pain reliever kasi ‘di na natin kayang palakasin ‘yung legs niya, talagang mahina na. Ayoko din naman naman lagyan ng braces kasi mabigat din ‘yon,” Dr. Gabby Gutierrez said.Robert’s children were also given vitamins and cough and cold medicines.“Nakakatuwang isipin na ang primary health care ay naipapamahagi natin sa ating mga kababayan,” Dr. Jay-Jay C.
