Another memoir from a Filipino author that I highly recommend, Some Days You Can’t Save them All is the author’s story of perseverance and passion for serving the people.

Encompassing anecdotes during Dr. Ronnie Baticulon’s time studying premed as part of UP’s INTARMED scholar up to moments where he had to render time in the Philippine General Hospital as intern which then transitioned to him being a resident neurosurgeoun, SDYCSTA is a testament of how Filipino doctors, nurses, and health professionals are severely underpaid given the significance of their role. And it all comes back to how health service is not being prioritized by the government.

5stars, I had to pause since some chapters are a bit trigerring but this book reminded me why I respect the health sector folks second close to teachers!
