[00:00:00]Here in the Philippines, especially in our culture, we have the bahala na.

[00:00:08]And this is a mindset na bahala na ang Diyos, so bahala na si God. Okay.

[00:00:14]>> So, whatever we feel, maybe a pain, an ache, maybe it's a back pain or joint pain, sometimes we also delay seeing a doctor because maybe this is something that's God-given that maybe God wants us to suffer. Uh is this something that you've seen in in uh your practice outside the Philippines compared with here?

[00:00:37]>> No, so outside the Philippines, like the fact to ask to So, it's they will deal with the pain, but it's not going to be like uh let's say religious mindset.

[00:00:48]It's going to be more about we are strong, we are not like weak people, so we will deal with the pain. That's a little bit the mindset. Pero here in the Philippines, you're right. That's what I can see a lot with the religious, but not only. There is also the mindset of like we are strong. Yes.

[00:01:07]>> I see that a lot. Yes, yes. That is true. And this mentality, we are strong, kaya pa nato, that means that oh I I I can do this.

[00:01:15]The pain is very minimal, so I can do this. I can tolerate this pain. And in Tagalog, they say tiis lang, so just deal with the pain.

[00:01:23]Uh what about patients that you've seen who have dealt with this pain?
