From what I recall, Peter displayed nothing short of professionalism during my stay at Makati Medical Center. I was accompanying my father who has been confined for almost a month. Peter is friendly and approachable, he always somehow starts a conversation with both patients and watcher/s, making people more comfortable and 'at home'.

During the time we were there and it was his shift, Peter taught me how to perform the suction treatment for my dad who has a tube in his throat, as well as maintenance and how to clean everything. While performing his duties, he also explained in detail how things should be done -- in a way even people from a non-medical field (like me) could understand. I have to learn how to do the suction treatment because dad will be going home with the tube in his throat until his scheduled second chemo and I have to take care of him. So, while still at the hospital I really need to observe doctors and nurses and see how things are done. The first time I gave my dad the suction treatment I kept in mind what Peter taught me previously and I got it right the first time. My dad liked it, and even Peter's senior (a nurse) was impressed at how I cleaned dad up too and changed his gauze.

When I go to the Pantry, I see Peter is very dedicated to his work, moving from one room to another or being very focused on the nurse station computer. He is very attentive and well-prepared with that little kit on his leg filled with med supplies, so wherever he goes he can always perform his best. Usually learning to do medical-related care at home is intimidating, especially when you are not used to it, but the way Peter taught me somehow made my anxieties fade a bit and his teachings gave me some more confidence to do it.

I'm at home now and still taking care of my dad but I've been doing much better as compared to my first try at suction treatment at the hospital, mostly thanks to this nurse. Nurses like him and their simple words and teachings can go a really long way -- even outside of the hospital.
