“Mga tunay na kwento ng paggaling at malasakit. Sa KALINGAP, hindi lang sugat ang ginagamot — buong pagkatao ang inaalagaan.”
Ako po si Imee Fernando. Pag may ganito ka palang sakit, ma-experience mo lahat emotionally, physically lahat ng emotions. Lahat na lahat ng ano tatawagin mo na. Kasi on my part, mahirap yung sasabihin sayo na puputulin lahat yan. Tapos may isang hospital pa sa Manila na nagsabi sakin na before ha. Ang problem daw sakin is wala daw akong acceptance. And then pumunta nako dito sa Kalingap Wound care ng September 10. As far as I remember, na operahan ako ni Doc Tec. And then Nung nakita niya ung foot ko sinabi niya sakin na sino daw nagsabi na puputulin? Kasi sabi niya hindi naman kasing taas hindi naman natatamaan ung pinakailalim ng paa ko. Kay Doc Tec lang ako nagkaroon ng pag-asa. Nung sinabi na hindi, hindi puputulin yan. As much as possible, hindi ko puputulin yan kasi nakita naman niya na kaya pa doon sa computer na kaya pang siyang agapan – Imee Fernando
She had been to five different hospitals—each one telling her the same thing: an above-knee amputation was the only option. But she refused to accept that as her fate. That refusal led her to Kalingap. When we first met her, we could see the exhaustion in her eyes—she had been through so much. But behind that weariness was a quiet but unshakable determination: she was ready to fight for her foot, no matter what it took. And we were ready to fight alongside her. Together, through every debridement, dressing, and decision, she proved that sometimes, hope and persistence can change the outcome. Her foot was saved. And so was her independence, dignity, and strength. At Kalingap, we don’t just treat wounds—we stand by warriors.
Ako po si Genoveva Aniban, ako po’y patient ni Dr. Tec. Nung nakita ko ung paa ko parang wala ng pag-asa kasi ang pangit ng itsura niya. Tapos naka-uka siya tapos syempre andoon yung pangamba mo kung puputulin ba.
Laking pasasalamat ko kay doc kasi meron palang ganito. Ang lalim para wala ka ng pag-asa eh. Magkakaroon ka ng pag-asa na ganyan ang bumalik kasi at least magkakaroon ka ng pag-asa ng makapag trabaho ka, matutulungan mo ung pamilya mo.
Nang dahil sa paggagamot nila, sila yung naging daan para ung sugat ko gumaling
When Genoveva stepped on a BBQ stick, she never imagined it would turn into a nightmare. The infection spread and the pain became unbearable. It just her and her mom, and her inability to work stressed their finances.
Doctors offered little hope, only resorting to amputation. The fear of losing her foot consumed her. But desperation turned into hope when she arrived at Kalingap where she was offered alternatives.
Through expert care and unwavering determination, Genoveva fought through the pain and uncertainty. Slowly her foot began to heal. Her time and effort and her trust in Kalingap saved her foot, and now she can walk with pride. Her story is one of resilience and the power of not giving up – even when the odds seem impossible.
Ako po si Amelia, 47 years old. April 2022, may naramdaman na ako nong parang may masakit sa dulo ng aking hinlalaki pero hindi ko siya pinansin. After noon pag-uwi ko, yun nga nakita ko nga ung dulo ng darili ko parang may paltos siya.
Tapos kinabukasan, naglaba ako tapos nakita ko nagtubig siya dahil nababad ung paa ko sa tubig. After noong, pagkaganun sa kanya bigla nalang siya nangitim maliit na maliit na part lang yun, nangitim siya. Pagkatapos noong nangitim niya, noong pinatingin ko siya sa iba, ayun binigyan ako ng gamot. Gamot lang, antibiotic. Akala nila ordinaryong sugat lang kasi nga paltos lang pagkakasabi ko. Hindi ko alam na may bacteria na pala sa loob. Hanggang sa tumagal siya mga dalawang buwan ata akong antibiotic pero wala pa rin nangyari. Bale dalawang doctor tumingin sakin ang sabi na parehas na puputulin ung paa ko na hanggang dito.
Si Doc Tec concern siya sa pasyente. Di siya ung klase ng doctor na sige na okay na putulin nalang natin yan. Wag na nating pagtiyagaan parang ganun. Umokay naman ung pakiramdam ng paa ko tsaka ung dating bulky na paa ko bumabalik siya sa normal. Nakabalik nako sa trabaho after 1 month. Ang Kalingap kasi ang may concern at may malasakit sa mga pasyente nila. Nagpapasalamat ako naiitindihan nila ung sitwasyon namin kaya ganun sila samin.
For two agonizing months on antibiotics, Amelia fought a losing battle against a stubborn infection. What started off as pain and a blister on her thumb worsened into necrosis. Two different doctors viewed her blackening thumb, and both concluded the same solution: to cut off her wrist. Amelia couldn’t believe it and wondered what will happen to her life.
The though of amputation was haunting, and she imagine everything she wouldn’t be able to do anymore. But then, she found hope.
Amelia arrived at Kalingap, desperate for an alternative. She met a team of specialists and learnt that amputation was not the only solution. And with a tailored treatment plan and diligent care, Amelia saw progress. Within a month, she was able to go back to work.
Amelia’s journey is a testament to the power of expert care, perseverance, and the unwavering human spirit. Our wound care specialists are determined to explore every possible treatment option before resorting to amputation. At Kalingap, we believe in fighting for every possibility before considering the unthinkable — because sometimes, a second chance is all it takes to change a life.
Ako nga po pala si Nixon Castro, barbero ako, 50 years old, nagstart yung sugat ko sa paa noong nabaha kami noong July 24. Nakatapak po ako ng pako. Noong time na’yon, nagself
medicate ako ng 1 week. Di uminom ng gamot, akala makakaya o gagaling. Nagkaroon siya ng impeksyon. Mahirap po kasi hindi ka makapagtrabaho. Pamilya ko po, mga apat na studyante may mga pangangailangan sa school.
Yung proseso sa Kalingap, maganda ang proseso. Kailangan mo lang talaga magtiyaga, magkaroon ng tiwala sa sarili mo kasi alam mo naman sa sugat kailangan matagal yan, kailangan ng tiyaga para maghilom yan. Yung pagbabago ng sugat ko siguro mga 3 weeks malaking pagbabago.
Malaking pagbabago kasi nakikita ko sa sarili ko na gagaling yung sugat ko at makakabalik ako sa trabaho. Magiging masaya ulit ang pamilya.
Sa mga kagaya ko na nagkaroon ng sugat or yung sugat ng ibang tao, kailangan magtiwala kayo sa sarili niyo, lakasan niyo loob niyo at magtiwala kayo sa doctor na laging nakasubaybay sa inyo. Sa ibang doctor na nakatingin sa ganitong kalagayan ang sasabihin nila is puputulin agad eh. Kaya simula nung nakilala ko si Dr. Tec nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob. Tumatatag sa isip ko na gagaling ako dahil andyan kayo.
Being a father of four students, Nixon was the provider in his family. But one misstep – a nail hidden beneath floodwaters – changed everything for Nixon. Thinking it would heal, he self-medicated. Instead, the infection spread, and he was unable to continue working.
As his foot worsened, so did his despair. He started doubting, wondering if he can even get better. Then, he found Kalingap, which offered him hope. While other doctors told him to cut his foot off, Kalingap gave him a reason to believe.
Determined to fight, Nixon put his trust in the process and in three weeks, everything has changed. While he is still not back at work, he saw himself getting better.
Nixon’s story is one of resilience, faith, and the unwavering power of expert care. Wound care is a joint effort. Believe in your doctor, but also believe in yourself. Fight for yourself because no one knows your body better for you. Nixon did just that and refused to give up. Now, he walks toward a future he once feared he’d never have.
