00:00Doctor, doctor, I am sick, but the prescription didn't work.
00:06Legit?
00:07It's like a doctor is a fool to check up and give a prescription alone.
00:13His patients don't know that the doctor doesn't have a license.
00:18The former medical records officer of a private hospital in North Caloocan,
00:23whose name we will hide in the name of Elaine,
00:26said that there is a doctor who checks up on patients even though they don't have a license.
00:32And the doctor who introduced her was even appointed as the new president of the hospital.
00:39The prescription was fine.
00:43The doctor who introduced her was even appointed as the new president of the hospital.
00:46The running of the hospital is fine.
00:50She is the most powerful.
00:52Until she died and the management changed,
00:57the doctor who introduced her arrived.
01:01She said that as a stockholder, she has the right to do her duty as a doctor,
01:07but she hasn't passed the board exam.
01:11Elaine couldn't stop her from worrying because the on-duty doctor is not a real doctor.
01:16Because of this, Elaine confronted the doctor whose name is Janelle Nicolas.
01:23At the meeting, when she was told that she will do her duty,
01:29I told her that she can't because she is not a licensed doctor.
01:34She accused me of misconduct.
01:36She started lowering my salary.
01:39Then she terminated me illegally.
01:42She was on duty as a general physician in a private hospital in North Caloocan
01:46of a woman who finished her medicine.
01:49But she is not a board passer.
01:52In the prescription given by the complainant, Elaine, to the operatives of the criminal investigation
01:57and detection group NCR,
01:59we can see that there are two lines on the other side of the paper.
02:03The name of a doctor who has a license number and next to it,
02:06the name of the doctor who introduced Janelle Nicolas
02:10that no one can see any license number.
02:14If you are an undergraduate trainee, there is a direct supervision.
02:18But that doctor is not physically present.
02:25According to the certificate from PRZ, Janelle Nicolas is confirmed without a license.
02:33In the investigation of the receipt,
02:36we obtained a copy of the document from the Professional Regulation Commission.
02:42It came out on October 2023.
02:45One of the accused.
02:47Among those who obtained the certificate,
02:49we also obtained the receipt of the list of those who committed a crime.
02:55The name of the accused is not on the list that I am holding now.
03:00On February 19, a surveillance and trapment operation was conducted
03:04by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group National Capital Region or CIDG-NCR.
03:15One of the agents of the CIDG pretended to be a patient.
03:19But before the doc can face the charges,
03:22he must first submit an asset in urinalysis
03:25and complete blood count or CBC in the amount of Php 480.
03:30He also paid the asset of Php 500 for the consultation fee.
03:37And while waiting for the result,
03:39the doctor was spotted while explaining to his patients.
03:44Wow! Doctor, you are very busy, huh?
03:53Later on, Jerem was about to enter his next patient.
03:57Unbeknownst to him, the CIDG was already operating in front of him.
04:04We can see here in the surveillance video
04:06that as soon as the asset entered the doctor's room,
04:10the doctor immediately explained the result of the urinalysis
04:15and the CBC of the patient who pretended.
04:19In the video, if you can hear,
04:22he explained here the possible cause of the patient's illness.
04:28And after a few minutes of explanation and giving medical advice,
04:33the doctor took his prescription
04:37and recommended antibiotics that the patient should take
04:41within 7 days.
04:45The asset indicated that the operatives
04:47who were about to give the prescription
04:49were the subject of unauthorized consultation
04:51or consultation with other doctors in the hospital.
04:58The operatives entered the room,
05:00Jerem was the last one to sign
05:03and the prescription was delivered to the patient.
05:08We verified it in PRC.
05:10So you were negative in the PRC records
05:14that you are a licensed doctor.
05:17So now, you gave a prescription,
05:21a clear violation of our Medical Act of 1959.
05:25Okay. Here's the thing, sir.
05:27We already have the DOH.
05:29Arrest him first.
05:31Arrest him first.
05:32Read it first.
05:33Wait a minute.
05:34Because we have the Medical Act of 1959.
05:38Now, under the Medical Act of 1959,
05:41graduate physicians are allowed to
05:44limited practice of medicine
05:46with the direct supervision of a licensed physician.
05:49Okay. Wait a minute, okay?
05:51Atty. Calo.
05:54Ma'am.
05:55Yes.
05:56Why are you here?
05:57No. Wait a minute, sir.
05:58Because, wait a minute.
05:59Someone went here.
06:01What's your name?
06:02CIDG.
06:03CIDG.
06:04Why are you here?
06:06Because this is an attorney.
06:08Wait a minute, sir.
06:10What? Attorney?
06:12You need to explain to the court first.
06:14Wait a minute.
06:15Ah, okay.
06:16Ah, is that so?
06:18I'm supposed to be an attorney.
06:22This is a scandal, ma'am.
06:23If you don't want to follow up, go ahead.
06:25Okay.
06:26Go ahead.
06:27Okay.
06:29No.
06:30You are under arrest under the
06:32Republic Act 4224
06:35or otherwise known as the
06:37Medical Act of 1959.
06:40You have the right to remain silent.
06:43Okay. I don't think I need that.
06:44You just need to get the documents.
06:46We just need the documents, ma'am.
06:47Ah, wait.
06:48Wait a minute.
06:49We just need the documents.
06:50Wait a minute.
06:51Wait a minute.
06:52I'm coming with you.
06:53You're coming with us?
06:54Yes.
06:55You're coming with us?
06:56Ah.
06:57You're coming with us?
06:58Sir, I'm coming with you.
06:59Okay, okay.
07:00You're coming with us?
07:01I'm coming with you.
07:06When the CID-GNCR arrived at the scene,
07:09the lawyer of the hospital arrived.
07:12He is the one who will give an explanation
07:14about the previous fights against Janelle.
07:16We admitted that Ms. Nicolás is not a licensed doctor,
07:21but she is a graduate of a medical course.
07:25Does Ms. Nicolás have a pay in the hospital?
07:27No.
07:28She has a pay as the president of the hospital,
07:31but she does not ask for payment from the people who consult her.
07:36So, that means, sir,
07:38where did the patients who were paid P500 per check-up go?
07:44I don't know that.
07:45I'm not privy to that.
07:47But what I'm saying here is the law,
07:51that they can perform the work of a doctor,
07:54even if they are not a licensed doctor,
07:57as long as they are a medical student or a graduate of a medical course.
08:02And this is the most important,
08:05they have the direct supervision and control of a registered physician.
08:10And Ms. Nicolás has that,
08:12that's why she is within the ambit of the exemption of the law.
08:15But wait, attorney,
08:17it seems that Janelle was not called and consulted before she received a prescription.
08:23I just want to correct that she did not really...
08:25she is the president of a hospital,
08:28and although she conducts consultations and prescriptions,
08:34it is only for common illnesses.
08:38And that is allowed by our law.
08:42Those doctors who supervise her,
08:45they are also on duty at the hospital.
08:48But sometimes, of course, they are off-duty, they are not there during that time.
08:52So what Ms. Nicolás is doing,
08:55although there are no doctors who supervise her physically,
08:58she is called.
09:00So that still constitutes direct control and supervision.
09:03For the lawyer, this is a personal attack on them by the complainant, Elaine.
09:09These incidents are just harassment.
09:12Millions of pesos were lost.
09:15We have the different cashiers of the hospital
09:18pointed to *** as the culprit of all these losses of money.
09:23One step that we took was to ask her to leave her room at the hospital
09:30because we are afraid that she might sabotage our patients and the hospital operation.
09:36Definitely, she has personal grudges against Ms. Nicolás
09:41because Ms. Nicolás now is the president and she is the one acting all this.
09:45Elaine is back.
09:47Ma'am, your move to complain to the CIDG and to have her arrested
09:52is just a form of retaliation because you were removed from the hospital.
09:58There is no truth to it, sir.
09:59Because from the start, she wanted to be on duty as a doctor,
10:04but I stopped her.
10:06You were robbed of money.
10:08Millions of pesos were lost.
10:10I did not receive that much.
10:14Even if we just face death.
10:17But before Janelle's case against the Medical Act of 1959 came to light,
10:22a receipt was sent to the Philippine Medical Association.
10:26You cannot practice medicine if you do not have a license to practice.
10:31You can only say that exemption.
10:37If you are still in med school, senior year, you are an intern,
10:41there is a doctor behind you, they sign your prescription
10:47and they guide you to treat.
10:52But after you finish med school,
10:54if you do not pass your physician's license exam,
10:59you do not have the right to practice medicine.
11:02If the accused is proven guilty,
11:05Janelle can face up to 5 years in prison.
11:11Every medicine or treatment that is prescribed by the experts
11:14and the patient's health is at stake.
11:17So it is only right that they are in the right hands
11:22and first of all, they should follow the laws
11:26that their experts trust.
