What do all Med Teks have in common?

Fun fact: The Love for Food and the Love for Freebies

I never met a Med Tek who doesn't like to it. I even believe that eating is our favorite past time. We just love food. If we're allowed to eat merienda, we probably would. At lunch breaks, even if we have to eat fast, we eat a lot. And if we receive our salaries, it's a sure eating frenzy! Whether with co-workers, family, relatives or friends, we sure love to use our money for food!

The best things in life are free. We Med Teks sure love the sound of that! This is actually very evident during PAMET conventions. We go to all the medical representatives' booths and ask for freebies. It doesn't matter if the lines are long, as long as we get something free! The more fun part is when a med rep gives free food! Wow! A combination of the things we loved! How many times have you experienced  a med rep gives a free pizza? or ice cream? or cake? Definitely a lot! So, thank you Med Reps! (hahaha).

We Med teks are not 'biologically related', but it's really true that we all love food and freebies. I never think about it as negative thing too. All I want to point out is that we Med Teks have some sort of connection. It's like a Med Tek gene of some sort. So, share your knowledge, be good to one another, treat each other as family because that's what we are. We are connected. We are Med Teks!

Low income for MedTeks?

Ever wonder why some Med Teks settle for minimum wage? Honestly, I already worked for minimum wage as a Med Tek. I lived in Metro Manila and worked in two private hospitals already, both tertiary, but both offered a minimum salary wage. Unfair isn't it? Considering the number of laboratory exams per day, I think laboratory staffs deserve a bit higher amount of income. After all, the laboratory is arguably the biggest earner inside the hospital (maybe ahead or second to pharmacy). I have even heard that a gross income of a tertiary laboratory in Metro Manila ranges from 8 million pesos to 20 million pesos per month. And if all this information is true, then why do we get an unfair amount of salary?
