00:03 It's official, summer is in!
00:05 That's why we each have our own way to beat the heat.
00:09 Are you ready to color your plan for outing?
00:12 [music]
00:15 Wait a minute and don't get hot!
00:18 Because some of our fellow citizens have a lot of sweat and sweat.
00:22 That's why they still continue to dress up, whether it's sunny or rainy.
00:27 But be careful, okay?
00:29 Because getting wet under the sun
00:32 can possibly affect our health.
00:35 Now, let's say goodbye to our nurse on duty, Nurse Abby.
00:39 [music]
00:41 Oh, you're here!
00:44 You're in vacation mood, just like me, right?
00:47 Well, because of the hot weather,
00:49 we're so excited to go to the beach.
00:51 So, let's go!
00:53 [music]
00:55 But wait, we still have work to do.
00:58 Because some of our fellow citizens still need our help.
01:01 So, as a nurse of the country...
01:04 [music]
01:07 Always on duty, let's go!
01:09 [music]
01:13 We're here in Quezon City to greet our fellow citizens
01:17 who are still working under the scorching sun.
01:21 [music]
01:23 Nurse Abby visited some of our fellow citizens
01:26 because their cities are still hot.
01:29 [music]
01:31 One of the fastest ways to get around Quezon City
01:35 is to book a motorcycle taxi.
01:38 But these drivers are often exposed to the sun.
01:42 That's why they can't avoid getting wet.
01:45 [sigh]
01:47 Oh!
01:48 Just like when I met Brother Joseph.
01:51 [music]
01:52 Joseph Santellan became a motorcycle taxi driver in 2017.
01:56 Because he can ride his motorcycle every day,
01:59 he's exposed to the sun while working.
02:03 That's why he often complains
02:05 that he sweats without a shirt.
02:08 [music]
02:10 We bring water and extra clothes.
02:14 It's wrong because if you don't do that,
02:17 you'll get wet with sweat.
02:20 Sometimes, you'll get wet when you get home.
02:22 Is there a time when you get sweaty and you can't change your clothes?
02:26 Yes, there is.
02:27 And you feel it when it's night time.
02:32 You get wet.
02:32 Sometimes, you feel bad and you have to avoid it.
02:35 Is there a time when you feel shy
02:38 to your customers because you're already sweaty?
02:42 Of course, you can't avoid it.
02:44 But even if they don't say anything,
02:46 you'll still feel shy because they'll see
02:49 that you're already sweating.
02:51 But they'll understand that you're working.
02:57 But you'll still feel shy.
02:59 You can't avoid it as a motorcycle taxi driver
03:03 when it rains,
03:06 when it's hot,
03:07 when you're sweating.
03:09 Even if you have a CS,
03:11 you can't avoid sweating.
03:14 You'll almost get sweaty on your face.
03:17 [music]
03:18 The question of the day was asked by a nurse.
03:22 [music]
03:25 Doc, is it true that you can't take a bath
03:28 when you're sweaty or you're sweating?
03:30 [music]
03:32 Actually, you can take a bath after you're sweaty
03:35 because it helps us cool down also.
03:37 Sometimes, when we're sweaty,
03:41 our feelings get stuck.
03:44 And it can actually worsen our feelings.
03:47 So, it's okay to take a bath after we're sweaty.
03:54 [music]
03:55 According to Dr. Via Roderos,
03:59 sweating is one of the natural ways
04:02 for our body to cool down when it's hot.
04:05 [music]
04:06 When we're sweaty,
04:09 our body tries to regulate our temperature
04:14 because when our body is too hot,
04:16 it doesn't cool down our body.
04:20 It can make our existing illnesses worse.
04:23 [music]
04:25 Doc also reminds us to avoid sweating when it's dry.
04:28 It can cause irritant dermatitis.
04:32 And sometimes, there can be rashes,
04:35 skin conditions that are related to allergic formation of rashes
04:43 or dermatitis.
04:46 [music]
04:47 No matter how hot and sweaty we are,
04:51 we can fight the possible effects of sweating on our health.
04:56 Bringing water wherever we go.
04:58 We have water bottles in our bags.
05:01 It's important in cooling down.
05:03 Having a portable fan or a fan
05:07 can help us avoid overheating our body
05:13 or sweating a lot.
05:19 We can always bring wipes.
05:21 Wet wipes can help us actually cool down.
05:24 Especially now that we're going to go somewhere else.
05:28 It's important for us to keep ourselves hydrated all the time.
05:32 Because we know that you're working hard,
05:35 we'll give you a beat.
05:36 The heat.
05:37 Wow!
05:38 Yes!
05:39 Okay, sir. We have a tumbler,
05:42 a sweat wipe,
05:45 a bean,
05:46 and we also have a towel.
05:49 Wow! Thank you so much, Pinoy MD,
05:53 for taking care of our biker.
05:56 This is a big help. Thank you. Good job.
05:59 [music]
06:03 While I was on my way to Quezon City,
06:05 I met a vendor who's working non-stop.
06:12 That's why he's having a headache.
06:16 Let's go and check on him.
06:19 Vincent is a 16-year-old street food vendor
06:22 and a 47-year-old vendor.
06:25 What time do you start opening?
06:28 I start at 3 o'clock.
06:31 We prepare food.
06:33 You told me that even if the sun is strong, you still sell food.
06:37 We start at 5 o'clock.
06:39 Wow! What do you feel when you're exposed to the sun?
06:44 I feel dizzy.
06:45 Oh, really?
06:46 You feel dizzy?
06:47 But we don't take any maintenance for our blood pressure,
06:52 or heartache.
06:54 We don't do anything.
06:55 Who checks your blood pressure?
06:57 Sometimes, we ask our doctor or secretary.
07:01 Sometimes, we have a kit.
07:04 Because he's always on duty at Nurse Abby,
07:07 he also knows Vincent's blood pressure.
07:10 It's okay, sir.
07:13 Your BP is normal.
07:14 I got 110.70.
07:17 So, it's okay.
07:18 It's not low.
07:20 For the question of payment,
07:23 Doc, is it true that the long exposure to the sun
07:28 can cause dizziness?
07:30 That's what we take care of our patients.
07:35 Especially, those who have conditions.
07:39 For example, high blood pressure,
07:41 heartache,
07:44 or high blood pressure.
07:46 We need to be extra careful,
07:48 especially when it comes to the summer season.
07:51 Because being able to be exposed to a hot place
07:56 can actually cause an increase in our blood pressure.
08:00 When we feel dizzy,
08:02 we go to a shady, cool place.
08:05 We remove ourselves from places that are hot.
08:11 Number two, hydration is essential.
08:15 Drinking water is important,
08:18 especially when we're in a hot place.
08:24 Some signs of high blood pressure are...
08:30 We see that our head is aching,
08:33 that our head is feeling high pressure,
08:38 or that there's a band that squeezes or presses our head.
08:45 Another is when we're dizzy.
08:47 And then, others have a strong heartbeat.
08:51 That's another sign that our blood pressure is high.
08:58 One of the most affected by the heat is our skin.
09:03 Just like Erlinda's mom who had sunburn.
09:08 It's painful.
09:09 So, let's go and check on her.
09:12 Because it's summer,
09:16 swimming is another way to cool our hearts.
09:21 But 54-year-old Erlinda
09:23 has a skin rash after swimming.
09:26 You had sunburn before.
09:29 What caused it?
09:32 I went out earlier.
09:33 You went out?
09:35 I went to the beach.
09:36 We didn't wear sunblock.
09:39 How big was your sunburn?
09:41 It was this big.
09:42 What was the feeling?
09:44 What did it look like?
09:46 Was it really painful?
09:47 What was the skin like?
09:50 It was like a clog.
09:52 Like a clog?
09:53 It was really painful.
09:54 What did we do to lessen the pain
09:59 and to cure the sunburn?
10:01 We put ointment.
10:03 What ointment did we put?
10:05 Sunburn ointment.
10:06 Sunburn ointment.
10:08 But not toothpaste, right?
10:10 For skin concern, this is the question of the diet.
10:16 Doc, is it true that sunburn can happen
10:20 within 15 minutes?
10:23 It can.
10:27 It depends because we have peak UVB-Rs of exposure
10:32 which is usually from 10am to 3pm.
10:35 That's the darkest time of the day
10:37 and our risk to develop sunburn is the highest.
10:40 Sunburn basically,
10:42 we see it as pink to red rash
10:45 that usually has a burning or stinging sensation.
10:48 One of the best protection from sunburn
10:51 is sunscreen with SPF or sun protection factor.
10:56 This is what we call rating to assess
10:59 how well your sunscreen can protect against UVB.
11:03 UVB is the primary indicator
11:07 why we can have sunburn.
11:10 You have to remember to reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours.
11:13 If you have sunburn,
11:15 it will go away quickly.
11:17 You just need to use cold water for showers
11:20 and cool compresses at least twice daily
11:22 for 5 to 10 minutes.
11:24 Aside from that,
11:25 you also need to apply calamine lotion
11:27 or aloe vera soothing gel
11:29 to help relieve the inflammation and swelling.
11:32 And then you also have to hydrate
11:34 at least 8 to 10 glasses of water daily.
11:37 We will give you a beat the heat summer kit.
11:42 Ma'am, this is a small container for water
11:46 to help you hydrate.
11:48 It's hot these days,
11:50 so this is a protection for the heat.
11:53 This is a wet wipe for sweat.
11:56 And this is a small towel.
11:59 Here you go, Ma'am.
12:01 Thank you.
12:04 It's hot these days,
12:08 but there's no one who will lose to the Filipino's hard work
12:11 that even if the sun is hot,
12:13 they still continue to care for their families.
12:16 But remember,
12:18 listen to our body
12:20 and take care of your health,
12:22 especially this summer season.
12:25 Filipino MDs,
12:27 as long as it's a question and a health service,
12:30 we will answer it.
12:32 Until my next duty,
12:34 maybe you will be the one to visit me.
12:37 So don't be late.
12:38 Lastly, comment on our social media page
12:41 the place you want our team to visit.
12:43 Lastly, I am Nurse Abby,
12:45 always on duty for Pinoy MD.
