Nurse-educator Ryan Reyes continues his animated discussion with The Balut Kiki Project about the Filipino nurses' plight  amidst a languishing Philippine health care system. Patronage politics versus sound policies? Alin ba ang dapat manaig? Dapat na lamang bang makuntento ang mga Pinoy nurses sa bansag na bayani? Mukhang hindi mawawala sa uso ang salitang "martyr" hangga't may mga nurses! Problema lamang ba ito ng mga nurses or is this a problem that should be addressed by the population as a whole? Kelan tayo magiging mulat sa mga problemang nasa harap na natin?  Wil we survive another wave of this pandemic?
Kaway-kaway sa mga nursing students! Sure na ba kayo maging immortals of the future?

Due to length and breadth, this is the second installment of the discussion on this topic.
