Every time it rains, I think about floods … and you know, what’s next. May araw din kayo!
But for tonight, to keep it light at the #HealthXPH chat, I thought about AGIMAT. Agimat, bertud, o anting-anting ba? There are just some days where talismans, amulets, and charms seem to save our sanity as health workers.
Claude suggests –
Healthcare superstitions aren’t really about magic – they’re about finding comfort and control in an unpredictable environment. These small rituals can provide a sense of routine and confidence when facing life-and-death situations daily.
