A medical technologist (MT) from Surigao del Sur inspired the netizens after she opted to finish her ongoing lab test before leaving the hospital even though a fire broke out in a nearby building.

The incident happened Monday, June 28, 2021, when Jeia Guingue, a medical technologist at Adela Serra Ty Memorial Medical Center in Tandag City, Surigao del Sur, is recognized for choosing to stay and continue crossmatching blood for a newborn patient.

“This happened a few moments after my duty but one brave colleague chose to stay and continue crossmatching blood for a newborn patient.

The real Call of Duty, all in the name of saving the lives of others,” Guingue’s co-worker, Stefan Balani shared on Facebook.

Guingue was praised for her bravery as she chose to finish her crossmatching test before saving herself despite the ongoing fire in a nearby place.

“Kasi po mataas po ang process ng crossmatching at kailangan na po ng patient at hindi po pwede magkamali sa pag-abono ng dugo,” Balani explained.

“Nagulat po kami kasi hindi po siya tumakbo. Kumuha lang siya ng bag niya pero hindi niya maiwan ang trabaho,” Balani said in an interview with Philippine Star.

“Ligtas naman po tinapos lang niya gawin ’yung crossmatching dahil stat po kasi ang request need ng newborn abonohan,” he added.
