Here are some facts forwarded to me by email by some colleagues:
"I heard through the grapevine about a remark made on an episode of
> "Desperate Housewives" last night. The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's
> character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist
> that she might be hitting menopause. Susan replied, "Can I just
> check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are
> not from some med school in the Philippines." If you go to abc.com,
> you can watch the full episode and witness the scene at about 18:50
> minutes into the episode."
"Accdg to one Filipino client of ours, Teri Hatcher actually asked for non-Filipino nurses/doctors when she was in a CA hospital. The hospital admin told her she has to look for another hospital, since everyone who had anything to do with patients was Filipino. Apparently this line is HER OWN AD LIB, based on her REAL-LFE FRUSTRATION that she not be touched or cared for by Filipinos... "
