Abstract
This paper is a reflection on the role of doctors in everyone's life. It is anchored and inspired from three Filipino doctors who serve as frontliners and died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through sacrifice and service, they provide unconditional care up to the point of risking and losing their lives. They deserve trust and cooperation from their patients to execute an effective treatment and care management.
