Lazy, Inefficient Hospital Personnel

July 19, 2006

This afternoon, I went to a hospital here in Lucena to consult with my doctor. I went straight to the Out Patient Department Building and headed to my doctor’s room. I came there at 1:30pm. I forgot that her schedule is 9am-1pm and 2-6pm weekdays.  So I waited until 2pm. When the clock ticked at 2:00pm, there was still no trace of my doctor. Not even her secretary was there. It pissed me off. Thirty minutes later, her assistant arrived. I went inside the room and signed up. I thought my doctor will arrive just a few minutes after her secretary, but I was wrong. She arrived after another thirty minutes.

After my doctor has given me prescriptions, she asked me to get a form of MEDICARD at another room. So I went outside and looked for Room 101. Ms. Badluck greeted me and said that the person in-charge was in another building. Holy crap! Don’t they know that everyone is on a hurry? Aren’t they expecting that their clients are sick? That their clients can’t afford to wait for hours? Ugh, common sense please.

And the MEDICARD staff finally came. She asked for my card. Ms. Badluck greeted me once more. My card was not in my wallet. I don’t know where it was. I’m not sure if I lost it or maybe it is just in my boarding house in Makati. I contacted my dentist in Makati and asked for my card number. That inconsiderate MEDICARD staff raised her voice and told me “I NEED THE CARD, NOT THE NUMBER!!!” Ok, ok, I’ll just pay the consultation fee.

All these things happened while my chest was aching and while my head was burning like hell. Grrrrrr…
