| Mother! Mother! I Am Sick! Call the Doctore Very Q |
|
This morning, while I was getting ready to go somewhere with my father, I felt something enter my right ear. I thought it was just my hair since my hair is long. After a while, my right ears started to hurt. As in throbbing. Then I heard buzzing inside my ears. I ran from my room which is in the secong floor to my cousin downstairs. I started crying because it was really hurting and the buzzing won't stop. My cousin told me that maybe it was a mosquito. I think it is a mosquito too because of the buzzing. Duh?! Obvious much?! Anyways, I ask my cousin to kill it because it really pains and the buzzing is giving me a headache. My cousin puffed smoke in my ear so that the mosquito will come out. But damn it! The mosquito didn't go out! It died inside my ears! My cousin told me not to bother much because it will become an earwax. Gross right? That's what I thought. My father told me that we'll go to an ENT specialist after we go to the place we were going. By noon, we were done with the "business" we had to do so we looked for an ENT specialist. The first clinic we went to was kind of a branch or something like that of a big hospital. I asked if the doctor is doing something. The receptionist (is that what you call them?) told me that the doctor was not there. The ENT specialist only comes during Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. (It is Tuesday today.) What the hell?! A mosquito is getting rotten in my ear and the doctor is nowhere to be found?!?! Anyway, we went to look for another ENT clinic. The next clinic we found was far from the first one. The clinic was closed. We asked to guy in the pawnshop next to the clinic where the doctor was. The guy let us enter and asked us to wait while he texts the wife of the doctor. It seems that the doctor was getting his car fixed and we were asked to wait until 6 pm. Who is he kidding?!?! It was still 12 in the afternoon!! Goodness! SO my father and I went looking for another ENT clinic. The next one we found was a city hospital. We were very hopeful that there was a doctor there since it was a.. hospital. We asked the receptionist where the ENT room is. The receptionist asked us if we had an appointment. Of course we didn't have. The receptionist told us that the doctor will be available in an hour or two. My father is really getting irritated by that time! I was praying that the soul of the mosquito will just drag its body out of my ears! We were driving very far and still we can't find an ENT clinic! All we can find are dental clinics and derma clinics! We found another one after a long drive. There were guys sitting outside the clinics. We asked them if the doctors are there. The guys told us that the doctors were not there and told us to try the hospital. Dang it! Where are the doctors when you need them?!?!
So people, I posted this story of mine just to have an announcement to the future doctors of our world that please, I beg you. Don't plan to be a doctor just because they have a bigh slary but because you want to help the people in need. My country is now lacking doctors. Maybe not in dentals or dermas but some other fields. They graduated as a doctor but they work as a nurse! Yeah, maybe thay can earn bigger in those fields but hey! how about the people who need help?! How about public service?! Maybe only few now cares about others. Maybe. Just maybe. Sorry if I'm being harsh or anything here. There's just a mosquito getting rotten in my ears.
