wanna see the doc? wait a month.

i hear abt the shitty health care here all the time. it's everywhere, on the news, in the papers, on the web, from cabbies to even pple you meet in the waiting room at the hospital. i get it, health care here kinda sucks. but i've always shrugged it off and the recent experience at the hospital with the boy seems to be pretty ok. he was very well taken care of actually! 

but today i tried to make an appt to see our doctor. and i've heard tt u need to wait a couple of days to see the doc, if you're lucky, maybe 2-3 days, if not, it can go up to 6 days. so i was prepared to wait till after the weekend. but when the lady said "how abt the 29th...of march?" 

MARCH? feb hasnt even ended yet and my appt is at the end of march? seriously? 

she didnt even ask if it was serious or urgent. all she said was tt my doctor is booked up till then. well, thanks to the boy, he handpicked our doctor, who is the head of cardio at the hospital. i can understand how n why he's booked up but i have to wait for a month? 

thankfully, i have the doc's number n he remembers the chinese male who came in with one bad lung and a very blank-faced female. so he pushed me up till next monday. that's more like it! having said that, i like my doctor very much. i just dun like the system.
