dismal health system

Yesterday afternoon, despite my abeyance of western medical institutions I allowed myself to be brought to the hospital to get some treatment. My cough was killing me, I could barely breathe each time I coughed and my body was weak all over, occassionally I would break into a fever and chills. The rain was pounding on the streets and we decided to go to Healthway in SM north instead, at least we wont get wet. Arriving there at 4:30 pm, Peewee and I walked around to wait till 5pm for the doctor to arrive, I was the fourth on the list, not so bad I thought. 5pm came and 6pm came still no sign of the pulmonologist, when she finally arrives at around 6:10 she was still taking her sweet time before taking her patients in.
i decided to leave, thinking that there was no way that a late doctor and apathetic one at that could help me get through the hell i am experiencing. not to mention that i was feeling terribly cold in the clinic.
Peewee decided to drive to Capitol Medical Center, where hell actually awaited. Arriving at 6:30 in the uber crowded ER, I was in bed in the hallway, the suppossed doctor took a little "token" diagnosis of my condition, after less than a minute he asked me to lie down. Not being told what was gonna happen i lied down in a bed in the hallway, waiting for something to happen. An hour has passed and still no one has got back to me, only when Peewee asked them did they realize that I had to go get an X-ray. Complete hell another hour of waiting, expecting to talk to my doctor whose only words I remember was: "may phlegma ka ba?" and then walked away again. I left at 9:30 with some piece of paper containing home instructions and medication i was suppossed to follow. He didnt even tell me what happened to me or how to take these shit pack of medicines.
I left capitol, swearing to myself that this is the last time I am allowing myself to be brought to a hospital lest I end up in the Psychiatric ward, harhar
