A Crowded Hospital

I was tired today. I brought my mom for a check-up at Pantai Hospital this morning. The hospital is so crowded and all the bed for patient is fully booked.


After the test, my mom is OK. Luckily, she only needs to take some medicine and I think can discharge this evening.


I brought Nelson to the baby room and showed him how he is born. He is so curious and I asked him some simple questions there.


I asked: “Do you remember you have been here before?”


He shakes his head and said “No”.


He loves watching the babies there but when I asked him: “Do you hope to have a sister?”


He shakes his head again and said “No”.


After this I met a stranger there. He is quite friendly but he keeps complaining why we still need to wait for so long for our turn since we are willing to pay the expensive consultation fees.


I told him: “ Ya, because there are many rich people in this land.”

U r right! Private hospitals oso hv a lot of patients. I guess ppl r more willing to spend on medical exp, for a more professional service.

Once I took my mum to our private hospital here for my maternity checkup and have to wait like hours before my turn, she was so upset saving that we have to pay to wait...worse than government hospitals.

Nowadays many own medical card. When they are sick they prefer to go private hospital rather than normal government one.
