Chapter 6 My Routine Hemothoggy Checkup

As per routine checkup I presented myself at about 6.30 a.m. and found the system changed.Now there was no need to line up for in place of is numbering machine>well it was to good for in the future,or was it?

Anyway I got my number being number 4 at that early I was fourth in line.I did my registration thereafter at 7.30 a.m. expecting to to have an early treatment and to return home thereafter.My blood samples was duly given a few minutes thereafter.

Further on I went on to collect my medications.After submitting my requirements to their respective counters I drifted to break my fasting at the canteen.I had not much time to waste anyway so I simply had a simple one of "char Koey Teow" and coffee Then on I collected my medicines.It was done very quickl.

Immediately I rushed back to my appointment with the checkup or rather waited for myself to be called up I wait,and I wait and I waited.But my number  was never called up at all instead others number especially those coming in later were being treated first.I smelt something fishy installed.Nevertheless I kept my patient.

Minutes passed then hours passed and patients coming in later were treated earlier  than the few of us who came in earlier.Five hours later I made my call at those relevant counters only to be told my folder had just been sent into to room where doctors were to attend to them.

However I checkup with the nurse at the room only to be told I would be duly attended to by a doctor.My call soon came and I was treated by a young doctor.It only took a minute as I had no complaints accept the ill treatment by those in autorithy.

I left the Centre thereafter at about 12.30 p.m. What A long wait.What was it ?,Nothing actually but sheer discrimination by certain nurses and hospital attendants.Their obstructions meant a lot to us elderly patients.Have they no mercy for the elders or the sickly?Have they no parents?I suspect a lot about racialism attached to this.

 But what can we common citizens  do but to vote the next better government next time around.But one thing is sure the more they discriminate us the more anger would roared us towards the opposition the more.Don't give up on us Anwar... .
