I finally took the time to have a check up when my mom accompanied my grandma to the hospital to have her Xray done. It was my rest day at work so I was encourage to come and to have a consultation as well. I really don't like going to the doctors to have a consultation.When I'm sick, I just drink a lot of water and eat well. I don't like taking meds. Mayne for the confidence that I have being on the medical field. I believe the last time that I was able to was when I need to have my medical check up for employment purpose.
So, going back. When I was registering in the reception table with a secretary, filling up forms, one woman came over to register also. She was petite, looks younger than me(but she's on the same age as mine), not to mention my stats compared to her. Yeah, she looks quite a 'teenager' than me.
Well, this receptionist in the table, asked us both of our concerns. I said I need to have an Internal Medicine Specialist to attend to me. The girl said her concern as well. The receptionist asked the girl to sit and wait for her doctor. And I was asked to check my weight in the scale. Why me? I said to myself. Why am I the one who needs to do this? But still, I went over to the scale to have my weight checked and was asked to wait for a moment while the receptionist is trying to call the doctor. She has a lot of things to do. Calling the doctors, sign papers, answer calls, send papers, text the doctors, talk to the patients, look for the records, update the doctors, etc. No wonder she is really mad about working.
And when she finally approached me after calling my doctor, she said, "Ma'am, can you wait an hour for your doctor to attend to you?". "Fine", I answered. Thinking grandma and mom were maybe not done with the Xray yet. I still have the lux of time. The receptionist caught my attention again to confirm, "Ma'am, kayo po yung magpapaPRE-NATAL CHECK UP noh?". I was shocked. My eardrums cracked! (Are you kidding me??!!)I took a few seconds to comprehend what the receptionist has said. Looked at her and answered back, "Hinde".
"Oh! Sorry. I might have exchanged your forms!", the receptionist called the other girl to tell her that she has to wait for the doctor and have her weigh in the scale. I was standing right in front of them clueless. The receptionist took the chance to apologize for the mixed up. We're both laughing. Lead me to the doctor's office and promise that my name will be called in no time.And I was like laughing inside of me. Do I really look like that I will be having my Pre-natal check up then? Ugh!
That's one big really funny story. I hope it won't happen again. Watta laugh. ^_^ check!
