I am going for
my 2nd check up today, at least 2nd one at the Klinik
Kesihatan. I am half excited, half not so excited. Excited
because I will be hearing about my baby progress (I hope). Not so excited
because it’s the klinik kesihatan and we can never guess what will happen
there.
I had a good 1st
visit. Compared to the time they sent me away for coming late. Mind you, I call
at 10.45am, asking them if it’s ok for me to come now, and they said it is
fine. I arrived at 11am and they said it’s too late. I was shocked! It was not
even 12noon. I just walk-away (definitely upset) but refuse to argue.
My appointment for this time
was actually last Wednesday. But I have class on Wednesday. So I call them on
Monday, to check if its ok for me to come on Monday or Tuesday instead. An annoyed-sound nurse answer my call, she
told me I can’t come on Monday because its too crowded. I shouldn’t come on Tuesday either, because
it will be crowded as well. She asked me
to come the following week (this week). Deep inside, I was asking myself, wouldn’t
next week be crowded as well? Again, I refuse to argue and just agree. We will
see how not crowded today is...
Another thing is
that, they love to ask us to come before 8. They open at 8. They expect us to
come and wait for them and then “berebut” to get the number. I find that is so
ridiculous. Even when they said we have appointment on that day, they won’t
give us any specific time. They expect us to arrive there at 8 (or before 8)
and wait like the rest.
I am not
expecting a 1st class treatment. It is after all a government
hospital and I am aware they are overworked (at least that’s what I thought).
But I do expect some civilized treatment. I know they usually dealt with a
group of people who don’t have any respect for time.
One thing they
should also realize is that, this people respect laws and authoritative voice.
If you tell them to come at 9, they will be late the 1st time, but
give them a lesson. Make them wait longer or asked them to come the next day,
and I bet you, they will come on time next time. A simple lesson like that can
go a long way! Next time they will remind their daughter to be on time because
the government hospital is so strict! They will complain but who doesn’t right?
At least they learn some discipline in their life.
But who am I kidding.
It’s the staff who needs the lesson first (hahaha).
I am still upset
at the female doctor there. She makes some unnecessary remark about me! You don’t
have to be friendly, but you don’t have to be rude. I don’t even ask any stupid
question. I let her do her thing… I guess that happened because she is young…(trying
to pujuk myself).
There are
however something good about the place. I love the nurse who attends me. She didn’t
treat me like a queen, she treat me like a human. We chat, she gave good
advice, she answers my stupid question patiently and she addresses all my
worries calmly. She is a senior. Maybe the same age as my mum.
See the
different?
But even the nurse
who took my blood is nice. We didn’t chat. All she has to do is draw some blood
(and it hurts! I was comparing her technique with the guy at the blood donation
place…and hers really need some improvement…sakit ok!)….but she is nice…and she
is YOUNG! Maybe my age
Entahlah…lain
orang lain fe-el…..
