As I was waiting for my name to be called for prepping before the surgery last week, an old lady asked me what's my surgery for. Naaah it is not all written in my face. That waiting room is for surgery patients. She must be already in her 80s. Yes Virginia, ganyan katatanda na ang mga pasyente dito. Without me asking, she confided that they are going to operate on her shoulder. She fractured her right shoulder while reaching for something which prompted the doctors to fix it only to return later because of infection that set in caused by a bacteria Ngiii. According to the old woman, a ball of antibiotics was inserted in the muscles and bones of her shoulder so that they need not inject it to her. She did not finish her story because she was already escorted by a nurse to a holding room.
Yesterday, a hospital staff called me to follow up how I am and what problems I had after the discharge. Instead of a kilometric survey she asked me how was my stay in the hospital. That is what made it different from the other hospitals. It was more personalized.
Mabuti na lang wala ako sa mood makipagkwentuhan. Baka isang nobela ang naikwento ko. Anyway, I should have known na pwede pala akong tumakbo sa emergency for my painkillers. Terminal stupidity ang nagpahirap sa akin pagtiis ng walang painkillers for a couple of days. Arghhh. Sabagay malapit na ang Lenten season.
Meron na akong painkiller kaya panay na naman ang halik ko sa lap top ko pag ako ay inabot ng antok.Boink. Kaya hindi ko iiniwanan ang aking niluluto. Baka matutong ang noodle stick o kaya maging
chicharon ang karneng pangsahog.
Sagot ko sa tanong about the nurses ay favorable. Hindi mo kailangan pero nandiyan, nagtatanong kung may kailangan ako. Hindi kagaya doon sa isa na pundido na ang call light, wala pa ang narses.
Sabi ng aking kaibigang nars, yan daw ang trend ngayon dahil kumukunti ang mga pasyente. Bagsak and economy, bawas ang mga insurance at mahal ang gamot at admission sa hospital. Among hospitals, kung magaling ang serbisyo , ito ang unang pipiliin kaya the administrations enhanced their competitive advantage.
