ER Moment
When I announced I was at the Emergency Room on Thanksgiving, everybody wondered why. Friends and families sent their concerns and loves through FB messages, emails, msn and skype.
Although it was the most unpleasant and unfortunate Thanksgiving I've ever experienced, it reminded me the essence of the celebration: Always Be Thankful.
Chean sent me to the ER around 7a.m.
Tag on.
The ER aisle.
Room number (weird to say it this way).
All the equipments and facilities scared me though.
Chean, aren't you suppose to be worried? Stop posing!
Look at my pose, I'm pro. (Of course, I was sick :p)
I swear, I was in pain! But I never forgot to feed my fishes :p (Confuse? Read THIS)
The whole ER experience took me about 4 hours. By the time I left, I was extremely exhausted and sleepy!!!
Not there yet. I still need to buy medicine at pharmacy :'(
Despite its ridiculously high cost, another thing I hate about U.S. health care system is the medical consultation and dispensary operate as two distinct sectors.
This means: if you are severely sick, you need to run to a clinic or hospital for consultation and description first. Then, run to a pharmacy to buy your medicine.
I know, doesn't make sense right? Ohh, did I tell you the whole ER moment costs around US$ 900? Ridiculous.
Don't worry about me, I've fully recovered :) I should be thankful for everything, except the extremely high medical bill.
