At the Lahad Datu hospital today....
(Lahad Datu hospital is the second largest hospital in Sabah, for
whatever reason I will never know.)
Blood pressure : 120/80
Wombat : "I'd like to replenish my medicine please?"
Pharmacy staff : "No problem. Please take a number and wait a while."
Wombat : "Ok."
Pharmacy staff : *Tap tap tap into PC* "Oops. Mr. Wombat, come here
please."
Wombat : "Yes?"
Pharmacy staff : "When is your next review appointment?"
Wombat : "15th May."
Pharmacy : "It says here we are authorized only to issue one of your
medicine until 25th April, while another four medicine until 5th May
only."
Blood pressure : 125/85
Wombat : "Well, ain't that nice. The doctor screwed up again the last
time he issued my prescription? And this is the third time it has
happened."
Pharmacy : "Looks like it. You will have to go over there to the
specialist clinic counter to sort this out."
Wombat : "Fine. Thanks." *Stomps over to specialist clinic nurses
counter*
Nurse : "Ya?"
Wombat : "There is a mistake in my prescription again. I won't have
enough drugs until 15th May and I am going to die."
Nurse : "Impossible. Let me see."
Wombat : "Here." Blood pressure : 127/87
Nurse : *Tap tap tap into PC* "Hmmm, this is odd. How can this
happen?"
Wombat : "Beats me." *Said with a very heavy dose of sarcasm*
Nurse : "Ok. Wait a while."
Wombat : "Fine." Blood pressure : 130/90
After 15 minutes....
Nurse : "You need to go to Room 15 and get the doctor to amend your
prescription."
Wombat : "Okay." *Stomps off to Room 15*
Nurse in Room 15 : "Ya?"
Wombat : "I need the doctor to amend my prescription please?"
Nurse : "Why?"
Wombat : "(Because he farked up big time again that's why you twit!) I
think he got my presciption wrong resulting in me not having enough
medicine until my next review appointment."
Nurse : "Oh... ok. You wait outside."
Wombat : "Wait?" Blood pressure : 140/95
Nurse : "Yes, wait. The doctor is not here yet."
Wombat : "When he will be in?"
Nurse : "I am not sure. Half an hour, an hour maybe."
Wombat : "So I may have to wait one hour."
Nurse : "Yes." *Smug look on face*
Wombat : "No. I will not wait."
Nurse : "Why?"
Blood pressure : 150/100
Wombat : "Because it is not my fault he screwed up my prescription for
the third time, and I am not going to sit here like a dodo for one
hour while he enjoys his coffee somewhere."
Nurse : "Then you won't get your medicine."
Wombat : "You just try me." *Stomps off to specialist clinic nurses'
counter*
Nurses : "You are back. Got your prescription amended?"
Wombat : "No. I was told to wait for an hour because of someone's
incompetence."
Nurses : "Well?"
Blood pressure : 160/110
Wombat : "I am going to leave my prescription card here. I am going to
come back this afternoon at 3.00pm. I expect to see my prescription
amended by whatever competent doctors you have left. If this is not
done please give me your hospital director phone number so that I can
inform him what a bunch of Little Napoleons you have running the show
down here. Ok?"
Nurses : "No problem. Come back at 3.00pm. It will all be settled."
Wombat : "Thank you very much. You are too kind."
Blood pressure : 120/80

You are quite the gentleman. I would've gone bananas, and probably be shipped off to some asylum, where people pay RM5 to see me!
I do not look forward to the sequel.
fleming : Sequel's posted today. Enjoy.
gallivanter : You should have seen my 36 year old sister. She's a civil servant. Ever see a civil servant blow her top at another civil servant for fiascos like this? I did. It was gory. :-)
