Another zzz

The doctor asks you to see him on Thursday even though the date stated in the referral letter is on Monday. On Thursday most probably the symptoms have subsided on its own...zzz. 


I wonder what it is for those staying far away from hospital? Those that have work to attend to? Have children to feed? Have pets to take care of? They came so far to get treatment but its all about waiting. And the waiting is not a few hours, but a few days. What if the situation is complicated and serious? The patient might die! For goodness sake, the system should really improve.
