Once again in the government hospital

Tweet

I don't like going there but quite often I can't avoid it. The government hospitals in general are crowded. You don't have to give " visit fee" in a government hospital and you can get medicines free. As it's the place where poorer people go in large numbers, you may have to spend two to three hours to reach the doctor. The youngest boy in my family has a slightly swollen face for some reason. I had taken him to the local rural hospital. After two hours of standing in the queue we were standing in front of the doctor. The doctor prescribed a blood test. The times definitely have changed. Earlier, I could take children to private doctors. You have to pay them a fee but your time is saved. We hear donations to our charity have decreased. So many of the expenses have to be cut down. It may have hit our medical bills as well. Hopefully, I would be able to get the blood test done tomorrow. Then, I will have to take the boy to the hospital again.
