At past 3:00 o'clock in the morning, I already woke up. Took a bath and prepared to get my blood extracted at the Caloocan City North Medical Center., a government hospital. Before 4: 00 o'clock am, I already left. There was no tricycle yet at the terminal so I just walked out of the subdivision. I guess, I was the only one walking down the streets of our place. Fortunately, I was able to ride a tricycle that brought me to the medical center.
When I arrived there, there were only a few persons on the line. I was number 12. To make the story short, I had my blood extraction at past 8:00 o'clock in the morning already. I was home at around 10:00 o'clock.
I don't know who among you had this similar experience.

It usually doesn't take us that long for any laboratory tests here. Everything is just near my home with no traffic congestion where I live. So everything is a breeze. And there are many laborites we could go to so the queue isn't that long except in government hospitals.

That is true. This is the first time that I registered in YAKAP Program. That was my first to have lab tests under this program. I used to have these tests at the Camarin Doctors. That was very fast. There is an advantage compared to what I spent at the private hospital, here at the government hospital it is just less than 10% of what I spent at the private hospital.
