Di pa rin pala puede magkasakit

A couple of days ago, I had a blog post Puede na magkasakit.  Di pa rin pala puede.  Mahirap at masalimuot pa rin pala. I brought my youngest son to the doctor and it took us nearly two hours of waiting before the doctor saw him.  We arrived at around 3:30 pm on a weekday and I was glad to see less than five people in the reception area, which was totally different from the one I saw on Saturday.  I thought to myself, this will be a short and swift consultation.  This elation was premature and short-lived because the area was quickly and swiftly filled by people: carrying babies, old folks, children, adults, etc.  It looked like the rush hour in the motorway, with the constant flow of people coming in and out.  We had a kabarangay, Dana, who was in excruciating pain, and she was number 25 in the list.  Eh mura nga ang gamot at bayad sa doktor.  Mahaba at matagal naman ang pag aantay mo.  Sayang ang oras.  Naisipan ko tuloy na di pa rin pala puede magkasakit.
