Where Did My Pera Make Go?

“They don’t make pakialam even if they are the one who are responsible…”

It’s 5:30 p.m. and we will make go to the party. Oh-My-Gee! I’m not making bihis pa pala. We are so late na. I’m gonna make tawag my best friend Marky na.

—Marky, let’s go na to the apartment. Let us make bihis na for the party. —Aine, tigilan mo ako sa Marky mo, Mark ang pangalan ko. Conyo Queen. Ikaw na lang hinihintay ko. Bilisan mo na, hinihintay na tayo ng barkada. Like Oh-My-Gee, my best friend is making sungit na naman to me. We are making baba na to the building while someone make tawag to me nang bigla na lang ako nag-make hulog sa hagdan... —Aine! Marky make try to sambot me but he’s too late. Bigla na lang nag-make-black ang paligid. * —Nasaan ako? Why is the kwarto white? Did I make fly to heaven? —Shut up Aine. Nasa ospital ka. Bakit kasi hindi ka naka-focus sa mga dinaraanan mo? —Can you make not sungit to me. My paa is making sakit. Where is the nurse ba? —Nag-a-asikaso ng mga papers para makauwi na tayo. Then magbabayad na lang tayo. Marky make buhat to me and make me sit sa wheel chair. I don’t want to make higa sa hospital bed baka may germs. —Marky look at the patients. They are making so habang pila. ‘Di ba dapat ‘pag nandito ka sa hospital you’re just gonna make sit and the nurse will approach to you.

—Aine, this is a public hospital. Ganito talaga dito — magulo, kulang ang staff and facilities. Kadalasan, hindi proportion ang bilang ng mga pasyente sa bilang ng nurses at doctors. Kadalasan, mura rin ang bayad dito.

—It’s so unfair naman. They should make provide more nurse and doctor here. Look! The uhugin bata is making iyak na with super pain while the nurse seems like making tambay lang. Paano na lang ang binabayad to him? It is so nakakainis na here. Marky make tingin na lang sa akin. It seems that he didn’t make intindi to what I am saying. I know hindi naman ako ‘yong type of person na nag-make-care sa mga ganitong situation. Pero for the first time, it make me stub my heart and ribs. You know the feeling that people really need the care but it seems like they don’t make pakialam even if they are the one who are responsible to make them feel better. I think naman that government hospitals should make more effort kasi they are the one who make tanggap more funds. They just make sayang the tax that I pay. I think that someone should make stand up so that the government hospitals will be better for the ones who are making use of it. * —Ma’am pa-sign na lang po nitong papers then pwede na po kayong umalis. ‘Yong pong mga reseta ninyo ay nasa kasama n’yo na po. —Okay, thank you. Can I make favor naman? Can you make asikaso some of the pasyente there? —Okay po, ma’am. Sige po, ingat po

kayo.

After I make talk to the nurse, Marky make push the wheel chair na near the car. While he is starting the engine, I make tingin to the resibo. OH-MY-GEE! 1000 pesos? Wait. What? Is this even possible? Marky make sabi naman na it is cheaper here at the government hospital. So nakakainis. Sayang ang pera that I make bayad. What did they do lang ba to me? —Marky, what services they make offer to me? —X-ray, bandage. That’s all Aine.

Bakit?

me? —Did the doctor make check-up to

—Nope. Binigyan ka lang nila ng reseta. Nakita mo naman ‘di ba na maraming pasyente? Nagreklamo ka pa nga. —So nakakaazar. They are so unfair. Seriously? 1000 pesos? X-ray? Check. Bandage? Check. Room? Slightly check. Nurses? Need more effort to check. Facilities? Please make ayos and dagdag it. Doctors? Some are missing in action. I’m so disappointed to what just happened today. Not just this hospital needs improvement but also around the country. Do they even make law to have better government hospitals? Am I just the one who make notice to this situation or somebody else does but make bulag-bulagan na lang? 1000 pesos? Where did you make go? Can you tell me where did my pera make go?
