God! The temperature says it's 33 degrees Celcius but it's very hot in here and I can even feel the heat inside an air conditioned room.
I obtained my laboratory tests result days ago but it will be only tonight I might able to talk to my doctor. I tried sending text messages to his assistant at 8 this morning but I don’t receive a feedback and even my call was not answered. I dropped by at their clinic this noon to book for an appointment and the slots were fully occupied but I ask for consideration and hopefully I will be the last patient to be attended.
There’s nothing urgent but I just have some health problems to consult. Doctor’s visit and medications could really hurt our budget but it’s not one thing that we should not be taken for granted. I think some of you may have free access on consultation and even medication but it did not work the same here especially if you seek through private practitioners and an outpatient as it would be an out-of-pocket expenses.

The trunkline of the hospital I go to is always hard to reach so I'm planning to go there personally to have all my queries answered.
We also had a hard time contacting mother's cardiologist at another hospital. It turns out she's now per-appointment only.
It's been always 33, even 34, here since mid-March.

@merrybelle2021 That's better at least no need for face-to-face consultation. I've done that before during the first two months of the lockdown since there's not face-to-face consultation that time here in our place.
