Culture Shock

Nagkasakit si ate. Tumawag siya dito sa bahay at nagpapasundo sa San Lazaro Hospital. So ayun, sugod ako. At dahil hindi ko naman alam kung saan yung San Lazaro, I took a taxi from ate's dorm.

Hindi naman exactly culture shock ang nangyari sa akin when I arrived at San Lazaro. Pero na-shock ako kasi parang hindi pang-ospital yung environment dun. Yung tipong pag pasyente ka dun, eh nanaisin mo na lang mamatay. Sabi nga ni ate, "this is the state of Philippine Health". While I was walking around San Lazaro, I saw broken glass windows and holes on the roof. You know what's ironic? San Lazaro Hospital is in the same compound as the Department of Health.

Pero may government hospitals naman na maganda, like the Philippine Heart Center, NKTI, Lung Center, and Philippine Children's Medical Center (all of which are found in Quezon City).
Na-shock lang talaga ako.
