To The Moon And Back

When you’re stuck in the hospital and your list of things to do are limited, it’s amazing how many things you will discover/feel:

1. Call center agents still wear wool scarves even if it’s all sunny and humid outside.

2. The beautiful floral arrangements that I admired at the front desk are actually silk flowers.

3. You’d feel bad about patients who are waiting for rooms at the lobby because the only ones available are the suites, costing Php8,000 a night.

4. Cigarette smoking kills. Posters and commercials are plastered all around the lobby to remind people about lung cancer.

5. Most of the ER nurses are jaded that they can’t afford to smile anymore.

6. You just know when something’s wrong with the doctor’s diagnosis.
