Clogged nose. Cough. Backdrip. Sinus.

I thought it would go away in a matter of days. Nope. Days passed. These sources of discomfort decided to latch on. I had no choice but to extract myself from my work desk and seek medical treatment.

It must have been a long while since I patronized the clinic. I never knew there was a registration desk hiding just behind the entrance.

A young man with a meek voice greeted me as I marched to the counter.

“Errr, hi, hi! Are you here to see a doctor? Do you have an appointment?”

I turned, saw him, nodded, and walked over for registration.

It was a surgical process.

He asked me for my name, found my records, inquired why I was there, took my temperature, gave me a number, and said the waiting time was 40 minutes.

I gave him my name. He confirmed my records. I told him my symptoms, let him take my temperature, took the waiting number printout, and lamented that the wait was unbelievably long.
