Rajiv Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 ..translates as "I am Sick in Spanish" So it was a lovely week at those sandy Mexican beaches, sipping pina coladas et tequillas, playing tequilla volleyball AND those royal buffets on display For one whole week, I gulped those nachos, steaks and seafood. On the last day, I had it; I had a bad stomach ache and I managed to fly back I was starting a new job that Monday and I had to miss as I couldn't sleep due to the stomach ache Monday was a public holiday too and every damn doctor was closed So I had no other option but to call the hospital; bingo!, 'If you feel like, please come to the emergency room but do remember it costs the tax payers $600 and $120 for a regular doctor" I was shut-up biyatch, I am in pain here and you explaining me Taxpayers cost, I hardly visited the doctor in Canada; I ought to use one this time Emergency room is no MEXICO, I Waited and I waited, and I waited It took 4 hours for one doctor to ask me the same thing 2 other people asked me earlier ( I have a stomach ache, please give me a prescription) They wanted to check my blood and give me a drink which would freeze the pain in my stomach ( It hit me, 2 days ago; I was sipping Margaritas, now I am sipping stomach freezers ) Blood came fine except the Haemo was 9 points up, "Doc, give me a prescription I wanna go home" "No; we have to see your pancreas blood work and we will keep you for observation" I was like you gotta be kidding me, he let me go but said he will call me if he finds anything suspicious; he will send a cop if I refuse to go back He wrote me a pill which I think worked and he never called again Yes, its free health but I really wish I was in Bombay so I could walk down the street to the doc for a check up or the chemist who is ever so smart No, Never again, a stomach ache and emergency room; even If I was fine, the scenario made me sick Its salads or nothing on holidays next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhondy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Nice! Not surprised though. Mexico is distinctly third world despite boasting the richest man on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
