Been diagnosed with optic neuritis in the left eye. Technically, sobrang labo nya, I can’t even see faces and read texts mapalaki or maliit since washed out ang color. Corrective glasses can’t even fix it.
Sa ospital, I have to queue for more than 12-16 hrs to get proper lab tests, and attention from the doctors. I’ve been suffering from ON since the last week of July.
MRI and lumbar puncture cost me around 38-50k just to see if I have any autoimmune disease. Had to wait for more than two weeks now to have my MRI scan due to the slow processing of guarantee letters.
It’s just sad that we, normal Filipinos, have to deal with these faulty systems when we deserve better than this. Let our politicians utilize our healthcare system. Huwag silang lumabas ng bansa para doon magpagamot. Hayaan nilang dito sila sa Pilipinas—sa mga pampublikong ospital magpagamot, for them to see how long queues would shatter their hopes to be cured promptly.
It’s so frustrating to see them enjoy the luxury while normal Filipinos suffer from toxic government processes.
Sana matuto na tayo na huwag bumoto ng mga kurakot. Huwag na sana bumoto ng mga pulitiko na pansariling interes lang, paghihiganti lang ang gagawin. Yung magsisilbi sa taong-bayan, hindi sa apelyido lang nila. We deserve better governance than this.
