Just one thing about massifying doctors attendance:
- Today I went to an eye clinic to check on my eyes, because I´ve been getting blind since I got this 8-hour job that makes me look at one same excel file with tiny letters. Head hurts, eyes hurt and I can´t see very well..
- Getting there there was a line to identify myself.
- After the line you had to way god knows how many minutes on some sofas till one of the 10 balcony people attended you to make your file.
- Go back to the sofas (with some other thousand people - most of them old) to wait till the pass your health plan card and ask you back to sign.
- Sign and go back to the sofas. Wait some more.
- Get your file and go to some other balcony at the second floor.
- The secretary tells you have to wait on some chair on the left side of the room and wait for somebody to call.
- You sit with some new thousand people and start to read a magazine and wait.
- Some girl calls your name and sits you on a machine. Check your eyes on the machine. Asks if I wear glasses (I say no).
- She tells me to go back outside to my chair (wich has been taken by some old lady and she also took the magazine I was reading).
- The same girl calls back some time later and leads you to the doctor (FINALLY a doctor - I was thinking he didn´t exist).
- He makes some quick tests, asks some quick questions, write you a notice for glasses and you leave. (I do have to defend him by saying he was very gentle charismatic and tried to leave me confortable).
And all that only took 50 minutes! *sarcasm*!
You think it´s over?!
- Some secretary from the clinic calls back and asks what name was written on my prescription.
- I look and it´s not mine!!!!!
- She asks me to go back there tomorrow to change it (like I had all the time in the world!).
Now, how in the world you put a Lina and a Nina one after the other for an appointment on a massed system like this?!
