The visit to Hospital Kuala Lumpur 2 weeks ago was a pleasant one. Who says government hospitals are inefficient? They have really improved a great deal from the old days.
I was there at about 7.45am and there was already 6-8 rows of patients waiting in line in front of the numbering counters. There were about 6-8 counters there giving out the numbers. We waited until 8pm when the counters opened promptly and I got my number within 10 minutes.
Then I proceeded to the consultation hall consisting 17 consultation rooms. Here, I waited 15-20 minutes. Each room consisted of 2 doctors if I'm not mistaken. got a young female chinese and after I told her all the symptoms and showed her the referral letter, she referred me to the hospital's specialist straightaway.
However, I was in for a long wait at the ENT specialist - about 2 hours. The doctor assured me that there's no foreign matters in my throat but it's a bit red. The nurse gave me a prescription form and I went downstairs to the dispensary to get my medicine. I got a box of Amoxicillin (antiboitic), nasal/oral spray (which looks scarily like asthmatic spray) and a gargle. These medicines all look awfully expensive! But guess what, I got all these - the consultation of 2 doctors and the medicines for a mere RM1!!! What can you do with RM1 nowadays?
I sure ain't complaining about their service at this point. Everything was wrapped up by 11.30am. If I had gone to the private ENT specialist I made an appointment with earlier, it would have cost me RM120 just for cosultation and treatment. Imagine...now I got all that with only RM1!
P/S: My throat feels better already but I got a fever yesterday so it's infected again, DAMN!
