--The sacrifices of a loving and caring mother--
The result of 2 speed medicine:
Private: first class and fast for the rich
Public: Not first class and very slow for the rest of us

The waiting is...long in public services...
From midnight until 08h00 a.m.
There was....ONE doctor for THE WHOLE HOSPITAL...
So, ONLY the ones who came by ambulance were...taken care of...

The rest of us?
Forbidden to go sleep at home and come back,
EVEN if we know, there won't be any attention given to us
before...08h00 in the morning.

They said, to each of us, your turn is almost there...

Yeah sure,
We know better...
We all had an average of minimum 15 hours wait
but most cases, it was more than that.

I am not impressed at all
with our governments
who think that ALL is under control
I once had to wait 23 hours with a kidney stone problem
sitting on that same chair! Emergency room my foot.

I am sure she got back home with bruises under her arm
from TRYING to find a decent position to rest her head for too many hours in a row
in what is a lost battle in the first place.
