Yesterday I accompanied Edmund to St. Luke’s Hospital in BGC for his routine colonoscopy and endoscopy. Last time he had this procedure was 10 years ago in Cardinal Santos. I was the one who suggested to him to go to Dr. Marvin Basco, the doctor who also did my colonoscopy a few months ago.
Edmund was scheduled for 8 am but we got there at 8:03 am. We waited for about an hour before he was asked to go in.
I waited at the lounge from 8 am to almost noon. I knew it would be a long wait so I brought the newspaper and my Ipad. Nirayuma na ako from sitting down.
Daming tao dun, parang palengke. Ang ingay din.
1. Middle Aged woman to her mom —–“The doctor said I have cancer”.
Mother’s response——-“That’s okay, no need to worry”.
Is that the right response? I think no. How can it be OKAY if one has cancer. This reminds me of this scene I saw on an evening news.
A woman was weeping because her husband was killed.
Someone tried to console her by saying “It’s okay”.
Huh? Her husband died and it’s okay?
2. A tall woman with very long straight hair reaching her waistline approached the reception and submitted his doctor’s request. That means he is also scheduled for a medical procedure.
Male hospital assistant manning the counter—- “Upo ho muna”.
Female patient ——“Pagkatapos, ahhh pweeng magshopping?”
I looked, kasi ang aga-aga gustong magshopping”. She’s not a she, but a he pala. She or He looks like a she. Her red lips were full a la Angelina Jolie. Wala syang bilbil.
3. After about half hour, A sexy woman stood up from her seat and approached the counter. Napatingin ako kasi nakalilis ang dress nya hanggang pwet.
She has fair skin and long brown hair. I looked kasi bakit nakalilis ang baro nya? Ohh, she’s the friend of the patient. She is also a he.
4. I continued reading the newspaper, from cover to cover. I didn’t want to go out because baka biglang lumabas na pala si Edmund eh wala ako.
I heard the receptionist calling out a name…
Gay #2 to Gay #1—– “Tinatawag ka, i-o-autopsy ka”.
