Medical Oxygen

While I was watching Bondi Vet on channel 70, the Bio channel, I saw a dog with an oxygen mask. He was ran-over by a vehicle and he was brought to the clinic in the middle of the night. He was having difficulty breathing due to the serious wounds he sustained.
I suddenly remembered that we have a small oxygen tank at home in case of difficulty in breathing.

I bought this at the Robinson’s Galleria lower basement at leat 5 yeas ago for more than P20k. There used to be a medical supplies store there, but they’ve been closed for several years.

The oxygen evaporates kaya every year or half-year the tank must be refilled even if it’s never been used.
I brought it to the office and instructed the driver to have it refilled.
Meron dito sa Makati but I forgot where, it was the former driver who’s been there twice.

A———– “Tumingin ka sa Yellow Pages, meron dyan yung malapit dun sa may stop light kaliwa, tatawid ka ng SSH, yung street na yun”.
Driver—— “Sige mam, hahanap ako”.

A———– “Umupo ka dyan sa labas, magtawag ka, mga P200 lang yan ganyang size, at saka mga 3 days yan babalikan na lang”.
Driver—— “Yes mam, mag ca-canvass ako”.

After ten minutes. I went out and didn’t find him there. I saw him at the stairs. “oh, naka hanap ka na?”
Driver—— “Magtatawag ako mam”.

He came back after a few minutes.
Driver——- “Mam meron akong nakita pero sa Cubao. Malayo dito sa atin. Dapat yung sa Makati, dito lang. Tatawag uli ako.
Driver—— “Mam, meron na. Kung switch tank daw mabilis, makukuha din”.
A———– “Anong switch tank? Hindi pwede kasi hindi ito gasul na basta- i -re refill lang. Tanungin mo kung ilang araw iintayin”.
Driver—— “Mas mabilis mam pag switch tank”.
A———– “Alam ko pero hindi nga pwede. Magkaka-iba”.
Driver—— “Pareho mam”.
A———– “Pano mo naman nalaman?”
Driver—— “Sabi nya”.
A———– “Hindi nga pwede, balikan mo na lang after 3 days”.
Driver—— “Oo mam, hindi pwedeng switch tank itong atin dahil branded”.
Driver—— “Mahal itong atin, branded ito”.
A———– “Umalis ka na nga, nakukulitan ako sa’yo”.
Driver—— “Sige mam, tawagan ko”.

My door was open, he was seated 1.5 meters away from my door. I could hear him talking on the phone with someone equally bright. Pentium I + Pentium IV = Clear Conversation.

Driver——- “Anong landmark nyo?”
Driver——- “Landmark mall? Kanlaon? Ano? Canton? Kalon? Kahon?”
Driver——- “Kunin ko stock address nyo, stock, anong stock address…”
Driver——- “karugtong nya pressway? ispress way? Main stop, mini-stop?
Driver——- “Ano yung marking, marking, mo, hindi si mark”.

A———— “Sabihin mo maliit lang yung tank 12 inches tall”.
Driver——- “Hello, 15 inches , mga four feet”.
Driver——- “Sino ito? Carlito? Ano Carolito?
Driver——- “Pangalan ng business nyo, Carolito?”
