The specialist doctor that takes care of my son only sees patients every Wednesday afternoons, so if you try to schedule an appointment with her now, you will only be able to see her in a month. But every week she opens 10 extra appointments, so this morning I got up early and went to the hospital to get a registration for my son’s reexamination.
As I had done this kind of registration before, I woke up at 5:30 AM, brushed my tooth, washed my face, and put some make up on, doing everything at a regular pace. At 6:00 AM, I walked to the metro station and took Line 7. When I got to the hospital and got in line to do the registration, there were 86 people before me. Recently, many children are getting viral infections, it’s hard to imagine how many parents and kids were in the hospital. Finally and luckily, I managed to register successfully.
