Day 64 - Medical Problems Everywhere

Yesterday, I noticed one middle-aged male guard looked like he was not with it.  I asked him whether he was OK and he replied that he was just sleepy.  This morning, I witnessed him walking into a column!!!  He was definitely not all right!  I wonder whether he has the onset of something...

I saw another medical problem today.  I met my next door neighbour.  She went to ... or was supposed to have gone to the hospital for an operation on the torn ligaments of her thumb yesterday.  She waited for the operation for a month with cordeine.  But according to her, she came back even before getting to the hospital.  It seems that there was a scuffle between her and escorts.  I don't know what really happened but no matter what happened, it sounds ridiculous to me to miss out the operation.  I am sure the surgeon and the hospital staff were annoyed.  No wonder this country's tax is so high.

In the evening, my other side next door neighbour was surrounded by paramedics.  Earlier in the day, she was talking to a nurse in the medical centre that she would call an ambulance.  So she might have done.  It seems that she needed some medication but she could not get.

Since there were medical problems everywhere today, I thought that for the sake of completeness, I would lodge my complaint against the Medical Centre (IHMS).  My prescription for anti-anxiety expired while I was in Brisbane and the nurses in the medical centre here kept saying that they would arrange a GP which has not been done even today.  I will call an ambulance if I cannot get a new prescription on Monday!
