Given
that my vacation days will come to an end very soon and I'd be starting to go
find work again as early as august. My downloading of anime's have shifted now
to full gear, and aim that I'd have as many anime's as I can possibly before
I'd be sent off to work overseas.
On my situation right now , I think I'm very much ready and prepared now and
the only thing that’s missing is my confirmation from my current employer on
which ship I'd be assigned with. Of course I had to report back to my company
and see what they have for me.
On the past few days I was badly ill from sore throat ( from drinking too much
soda)., It was so bad that I had trouble swallow food every time I eat. The
infection was bad that I decided to buy anti-biotic., Amoxicillin 500 mg to be
specific. Unfortunately for me , I had trouble getting one on the local drug
store and they require buyer's to have prescriptions first before actually
buying one.
furious that i could not get antibiotics., I made a tweet that drug stores here
in the Philippines are pure Bull Shit and assholes for letting people suffer
first on a simple disease that can be
cured by anti-biotic. Not even my inflamed throat nor my high fever from it,
can stop me from twitting it on twitter. I was really badly ill and feverish .,
practically just laying on my bed for the whole day., to add worse on that
feeling was my disappointment that no drug store around in my area would let me
buy antibiotics - They were total dicks to sick people. Despite being ill i
came on another idea , that if I could not buy antibiotics thru simple means ,
then I have to resort to other methods in buying one. Besides I'm not buying
this for reasons like those junkies , but I'm buying this because I'm badly
sick.
Honestly
I don’t see the logical reasons why Pharmacies here had to restrict
antibiotics. Years back I could buy a whole box of it , and it was only
categories as "Over the counter medicines" ., People don’t have to
worry about getting badly ill of infection back then. Now it's kind of like
world war 2 era were antibiotics are getting rare because of restrictions and
people have to worry about infections because they can't get meds without a
prescription.
Having a prescriptions before getting medicines would be ideal if the
Philippines was an industrialized first world country., However it is not , and
like any third world country the healthcare here is set in the medieval ways
and doctors here along with medical facilities (both public and private) are
more interested in profits rather than curing sick people. And in the case of
getting first a prescription in the Philippines , Its going to be more
complicated because the cost of healthcare (doctors fee, hospital fee plus
medical test) cost more than the actual medicines needed and aside from that,
it takes them a while to make an
accurate diagnosis - And by the time
that happens a patients disease have already progress to the point that he's
already ridden.
I know so based on experience, health care in the Philippines is too overly
beaurocratic and profit driven than actual healthcare. Especially government
hospital
Anyway going back on my case , I had to resort to the option to contacting my
younger sister (who happens to work on a pharmacy) to go get
me some anti biotics. It really helps having a relative working in a pharmacy
were they have access to medicines , and can buy them without the hassle. I
asked my sister to buy me one and brought it to me. By the time she came to the
house , I was already laying on my bed sick with fever. I took the medicines
immediately and in the span of 3 days my health had improved.
