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.
