Referred to Another Doctor and Hospital

It was six o'clock in the morning. I talked to my daughter a night before. I should take her to public hospital in Bekasi. It is a state hospital. Then, on Tuesday morning, my daughter had shower. After I took my second daughter to school. I prepared to go to RSUD Bekasi, (Public hospital of Bekasi District).

The trip took one and a half our. I told my daughter to wear shoes because riding motorcycle in crowded street would be dangerous without wearing shoes.

At 7.00 in the morning, I started the motorcycle engine. I rode to RSUD Bekasi. The trip was very hot because the temperature was high.

I arrived at the hospital at 8.30. Then I went to the children counter. My daughter was 15 years old. She was referred to a children specialist doctor.

In the room, there had been a lot of people. It was common for public hospital seeing the situation. Hundreds of people were in line.

I took the queue number. It was number 48. There had been 48 patients but the counter was for children. Every patient was accompanied by the parents. That situation made the chairs in the waiting room were fully occupied.

I waited for a call. It was boring situation. The patients were coming but the doctors had not arrived. I got call at 11 a.m. I waited in the registration after I gave the doctor's reference. After 5 minutes, all the input data finished. I needed to wait. The nurse would call my daughter's name in front of the doctor's room.

It was around 11.45 a.m. My daughter got called. We entered the doctor's room. The doctor asked for the letter of reference. He read it for a while. Then he said" Your daughter should be referred to another doctor and another hospital" Then, he wrote a letter of reference.

My daughter should be referred to immunology and allergy specialist doctor. The doctor gave service in Hermina hospital. It was around one kilometer from public hospital, Bekasi.

Then, I decided to take survey to Hermina hospital. I also wanted to check the doctor's schedule.

The street in front of Hermina hospital was full of motorcycles. The hospital parking area was for car only. The parking area in front of the hospital was managed by public who live near the hospital.

Then, I asked the security officer to ask the doctor's schedule. He directed me to a room some distance from the main hospital building. It was a big building. Then I entered the room.

There had been a lot of people. I asked an officer. I should take the number again. That time, I did not want to get my daughter checked. I planed at another day. Then I decided to go home with my daughter.

We went to the parking area in front of Hermina hospital. I took the motorcycle rode home. I went home via different streets. It was 12.30 p.m. The day was hot. I continued riding home.

Then I arrived home at 1.30 p.m. I was very tired. That day, my daughter had not got medicines from doctors. I should go to referred doctors in Hermina hospital next time.

Now I take care of my daughter without medicines from doctors. I only give her turmeric and honey but the ankles of my daughter is getting better now.
