How long does it take to see a dr?

I had an ear problem the other day. Went to see the panel Dr 3 times before getting a referral to see the E.N.T. specialist but not before being pumped with antibiotics and in the end didnt really get any better.

Apart from being frustrated with the panel Drs. treatment, i was annoyed on how long it took me to see the E.N.T. Here is the timing it took me at SJMC or now called Sime Darby Medical Center (thinking it will faster because closer to zareefs school):

1. 10 minutes - find a parking (lucky because i followed a couple getting out)
2. 40 mintues - registering to see the dr. that was after i called up personally my insurer (PMC) to ask why so late in faxing my Guarantee Letter. Seems the hospital receptionist tak hantar fax.
3. 5 minutes - in line to see the ENT
4. 5 minutes - The actual treatment. The Dr. had a peak, sucked some stuff out and poofff i was healed.
5. 5 minutes - to get my prescription order and other paperwork
6. 1 hour - to get my medication (the most frustrating part). Only for one measly ear drop medicine.
7. 20 mintues - Just to get out of the carpark and line up to pay.

So in the end it took me 2 hours 25 minutes for a 5 minute treatment. Damnnnnn it. Can you beleive that from a highly expensive private hospital. And worst of all i was suppose to pick up Zareef and i was an hour plus late (i budget 1 jam 30 je to go to the hospital.. and i couldnt pick him up first because takut hilang parking and turn).

Zareef was the last one at school and he looked as he was counting every second i was late. I will never forget his sad face (he is rarely sad but normally mengamuk je). Once i parked he was already clinging at the school gates. He was trying to hold in his tears while asking 'kenapa ayah lambat sangat?' but tak tahan sedih, dia terus nangis silu. It made me extremely sad/upset especially adding to my frustration before. Felt like i failed him. i did. i guarantee (god willing) this will not happen again.
