inside the hospital
I came to assist my cousin brother for a medical checkup. Thimphu hospital is very huge and large number of people going about their works. The building stinks like a hell, the air is heavy with intoxicating drugs. Massive number of patients are worst for my head . Things otherwise would have been easier if I came early. But it's noon and the queue is freaking long. My token number is 103, literally it means I have to wait and watch hundred and two people enter and exit the chamber. My turn will be due only in about three hours from now. I am already running out of patience and might even succumb to sickness.
We were in line ,some people came and called on doctor with no comply to token procedure. They came late but their consultation was given first preference. We came punctually and had to wait. It was a big irony, but none payed heed . When our turn came, 4 hours has already elapsed. It was a test of patience pushing us to limit.
Winter is very harsh, the cold sinks in our bones. The sun rays are faint and no match to the freezing air. The visit to hospital came to end ,meanwhile the sun was sinking behind the tall mountains. With my hands in pocket and face shawled headed homeward.
