*phone rings*
It's my dad. He left almost 2 hours early for his appointment to be seen by a specialist. I figured he was calling to ask me about directions because his appointment is located at my hospital. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. He was just calling me to let me know that his appointment was not this year, but next year. :S Erm.
This is the reality of wait times in our health care system. I can't complain because afterall I am part of the system. Sigh.

I've been looking at images from the disaster that struck Philippines and its very disheartening. Everything is covered in mud and flood water. Sigh. How do you start over? I keep asking myself that question as I watch the struggle to thread the muddy water with backpacks over their head.
The amazing thing is that this is another example of how resilient and naturally happy Filipinos are. As the camera pans over them, they wave with a big smile on their faces. Even the kids, as unsanitary as it is, found entertainment by racing each other as they swam from one end to another. Then there's that one person interviewed who was even brave and hopeful enough to say that with hard work, they can get their things back. She was just happy that her family was safe.
I hope in due time the rescue team reach everyone that needs them.

Is it time to countdown to Christmas yet?
