Living Well

What a day! After weeks, we decided to see a dermatologist. She’s our derma years ago so we’re not seeing other doctor to keep our records intact. Ace’ feet was infected as it is obviously swelling while I am suffering from my wounds for weeks already. I am so hesitant before because I wanted to self-medicate. But instead of making my feet healed, it worsen because of the liquid that I am spraying. After more than 4 hours of waiting, the dermatologist finally checked our feet. It took us around ten minutes and the check-up was done. The consultation fee? More than twice the rate before so I was really shocked! Then we went to the hospital’s pharmacy to buy the medicines and topical ointments that were prescribed for us. I was mentally calculating how much everything will cost and my rough estimate is one thousand five hundred (PhP1,500). I told Ace about my estimate so when the pharmacy attendant told me to pay Three Thousand Six Hundred Eight pesos (PhP3,608.00), our jaws dropped. Ace’ antibiotics and anti-inflammatory are so expensive! It is really expensive to be sick! All in all, with just the check-up and medicines, our damage is almost five thousand. That’s huge amount for just the medicines for a feet infection. We could have saved the money for future use such that it could already buy gold coins as an investment. But Ace said he could reimburse the medicine expenses and portion of the consultation fee. So I am relieved. At least we don’t have to spend our own money for the medicines. Thanks God for such generous employer!
